How to Repackage Agency By-Products and Leverage Them as Assets for Profit and Fun
Andrew Dymski
I'm a Founder at ZenPilot where I help marketing agencies buy back time by developing the processes and systems they need to scale without reinventing the wheel for every client. I'm co-host of the
Agency Journey podcast where each week we interview an agency owner, consultant, or author.
Most agencies go about their days living on a treadmill. They’re focused on completing the deliverable list for each client, just trying to survive.
What they don’t realize is that they’re leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars in the dust.
You may be thinking:
“You can’t be serious, Andrew. Surely I’d notice hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around the office.”
See, agencies love solving problems. That makes clients very happy (or at least appeased, but that is a topic for another post.)
The problem is they’re more focused on solving problems than they are on building assets.
The root of this problem is a belief that their creative instincts are more valuable than their past experience.
