Agency Shortcuts

Learn from My Wins... and My Mistakes

Leading Jolly SEO since 2017, I have found that scaling a digital services agency to $1,000,000 annual gross revenue isn't that tricky.You just need product market fit.Staying above $1,000,000 is where things get hard:

  • Recruitment & talent retention

  • Client churn prevention

  • Expanding client acquisition channels

  • Cash flow management

  • Profit margin protection

  • Reclaiming Your Time

I have learned a lot of Founder lessons the hard way...In other words, I have failed in a lot of ways that, some of which, were preventable:

  • Lost all-star talent

  • Fumbled key accounts

  • Threw money away on over-promising vendors

  • Saw margins shrink to a low of <20%

  • Over-worked and missed out on invaluable time with my family

I also hit some home runs, and corrected a lot of those earlier mistakes:

  • Continue to work with several early, high-performing team members

  • Numerous 4+ year-old accounts continue to generate profit

  • Inhouse & vendor KPIs control business development expenses

  • Profit margins are back to 35%+

  • I reclaimed my personal & family life with workweeks averaging under 40 hours, and real vacations.

Whenever I see a newer agency owner asking questions about a challenge I've found a solution to, I offer free advice. Maybe you've seen me around in forums like Dynamite Circle, Traffic Think Tank, SEO Signals Lab, and others.But, internet comments only help so much. After I began offering my time on calls to problem-solve one-off issues, I realized that while a lot of issues seem similar, solutions need to be tailor-made. That's why I have invested $10,000+ in my own mentors and coaches.As I seek to share what I've learned the hard way, instead of an "Agency Owner 101 Course", I'm offering my time as your advisor.Engage me for a 30- or 60-day sprint, and we'll correct your most pressing issues. Whether you're trying to:

  • Hold onto your best clients & talent

  • Secure new ICPs

  • Increase existing margins

  • Improve cash flow

  • Reclaim your time

I am here to provide you with a custom solution, drawn out of my experience, network, tech stack, and skillset.Want to know more? Write me at greg@gpheilers.comI'm here to serve.
