When most people start an agency, they will go for the local business, basically whatever business they can think of, restaurants, whatever’s around their street. What I found is local businesses have low budgets, and they’re hard to work with, but they are very easy to sell to.

 

Alex Berman:

Because what I found is if you could find that overlap, like I’m not looking for dying industries, I’m not looking for anything like that, because I’ve found if you can find that overlap, you’re basically good to go. It’s the easiest sale and they make you the most money. Because what happens once you start pushing past 200, 300 million in revenue is you start getting bureaucracy and you start losing a lot of that competence.

I wanted to talk about how we can find our golden goose buyers, and you corrected me saying that, “Will, there’s not just one golden goose buyer. There’s golden geese to go at.” So with that, give the audience here a bit of clarity, Alex. What does it mean to have a golden geese buyer, and what do they mean in the marketplace, and why do we want to go after them?

Sure. So a little about my background, I mainly specialise in growing services businesses, so B2B agencies. This is where I’m mainly coming from here.
