Build a Scalable Agency and grow without skill and staff shortages.
What would you do if your agency crashed like that?
I had no early signs and didn't expect that. Suddenly in 2018 I almost lost my entire agency with 43 employees. Why? I desperately tried to escape the hamsterwheel and wanted to scale with other partners, freelancers and outsourcing providers. Do you try to scale? Take my learnings for free.
Key learnings you can take away
- Do you fight for skilled talent? Staff-Shortages can kill your teams performance and the entire health of your business
- Do you try to scale with juniors? Don’t hire juniors and expect good quality fast
- Don’t hire all-rounders that can do anything but with average or low quality
- Do you feel pressure from high dependencies? Avoid high dependencies to individual team members and to clients
- Transparency and control over results and progress for and in your team are most important
- Freelancers are available faster than you could think of and deliver more reliable results as I expected
- Somethings work looks like chaos? Structure, workflows and the right tools are key for result focused collaboration and to scale
