How to Increase Profits by 66% by changing your Pricing & Selling Model

Grow your capacity & increase your profits by adopting a value based pricing & selling strategy

  • Are you working super hard for your clients but not being as profitable as you would wish?
  • Do you over service clients (and they are still not happy!)?
  • How often are you increasing your prices?

I get it! It was an issue for me when I ran my agency and is an issue for many agencies that I work with. We work really hard to delight our clients yet they still want more or don't seem to value the work we deliver!

The thing is that traditionally agencies have sold their time or fixed project-based fees based on the tasks they are delivering but this approach no longer works. There is a fundamental mismatch between what the client is buying (certainly not your time or tasks) and what you are selling them.

There is a solution:

If you can align your product/service to the client's needs, desires, pain points and most importantly, the outcomes and impacts they are seeking, then you will be able to charge bigger fees, become more profitable and have stronger long term relationships with your clients. And in this course I am going to show you EXACTLY how to change the way you sell and deliver your service using a value based pricing and selling approach.

You will get life time access to this course so it won't be a huge drain on your time and you can use it a reference when you need it and YES these approaches will work for all kinds of agencies, including YOURS.

My Story

I started my marketing agency back in the early 90s with exuberant youthful optimism of growing a business that would give me control, flexibility, freedom and fantastic income.

Over the next 11 years we grew the agency to have 25 staff with turnover of about £1.5 million. However, as we grew, instead of giving me more flexibility and freedom, I found myself tied to the agency more than ever - with clients and staff looking at ME to solve their problems and support them.

I recall sitting in my corner desk and every day having 'wheelbarrows of crap' pilled onto my desk. I was dealing with tasks that didn't excite me (quality, HR, finance etc.) and felt I was taking one step forward and one step back - all the while with this feeling that my success was dependent on continued growth.

Something needed to change!

What I needed to do was first change my mindset and then focus on getting the structures in place to build a self-running agency. Now that doesn't mean an agency that could run without me but rather, an agency that would be more self-sufficient and less dependent on me, giving me the flexibility and freedom that I so craved!

Instead of making that change, I decided the best option was to sell the agency and move on. Now I don't regret that decision but if I could do it all again or go back and give my younger self some advice, I would say "focus on building a self-running agency that gives you flexibility, control, income and freedom."

The Self-Running Agency Implementation Group is born out of my own experience as an agency owner plus my time working with many hundreds of agency owners over the past 14 years, and seeing that they all share in the same aspirations and challenges as I did. Challenges we tackle in The Self-Running Agency Implementation Group.

  • Rob supported me to evolve our proposals and costings to sell on value rather than time. This has had a significant impact on the bottom line: after evaluating the profitability of the business, he has helped us increase profits by 66%.
