Hey everyone :) I run a growth agency (strategy /execution / marketing sales / tech) and we're looking to trial a new range of growth plans with a new guarantee: we'll work for free, if we don't achieve any growth goals within 6 months, until goals have been hit.

Any takers, thoughts, questions, concerns or feedback?

I've been in this field for around 15 years and unfortunately the problem of unreliable agencies/experts doesn't seem to be going away so I'm trying to find a better way.

I love this idea. Especially for those starting their brands. They usually have a budget but are more inclined towards guarantees in the beginning.

I think this builds trust right away & founders would stick with some one who provided a guarantee rather than an agency that didn’t.

DM me I’d be interested in hearing more.

Yeah you're completely right. These guys starting out have finite funds and they want to work with people who are confident about not wasting it on a bunch of services that don't actually unlock any kind of growth.

Asking them to identify the good from the bad is like asking the average person to spot a good neurosurgeon from a bad one. I think it's time we, as a sector, stop pushing businesses through painful trial and error when it comes to finding decent growth partners 😊

So potentially you won’t receive a dollar until 6 months + net30 into the engagement? Won’t that make it hard to add a lot of customers in close succession ?

Thanks for clarifying, I reread the post and it looks like that’s what you said the first time too, I initially read it the other way.

Sounds like a swell plan since you’re playing at a high level. It’s an interesting space with an increasingly low barrier to entry so I like this to position yourself at the top.

Things are not as fast paced or as exciting as agency side, but I have also been dragging out tasks due to procrastination and just feeling lost. How can I do better?

This question might anger some, but not meant to be provoking. Does anyone else feel that half the jobs in tech (scrum master, project manager, product manager, etc.) are more hindering than helpful? I feel like productivity would sky rocket if we didn’t have 10+ hours a week added of admin work/agile ceremonies/status meetings, and you just let developers and analysts do their job. Why are we spending hours learning how to estimate story points (for example) rather than improving production?
