What's Top of Mind

  • Ben Bartolone’s Knowledge Share is live.​
    70+ founders signed up for outbound that actually works when you can’t autopilot a system some GTM engineer shared in 12 minutes on YouTube. Ben delivered, and then offered 30 minutes 1:1 with every attendee. Here’s the recording and the full presentation deck.

  • 📅 Next up: Karl Sakas on November 4, 1PM ET.​
    ​Your Agency Still Depends on You. What Should You Change First?You hired a team, but client requests, delivery questions, and everyday decisions still come back to you. So what should you take off your plate first, without everything falling apart? Karl will walk through the six roles you may be filling and which to delegate next. You’ll leave with:
    • Which responsibilities to hand over first, and why the order matters
    • What your team needs from you to take ownership successfully
    • How to change your role without hiring six separate people

Plus a visual guide to deciding what to delegate next.

Who We're Partnering With

​What we’ve learned buying agencies (and why we’re going to Dallas)​

Buying is a growth strategy, and one we’ve been learning through firsthand experience at Barrel Holdings. A few lessons:

  • Know what you’re buying for (capability, client base, or team?)
  • Decide early whether the brand survives
  • Pay for the business as it is today, not what you think you can do with it

We’re heading to M&A Liftoff in Dallas, November 4–6, to keep learning and connect with other agency owners who’ve done this. AgencyHabits readers save 30% with code habits.

Tomorrow’s Knowledge Share is with Ben Bartolone, and here’s what he’s covering: Most outbound fails because it starts with what you want to say, unintentionally ignoring the buyer in the process. Ben flips that. He studies buyer behavior first, captures their language, then builds campaigns that feel like honest recognition instead of a pitch. One example he’ll walk through: a single LinkedIn post that turned into 7 qualified leads, each worth $120K/year. Interested? Join us tomorrow:...

On October 21st, he’ll share real campaigns, actual prospect responses, and a framework for finding the message worth scaling, including how...
