**Cold Open (Cody is jealous of Jake's electric razor)**

**Skip the Cold Open at 7:40**

On this episode, we talk about common mistakes agency owners make when they choose to flex but can't back it up.

It's incredibly easy for us to tell who is and isn't a legitimate agency owner by only having a short conversation. Furthermore, it's easy for your prospective clients to tell if you're not being truthful.

Be honest about who you are, how big you are, and how many clients you have. This has actually gotten us more sales than pretending to be bigger than we are.
