Description

If I had to point to two things that increase agency efficiency and profitability, it would have to come down to ‘Client Management’ & ‘Proposals.’ Client management would include internal, external communications and expectations. As for proposals, we want to structure them so that they can be easily updated in 15mins or less using systems and formats that are repeatable.  

In this episode of The Agency Blueprint, we have Dan, agency owner, and a member of The Agency Blueprint Mastermind Program. Dan is the agency owner of a Web Design Studio based in Norwich, UK. Today, we will be going through a live consulting as he has two items that he is looking to solve. During this live consulting, we will carve out a pathway forward for him and, in turn, enlighten you.
