Hey everyone, I'm looking for some resources that can help me to determine my pricing and business model for a new agency. Does anyone have suggestions?

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?

After joining for laterals, will client interview be there in Bosch?

Agency-consultancy that’s had a terrific first three years. We are considering buying our way into the next round of growth, but not quite sure how to put out feelers without being too forward.

Suggestions/ideas?

When building a new brand who is the real client? Who has the final say?Who should you really listen to if no one is taking the lead? The president of the company, the original owner, the financial money partner, the third party manager? Everyone seems to have a voice but the main contact is the underling gathering and offering their own opinion which strangely seems to be the most on point. How do you handle this type of situation?

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Biz Dev? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a biz dev / accounts person will eagerly be coming up with half-baked solutions for a prospective client, and it always feels like a cluster F when they want to know what resources, budget, and time we need in order to execute said service - which they thought of in the first place!)

I get an email or a LinkedIn post from a company that promises to fill my pipeline with leads probably three times a week. I’m wondering if anyone has used one of these services and can provide a recommendation? I have a pretty narrow niche and have figured out what my ideal client looks like, so I assume that these services will fill my inbox, but with leads that are not quite right. Anyone have a good experience?

I just started an agency with a strategy partner. We are looking for good examples of small agencies that are positioning themselves around strategy, brand, and advertising capabilities in clear and interesting ways. Who’s standing out and doing it right?

Hi All. Looking for thoughts on vertical expertise and whether it’s just a good sales tool or whether anyone has considered structuring the company in this format because it drives stronger work? I’ve always been fairly anti vertical because I think it stifles ideas and thinking, but you can always have people that specialize that you pull in when having bespoke industry knowledge can help. What do others think? Do clients want this from their partners?

All of us who have decided to leave the big stage and carve out a piece of the pie for ourselves this is where we join efforts and help each other with what we’ve learned and how to be better
