This Week's Agency Insights

Every week, we share content to help you run your agency business:

• ​Designing Agency Services with Intention - Smart service design means pricing for profit, not ego. Meet clients where they are and deliver value without breaking your margins.
  ​
• ​Should You Entertain That Acquisition Offer? - Instructive 2Bobs podcast on why you may want to entertain convos to buy your agency. Btw, Barrel Holdings is always looking to acquire–check out the types of agencies we're looking for.​
  ​
• At one of our agencies, we were paying a lot for software (HubSpot, Notion, JIRA, Basecamp, etc.) but things still felt so manual and cumbersome. We saw frequent data entry errors as team members copied and pasted from one app to another.
  ​
  We enlisted Grantbot to conduct an audit and they came back with some really smart workflow automation solutions that helped us streamline processes & get more out of our software.
  ​
  Grantbot is a workflow automation agency that helps agencies scale without increasing headcount. They uncover what can be automated in an agency through workflow assessments. They then build simple, scalable solutions that multiply the team.
  ​
  Whether you are trying to increase revenue per employee or focus on letting creatives stay creative, Grantbot removes copy and paste in HubSpot, ClickUp, and the quickly evolving automation and AI landscape.
