Agencies, Sharing What Works

As agencies, sometimes we don't know what we don't know. The Agency Council is a select group of agencies who want to compare notes & learn from each other to accelerate improvement and growth.

Mastermind

Our monthly "Show & Tell" is topic focused to dive deep into the nuts and bolts of running and growing an agency. Breakthrough bottlenecks and solve problems by learning how others have done it. We'll win together.

Lead Exchange

You either have too few leads or too many leads. We get it. Bigger agencies in our group are offering poor-fit leads to agencies hungry for deals. We play matchmaker. Leads aren't free, but they're cheaper than salespeople. Pay only for closed deals.

Currently in private alpha

We're opening the group in August, 2016. Join the early notification list if interested in updates.

2 Ways to Play

You can Lead

If you'd like to start with some deposits of what's working for you, you probably realize you'll get to make huge withdrawals later by having relationships with peer agencies. Leaders get perks on this platform.

You can Lurk

If you feel you have more to learn than contribute, you can lurk for 100 days without judgement. Then, we'll let you step up to the plate and share some ideas, and get constructive feedback if you want it..

Either way, you'll learn.

Great developers share ideas to build better apps.

Great doctors share insights to increase their knowledge.

Great athletes train together, raising the bar on each other.

Rules of the Road

There will be NO POACHING of talent from agencies in the council.

We will only speak POSITIVELY about other agencies in the council.

Member behavior will be congruent with these core values.

WAIT! Someone's going to steal my idea!

If you don't want others to learn about or copy your secret sauce, don't share it.
If you won't share anything b/c you're afraid it might weaken you, don't join.
If you want to be a part of a smart collective that shares and wins together, welcome!


Not All Pain = Gain

Working together, council members will avoid potholes and navigate the agency growth journey more smoothly and more quickly.
