  • How to Make A Billion Dollar Ad Budget Work For You
    Companies spend a lot of money to make sure people know who they are.

    The only thing you have to do is tell them what they want to know.

    That's the hard part and only something a valued "objective" third party can do.

    You're that third party, some might even call you an advisor.

    That's a resposability you take very seriously, however there's a good chance your getting serious about way too late.

    The sooner (see earlier) you start the advising process the easier it will be for them to find you.

    That's what I talk to Ed Monson, of Monson Insurance, about as he starts to connect the dots after it happened to him.

    P.S. We don't have a billion dollars for ads, but we do have a billion ways to help your agency.

  • Is the Competition Getting the Best of You?
    You might have no clue just how easy it is to make sure that never happens.

    All you have to be willing to do is say something (anything) about them before they do about you.

    That shouldn't be that hard because it's certainly an idea that 99 percent of businesses are uncomfortable with.

    However, once you realize just how powerful it is and how little you have to say, there's a good chance you accept it.

    That's what I talked to Sean Halpin, of MJH Insurance, about as he tries to iron out the wrinkles in his competition grabbing strategy.

    P.S. The Agency Nation newsletter will help you stay far away from your competition, you should try it.

  • Efficiently Outsourcing Your Way to Growth
    There comes a point in every agency where the things you have to do prevent you from doing what needs to be done.

    It's this disproportionate balance of activities that usually leads to burnout and despair.

    Let's be honest, there's a reason you made it this far in this industry and rarely does it have anything to do with those nagging tasks.

    Now you're faced with the challenge of making sure they get done consistently every month but still leave you time to do what you want.

  • What Happened to the Helpful Advisor They Need?
    It's hard to bring value that rarely has a chance to return.

  • How Many Ideas Can You Drag to the Surface?
    At some point you're going to need to figure out what someone needs to hear from you to get their attention.

    It doesn't matter if you're new to content creation or have been doing it for years, everyone runs out of ideas.

    But that can't slow you down, momentum is the only thing that will bring them back.

    It's even better anytime the idea making is built into the content creation process.

    That makes it so much easier to ensure you'll always have something to talk about when you need it.

  • Who Needs to Make it More Affordable to Get a Client?
    Cost of client acquisition is a big time stat that when you track it, separates your agency from the pack.

    It's also just one of many advanced business and marketing metrics you should consider discovering.

    Because too often agencies get stuck accepting the things that have always been done at face value.

    Those things are rarely restructured and even less frequently reevaluated.

    That's what I talk to Bogus Handzel, of Handzel and Associates, about as he puts everything on the table to figure out the cost.

    P.S. There's a lot of stuff on the table inside Agency Nation University, have you seen it all?

  • When Will Computers Take That Business?
    Most of the time, it's going to be much longer than we think.

    However, that shouldn't stop us from identifying the vulnerabilities a niche or segment of the industry faces.

    That forces you to drill down into a type of business and understand what might make it standout over others.

    If you can figure out what that thing is you'll be able to exploit it's rarity to find more like it and hold off the computers even longer.

    That's what I talked to Ryan Anderson, of Alliance Insurance Group, to see if one of his new accounts might be the key.
