1:1 Agency Mentorship

Your agency has potential. Let's unlock it together.

This is deep, hands-on coaching for agency owners who are doing good work but know they're leaving money, time, and growth on the table. I get into your numbers, your operations, your sales process, and your team structure. Then we fix what's broken and build what's missing.

For: Experts and agencies doing $150k-$750k/year
Format: 1:1 coaching calls + async access
Capacity: 14 clients max

Who I Work With

Two kinds of agency owners. One coaching approach.

Whether you're trying to grow past a plateau or preparing for a life-changing exit, the work is the same: better pricing, better systems, better decisions. Where you're headed is what makes it personal.

The Growth Stage

You want to grow without losing your freedom.

$15k–$40k/month

You're good at what you do and you've built something real. But you're doing everything yourself, your pricing is too low, and you can't figure out how to grow without working more hours or sacrificing profit. You didn't start this business to feel trapped in it.

  • Ready to charge what you're worth and stop underpricing
  • Need an outside perspective and someone to keep you accountable
  • Want to grow revenue while protecting your time and profit
  • Looking for a seasoned ear from someone who's been there
The Exit Stage

You've built something big. Now make it sellable.

$80k+/month

You've got real revenue and a team. But the business still depends on you too much, margins could be better, and you're thinking about what comes next. You want to build toward an exit that gives you life-changing money in 3–5 years.

  • Building a business that runs without you in every meeting
  • Optimizing margins and operations for maximum valuation
  • Want a clear roadmap to a sellable, profitable agency
  • Need a coach who's actually been through the exit process
What's Included

Everything you need to grow, nothing you don't

No courses. No group calls with 50 strangers. Just focused, personalized coaching built around your business.

Regular 1:1 coaching calls

Consistent, focused calls where we dig into your business together. We start with a 12-week intensive to build momentum fast, then find the rhythm that works best for you.

Async access between calls

You have direct access to me between sessions. When a pricing question, client issue, or hiring decision comes up mid-week, you don't have to wait. Send a message and I'll get back to you.

$20,000+ in frameworks and templates

Pricing calculators, proposal templates, SOW frameworks, hiring guides, sales scripts, and operational playbooks. All battle-tested from my own agencies and my clients'.

Real accountability

Not in a "did you do your homework" way. In a "you told me you were going to raise your prices three weeks ago and you still haven't, so let's talk about why" way. I keep you honest.

I feel much more focused on what I need to do. Ideas had been bouncing around in my head, but I hadn't brought them out. Some of the clarity you've given me... it's been really helpful.

How It Works

Simple process, real results

1

Apply

Fill out a short application so I can understand your business, where you are, and where you want to go. I only take on clients I know I can help.

2

Kickoff

We start with a deep dive into your numbers, operations, and goals. By the end of week one, you'll have clarity on what to fix first and why.

3

Build

Week by week, we work through pricing, sales, positioning, operations, and hiring. I give you the frameworks. You do the work. We measure the results together.

What We Work On

The levers that actually move the needle

Every engagement is different, but these are the areas where most agency owners are leaving the most on the table.

Pricing

Stop undercharging. Build tiered offers that clients understand and happily pay premium for.

Sales process

Close more deals at higher prices with a repeatable process that doesn't feel sleazy.

Positioning

Get clear on who you serve, what you do, and why you're the obvious choice.

Lead generation

Build a pipeline that keeps opportunities coming in so you're never desperate.

Operations

Install systems so the business runs smoothly even when you take two weeks off.

Hiring and delegation

Know who to hire next, what to delegate, and how to make the math work in your favor.

Is This Right For You?

Be honest with yourself

This is for you if...

  • You're doing $100k-$500k/year and ready to break through the plateau
  • You want to double revenue in the next 12 months, and possibly build toward an exit in 3-5 years
  • You deliver strong results but struggle with pricing, positioning, or sales
  • You're doing everything yourself and you're tired of it
  • You're coachable, you take action fast, and you do the work

This is not for you if...

  • You're under $100k/year and still figuring out the basics
  • You're looking for a magic bullet or a hack to skip the hard work
  • You haven't proven you can consistently get clients and deliver results
  • You want someone to do the work for you instead of coaching you through it
Let's Work Together

How working with me works

Most clients make back their investment in the first 6 weeks. The rest is profit.
