🌟 How to scale your agency with talent (the right way)

If you’re sitting on cash and considering buying a business…

There’s an even better option, that’s less risky, and could make you a lot more money.

Let me explain…

80% of buyers don’t pay the full earn-out to the previous owners of the business they acquire.

Dealing with 80% odds of a business acquisition deal going sideways?

Not great.

If you have CASH and want to scale…

The best hack is to scale talent

One of my old clients runs a call center that calls warm leads on behalf of his clients (after the lead fills out a form on an ad).

He had a large stack of cash and was considering buying a business to add more services.

With the information I shared above, that’s a risky move.

Instead, here’s a better idea:

1. Identify a great complementary offer

The simplest way to do this?

Ask your clients what other services they would want to buy from you, and would stay a year to get.

2. Find an ELITE operator to fulfill that service

Look for someone who is either:

• A+ talent at a company

• A freelancer that doesn’t have a funnel for leads

3. Reach out to top talent

Pitch prospective talent on a joint venture.

Can be 50-50, 60-40, 70-30.

Your biggest goal here is to get an A+ operator to say yes.

4. Crawl, walk, run

Don’t dive in head first.

Test a few clients and scale from there.

Upon success, you can invest in their salary (rather than a business).

If you’re fronting the cash and getting leads, you hold the leverage to own 70-90% of the new business unit…

An approach that will yield a faster return on investment.

Compared to buying a business…

This method of growth has a much higher success rate.
