What Dashboards and KPI’s are You Using?

Episode 141 discusses Dashboards and KPI’s with Nick Avaria.

Nick Avaria is the Founder of Agency Acquisitions, a company that helps companies make top quartile profit and employees make top quartile wages.

Nick has spent over a decade as an agency owner, and scaled multiple agencies past multiple 7 and 8-figures per year.  He has bought and sold 7 agencies and is no stranger to merging leadership teams and company cultures. 

His philosophy is simple: Make more profit, re-invest that into training your staff, they perform better, you pay them more (above market preferably), hire top performers to inject new energy into your team, and repeat.

Nick started consulting with other agency owners when he saw how burnt out his peers were while trying to scale and working 60+ hours per week.  He wants them to see their hard work pay off so they can grow fantastic workplaces where clients and employees can thrive, all while spending less time behind their desk.
