How to Sell Your Agency w/ Ronik Patel

mercredi 21 août 2024 • Durée 33:24

"You have to think about the exit from day one.” – Ronik Patel, Founder of UnlimitedWP.

If you’ve ever dreamt of selling your agency, look no further than this episode. Excitingly, we have another two-time guest on, as Corey welcomes back Ronik Patel to discuss his recent success in getting his company, UnlimitedWP acquired by E2M. And, if the latter sounds familiar, it’s because its founder, Manish Dudharejia, is also a recent guest and friend of the podcast!

Ronik joins the show to share his exit experience, how that came to be, and all the lessons along the way. It truly is fascinating to witness the journey of a competitor becoming the acquirer, and what decisions led to the exit - or partial merger, to be exact.

While this episode is a gold mine of M&A advice, If we had to summarize a single takeaway, it would be that exits are made from day one. You have to plan for it from the get-go to ensure that your agency can run (and be acquired) without the day-to-day involvement of the founder.

Beyond the acquisition, we also discuss his future plans and what Ronik is building next for agencies. Tune in for the full story.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

- How to prime your agency for an acquisition.

- Best practices for a successful exit.

- Acquisition experience and learnings.

- What’s next for Ronik and what he’s building in the agency space.

Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders:

- If you’re looking for an exit, seek out buyers immediately.

- Trust and transparency are paramount in the acquisition process.

- Make a list of potential buyers early on and build relationships before you need them.

- Aligning on values is the cornerstone of a successful acquisition.

Tune in for expert insights on how to find your niche and become the specialist you know you can be.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

- Vlad’s growth journey from starting as a general agency to niching down to restoration marketing.

- How becoming a specialist in a specific niche enables you to build deeper relationships with clients and give them better results.

Episode: 14

Chapter Fourteen of Anyone, Not Everyone highlights the power of vertical outbound sales and marketing strategies, stressing the importance of proactively reaching out to potential clients within a targeted vertical market.

Scaling Sales with The Law of Attraction w/ Justin Michael

mercredi 3 juillet 2024 • Durée 24:26

“I built out a cold outreach methodology around heuristics, which is a series of pattern interrupts, or shortcuts.” Justin Michael, Co-Founder of Hard Skill Exchange

Ready for a different perspective on sales outreach?

This week’s guest is an executive sales coach who has helped over 200 startups make over their outbound efforts by leaning into the unexpected.

Justin Michael is a best-selling author of the book “Sales Superpowers” and the Co-Founder of Hard Skill Exchange, the world’s first real-time 1:1 skill-building marketplace.

After spending some 20,000 hours (his words, not ours!) on cold calls, he started mapping out what it took to get to predictable outcomes and what made prospects open to the pitch. And so, Justin’s bespoke methodologies were born.

If you’re currently in an agency sales role, this episode is a goldmine for you. While some advice may feel counter-intuitive, like doing unscalable work, such as relationship-building to scale your agency, Justin’s tried and tested strategies render results in the long-term.

Justin and Corey get into topics like cold outreach, building relationships with prospects, Justin’s newest book, and tapping into disruptive thinking like combining sales with the law of attraction.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

- Catching prospects’ attention and why doing the wrong thing, like grammatical errors in sales emails, can be effective.

- How to approach cold prospects in a manner that doesn’t repel them.

- Unconventional ways of getting in front of your target accounts.

- Scaling sales with the law of attraction, and the most ‘controversial book written in B2B.’

Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders:

- Try to pattern interrupt when doing outreach, for example, humans respond much better to visual information.

Mastering the Landscaping Vertical w/ Rob Murray

mercredi 26 juin 2024 • Durée 40:28

“Eventually, we stopped the shenanigans and got vertical." – Rob Murray, Founder and President of Intrigue Media

Some founding stories are more eccentric, and entertaining, than others, and today’s guest certainly has a tale to tell. While these days, the digital marketing agency Intrigue Media does over $5 million in annual revenue serving 110 clients and counting, its founder, Rob Murray started his business selling local out-of-home advertising all the way back in college.

While Rob started out as a local generalist, he ultimately, after some hits and glorious misses, narrowed his focus to select niches like HVAC and landscaping.

Rob joins Corey to not just share Intrigue Media’s journey, but also to dish out a hot take (or five!), served with a side of refreshing honesty.

For one, Rob doesn’t think that different niches are truly that different to serve; you just have to deeply understand business basics like revenue models and problem-solving. Pair that with honest service and the ethos of trying to do good, and you’re golden.

So tune in for a wealth of knowledge and actionable advice on topics like growth and retention, what not to do with sales, and moreover, the leadership principles that Rob lives by.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

Rob’s crazy founding story from DOOH to verticalization.
How showing up in the community and doing thought leadership sparked initial growth.
Rob’s approach to marketing, sales, and business leadership.
The challenges of hiring sales and how to incentivize them.

Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders:

You have two ways to position your offering: vertical versus horizontal.
If you have the resources, you can grow quickly in the beginning by creating a sensation that your agency is everywhere. Think: parties, events, community, and lots of speaking.
Don’t send sales into the market before you’re sure they get your business and you trust them to represent it.
Try to uncover unconscious beliefs you hold about your business to break harmful patterns; journaling is great for this.

Anyone, Not Everyone, Chapter 12: Vertical Sales and Marketing Strategies | Plan Your Campaigns

lundi 24 juin 2024 • Durée 16:50

Episode: 12

Chapter Twelve of Anyone, Not Everyone outlines the necessity of creating specific sales and marketing materials to appeal to a chosen vertical market, stressing that most of a client's buying decision is made before the first contact.

It recommends crafting a dedicated vertical webpage, compiling impactful client success stories and testimonials, and gathering vertical-specific social proof to demonstrate expertise and build trust with potential clients.

Reminder that this is a chapter in Corey Quinn’s book, Anyone, Not Everyone. Over the next few weeks, we'll be releasing a few chapters at a time so that you can escape founder-led sales.

White-Label Agency Services w/ Manish Dudharejia

mercredi 19 juin 2024 • Durée 47:55

“The first six, seven years were a lot of lessons. I made a lot of mistakes. I did not know how to lead people. I didn't know what kind of people should be hired." – Manish Dudharejia, Founder and President E2M Solutions

This week’s guest, Manish Duharejia, is a true agency aficionado with over a decade at the helm of his marketing company, E2M Solutions. Founded in 2012, E2M Solutions is an integrated white label digital agency that helps other agencies expand their capacity through white label services.

Today, Manish runs a 200-person operation with offices in California and India. From his beginnings in SEO to becoming a company founder, Manish joins the show to detail his journey in building a thriving global company.

What is refreshing about Manish is his candor around the lessons he’s learned, including challenges and even failures. For instance, he had to scale his team back from 120 to 40 to build out sustainable processes first, so he could ultimately get the company back on track.

While Manish initially built momentum by partnering with agency coaches and sponsoring events, what truly accelerated growth was switching from project-based fees to unlimited services with fixed costs.

What else did the trick?

Listen to the episode to uncover valuable learnings on niching down, running an offshore team, hiring order, as well as leadership hits and misses, and key milestones for E2M Solutions.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

How agencies can scale with white label services.
Hard lessons and company growing pains.
The benefits (and process) of niching down.
Why Manish built his business leveraging both US and Indian talent.

Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders:

Growth can happen in an instant when you’re doing the right things. But when you find the right fit, niche, offering, and vertical, that’s the unfair advantage. Nobody knows this better than today’s guest, who not only coaches agencies on growth, but also grew his own verticalized agency from zero to seven figures in under two years.

Corey and Josh sit down to discuss the genesis of both of Josh’s businesses, and most importantly, to detail how specialized agencies can pass that coveted 7-figure mark through setting up systems for world-class delivery and recurring revenue.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:
