You're onboarding new clients and team members, but it's harder than ever to pull up data on team performance, workload, profitability, and project progress.

Chaotic Projects

Chaotic Projects

Without a single source of truth, work continues to slip through the cracks, deadlines aren't being met, and your team is operating in silos.

A Frustrated Team-1

A Frustrated Team

Your work management system is complex and your team is frustrated because they don't know how to use it, when to use it, or what work is on their plate.

Our Proven Process

Follow our proven playbook to cancel agency chaos and replace that chaos with clarity.

ZenPilot - Blueprint

Step 1: Blueprint

Together, we'll audit your systems, processes, and project management to uncover the hidden operational bottlenecks hamstringing your agency.

Then, we'll build you a custom project management blueprint with the ClickUp hierarchy, integrations, and processes you need to make your agency an incredibly efficient, well-oiled machine.

Step 2: Implementation

Secondly, we'll turn your Blueprint into a ClickUp workspace tailored to your needs, setting you up with an easy-to-use system that skyrockets daily productivity and performance.

After the main system is in place, we'll work with you to turn your entire business into plug-and-play, reusable ClickUp templates that make creating and managing work simple and stress-free.

And finally, we'll train and certify your team to get them thriving and bought in to the new system.

Step 3: Optimize

Lastly, we'll continue to help you leverage the full power of your newly implemented system for reporting, ongoing optimization, and strategic decision-making.

We'll provide advanced reporting, continuous workflow enhancements, automation builds, and custom solutions to further improve team productivity and performance.

Our agency has tried many project management tools over the years, but when we migrated to ClickUp we finally felt like we got it right. But hiring ZenPilot to help us implement it was an even better decision -- easily the best investment we made in our agency's growth. In the year since implementing ClickUp, our business has doubled, and our project management systems and structure have been able to adapt and scale with us

How much does it cost to work with ZenPilot?

We look at the issue of money a little differently.

To briefly answer the question, a full transformation can be $25,000 to $75,000, but most of our clients can get started for as little as $4,000.

However, even if you do have an appropriate budget, we won't move forward if we can't all see a clear path to achieving a 4-10x year one ROI for you.

When you have a conversation with ZenPilot, we'll walk through your situation, your goals, and the best path to achieving the outcomes you want.

Based on that, we will determine if you can get the ROI that would justify using our services.

Booking a call with us is completely FREE, so let's start there and see what we can improve in your business!

How long does the process take?

That depends entirely on your stated goals, but most teams will undergo a complete transformation using our 1-3-5 Formula in 4-6 months and will have recouped their investment in profit margin by 12 months.

Our goal is to provide you with continuous support, ensuring that your operations remain lean, efficient, and ahead of the curve. So while a complete operational transformation can be achieved within 4-6 months, many of our most successful clients choose to extend our partnership beyond two years.

Operational excellence is an ongoing endeavor, and ZenPilot is committed to guiding your agency's growth and evolution every step of the way.

Do you only work with agencies?

Not exactly! We also work with in-house marketing teams (who often see themselves as an "internal agency")—one example is the marketing crew at LegalZoom.

And we work with businesses who do client work that may not necessarily see themselves as agencies, such as accounting firms.

While it's true that our expertise runs deepest in the agency space (and we have a library of 200+ plug-and-play process templates for that specific context), we have lots of advice and specific frameworks to share for any business that wants to put an end to chaotic project management and stop hopping from one PM tool to the next.

Book a free consultation with us and let's find out if we're a fit for you!

Who is ZenPilot's ideal client?

We partner with agencies, internal marketing teams, and professional service firms that desire to improve visibility, reduce internal chaos, and get more clarity.

However, truly achieving gold-standard operations and clarity for all requires time, effort, and the willingness to buy-in, embrace, and love the process. The teams that are successful are the ones that:

  • Desire to reduce internal chaos and give team members more clarity.
  • Desire to be excellent at managing projects to deliver great client results on time and within budget.
  • Desire to improve visibility into team performance, capacity planning, and results.
  • Desire to be more systematic, process-driven, and organized.
  • And have a willingness to pay for expertise and listen to experience. They "want what works."

If you have the desire and motivation to spend the necessary time to eliminate chaos, you're a perfect fit for ZenPilot.

Do we have to use ClickUp?

Technically, no. You can implement the ZenPilot System with whatever tool you currently use. In fact, we wrote a guide on how to choose the best project management tool for your organization. However, in our experience working with hundreds of agencies, ClickUp stands out as the most versatile and easy-to-use tools for agencies and professional service firms.
