Thanks for reaching out! Agency growth is good... until it gets out of control. I love helping agency owners grow profitably while spending less time on work they don't like.

One client said my advice helped her stop “treading water,” so she and her business partner could finally focus on solutions instead of problems. Another client said he saw more progress in his first month of coaching than in 10 years on his own. At another client’s agency, I uncovered $2+ million in untapped value during our first consulting call. Here are more examples.

My approach to helping agencies focuses on accountability (keeping you on track), advice (what to do, based on your unique situation), and perspective (how your situation compares to other agencies). I've worked directly with more than 600 agencies on every inhabited continent—but I now limit my active client count to ensure you get a boutique client experience.

Your answers here will help my team determine if we're a match. Anything you share is confidential. You'll hear from us within 2 business days about next steps. –Karl Sakas

Question Title

* 1. What’s your contact info, so I can match your answers to you?

Question Title

* 2. Why did you start (or join) your agency? How has that matched up to reality?

Question Title

* 3. Do you lean toward running a Lifestyle agency (where your goal is to keep running the agency as long as possible) or an Equity agency (where your goal is to sell it eventually)? If you’re not sure, check out my article on the topic.

Question Title

* 4. If you could wave a magic wand, what’s different 1 year from now? What about 5 years from now?

Question Title

* 5. What KPIs (key performance indicators) would you use to track our success in working together? Typically, my work focuses on helping you grow profitably while reducing your day-to-day involvement in running the agency—aka, "work less, earn more."

Question Title

* 6. Let's get specific. How fast have you grown your revenue in recent years? And, how fast do you want to grow revenue in future years?

Question Title

* 7. Successful agency growth requires a strong team. Tell me about your current team: the number of employees, the number of contractors, and their level of quality (e.g., New Rope vs. Wet Twine).

Question Title

* 8. What's your target budget? I can typically find something that works for most budgets and client situations. For a comprehensive custom consulting project—including an initial strategy plus implementation support—my typical client invests US$25,000 to $35,000 over 2-4 months. But I have options ranging from $1,200 to $50,000+, depending on your goals. The Executive Coaching program is currently a flat $4,500 per month, plus an additional $3,000 in the first month. A one-off Bite-Size Consulting call is a flat $1,200.)

Question Title

* 9. If you’ve worked with a business consultant (or coach or other paid advisor before), what did you like and not like about that relationship?

Question Title

* 10. Where are you today in your selection process? Your answer will help me customize what we discuss next! For instance, some agency leaders are still deciding whether they even want help. Others are here because one of my clients recommended they get in touch ASAP. And some reach out after following my content for years, and it's just a question of the details.

Question Title

* 11. Do you have any questions for me or my team before we proceed?
