After realizing that many of our agency clients were unable to scale and overworked, we created a new accelerator program to help them solve their systems and automation challenges.
We started by acquiring new clients through cold advertising on Facebook and soon were building a small team of sales reps, marketing manager & business managers plus a few assistants.
We went from highly profitable $20K+ months to increasing our overheads, business complexity and while we went on to gross over 6-figures for the year, we ended up building the type of business I didn't want to build. This was a tough, expensive lesson to learn.
