INSIDE: The powerful steps we took to scale Brennan’s agency

Before working with 8FA, Brennan’s agency was doing under $500k/year, and he was:
The only person talking to clients
Unsure how to onboard new team members
Had the limiting belief he had to do everything
Over the last year, we’ve helped Brennan’s agency, Jumpstart ROI, add $1,000,000 in new annual recurring revenue.
Here’s how we did it:
Process & Foundation
Brennan didn’t have the right foundation to scale a team.
First, we had to map out his process workflow…
Covering every operational step from signing clients, to retaining them.
We helped them build an elite onboarding experience (which I’ve seen help clients stay 2x longer!)
Then, we systematized everything we could with Zapier integrations to maximize efficiency.
We also built more defined SOPs for regular tasks…
And for more complex projects, Brennan recorded in-depth Loom trainings to explain his thought processes.
Think of it this way:
SOPs teach people what to do
Trainings teach people how to think
Next, He Hired an Ops Manager
With his operational foundation set, it was time to hire an ops manager to free up Brennan’s time.
With clear tasks and workflows, it was easy to onboard this new hire and provide him with a strong foundation of trainings.
The new ops manager immediately took over meetings, saving Brennan a TON of time.
New Media Buying Talent
Previously, Brennan tried to hire cheaper talent to save on margins.
But after hiring a great ops manager, Brennan finally understood the value of A+ talent.
We helped him level-up his media buying team (a larger investment for him at the time)…
And to make it work financially, Brennan had to raise prices to maintain strong margins.
The result?
Higher LTV due to better service
Even more time back for Brennan
Improving Comms With Slack
Before we worked together, all client comms were done via email!
We moved client comms to Slack to create cleaner, easier communication flows, saving everyone more time.
Compounding Sales
After building him an amazing team, Brennan’s agency got even more referrals from its clients.
This reinforced that a great service leads to more revenue, so we doubled down.
With more leads coming in, he leaned into auditing his sales process…
To increase the value prospects got when they ended up on the Jumpstart ROI calendar.
Many founders would have avoided this due to increased cost and time per lead…
But this actually increased the closing rate for Brennan!
The Final Piece – Attribution Channels
The final needle mover for Jumpstart ROI?
Adding additional attribution sources.
With more free time to reinvest into growth, Brennan built and improved processes to compound his brand and outreach, including:
A new cold email process
Stronger newsletter growth and content processes
Leveraging a simple process to ask clients to continue to refer business
After a year working together…
These combined steps led to an extra $1M in annual recurring revenue.
