Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies

Are your team within your agency losing far too much time in email communications both internally and with clients?

In this episode, we'll cover:

• Gaining control of your clogged and cluttered email inbox.
• A system that sorts, organizes and stores emails in a way that makes sense.
• How to save time so you can get busy making money.

Today's guest is digital agency owner Ian Garlic who owns Authentic Web, a video production and distribution agency and host of the podcast, TAO of Inbound. He shares with us a solution for sorting and organizing internal communication.

Buried by emails?

As his agency grew, Ian was having a problem with his email inbox getting clogged. He was cc'd on everything but wasn't necessarily involved in the details of every project. So, when Ian needed to jump in on something he was digging through emails trying to get a macro picture of what what going on by having to weed through all the micro details in old emails.

The solution Ian discovered is Slack - a communication tool for tracking, sorting and archiving team communication. (The opinions expressed in this interview are our own. Neither Ian or I are affiliates of Slack.)

Eliminate the time suck of email

Benefits to Slack:

• Create different channels for sorting and organizing information (client or topic specific). Do you dig through emails looking for information only to realize it's buried in with something completely unrelated? Slack eliminates this problem by sorting things in the channels your create.
• Tag people when their attention is required. Do you skim (or skip) over emails where you're cc'd only to realize that your input was needed but you were only half-listening? Slack will keep you and your team in the loop but individuals can be tagged and notified with their attention is needed.

• Automatically sequences information in chronological order. Ever scroll through an chain of emails trying to determine which parts of the conversation came before others? Who said what and what? Try as it might, Gmail and others can't always keep it all straight for us. Slack puts communication in chronological order and archives the old stuff for you.

• Cool integrations with PM software and GoogleDocs. No more switching between email communication and your other agency tools. It's all in one place on Slack.

Getting started with Slack Slack is free to use but there are of course a variety of upgraded paid levels (information located on the Slack website). Ian says it's fairly easy to set-up but like anything else, there's a learning curve involved. You'll change and tweak the way you create your channels and hashtags as you learn what works best for your team. 3 steps to setting up:

1. Create your teams and invite members.
2. Create your channels. (Authentic Web has channels for: weekly meetings, KPI's, each client, miscellaneous and one for office humor.)
3. Download the mobile/tablet apps so you can use Slack without going through a web browser.

PRO TIP: Ian is pretty active on Instagram. He uploads images and stores them in Slack where he can grab them at anytime and post to Instagram right from his phone. Use Slack like a server-on-the-go.

Struggle to find the work-life balance for you and your agency? As an agency owner, it's so easy to become a prisoner within your business as you strive to make it the best digital agency out there.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• How to build your agency around your life, to find a work-life balance instead of being a prisoner.
• 3 ways to build your agency around your personality.
• How to brand your agency and be the leader in your category.

Today's podcast guest is Re Perez, founder of Branding For The People, a branding agency for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Re has worked for some pretty huge agencies working on some major Fortune 500 clients. He talks to us about leaving all that behind in order to build an agency around his personality and lifestyle finding the best work-life balance.

Re had a pretty interesting journey that led him to starting his agency. His highly successful career took him from New York to Dubai and back to New York. Yet despite a successful career he wasn't fulfilled with the work he was doing. He says that feeling coupled with a negative personal experience left him deeply questioning his next steps in life.

He took 6 months off to travel, meditate, practice yoga and figure out what was next… In his travels, he learned about a yoga studio called "Yoga For The People" and later a restaurant, "Food For The People". Coincidence or fate?? :) Re took these signs, coupled with his gut instinct to become an entrepreneur, and started his agency Branding For The People - an agency that brings Fortune 500 branding solutions to small businesses.

Branding Your Agency

Re says logos and slogans do not make a brand. Those things support a brand but are only marketing tools for identifying a brand.

Branding is a desired perception. In order to create a desired perception you must first have a desirable perception of yourself.

As a small business, if you want to be perceived as the leader in your category you have to behave like the leader in your category by:

• Practice what you preach. Agency owners are famous for giving great advice to clients and NOT following it themselves. Start taking your own best advice!
• Be genuine. People can smell BS a mile away and they will call you out on it. Be who you are and be willing to let go of clients who aren't OK with the real you.
• Don't "act" like the big agencies by copying their behavior. Find your own unique position, while still behaving like a big agency.
• Don't force a square peg in a round hole. Always align yourself with the projects and brands that excite you. Allow agency's brand to be determined by your own core values.

Work-Life Balance: How To Build Your Agency Around Your Lifestyle

Re has one key motivator which determined how he would structure his business while staying true to himself: He didn't want a traditional office job. Meaning, he didn't want to work for anyone else or spend a bunch of time in board rooms. He wants to travel and connect with people outside of the office walls. He is very clear on his goals and values. Are you?

3 Ways to Build Your Agency Around Your Personality

1. Change the terminology. Re doesn't refer to them as "clients" or "projects", they are "relationships" or "engagements". He's a people person and treats each opportunity with care. A change in terminology also changes the perceived value of the experience. Check out my previous post about how changing terminology can even help you increase your prices! {BONUS!}
2. Be self aware. Know how you are (and who you aren't). You can't get real clarity on leading your business until you know who you are... Ask yourself: "Is this agency fulfilling?" or "Does the work I'm doing really matter to me?" and "Does my agency support my desired lifestyle?" If not - you can take a sabbatical like Re, or find another way to quiet the noise and distractions that are standing in your way. Here are the 4 common things that could be standing in the way of your clarity.
3. Don't make decisions based on money. We all take on clients or projects because we need the money. And, you have to have some bad experiences so you know what you don't want to do. But at some point you also have to realize though that not every person with a credit card was meant to be your client. Instead, think and act like a millionaire, even if you're not… yet.

Best advice: Be true to yourself and let the rest unfold.

Building Your Authority

Finding a work-life balance for you as an agency owner will not only benefit your agency but your team as you are establishing a healthy work relationship. But in order to build authority as a business owner and your digital agency, you need to be able to recognise other issues within your agency that needs your attention. No matter what challenge your agency is facing, I can help you get through all of it.

There are many topics I can offer guidance from what the different phases of growth of your business will look like to how working with freelancers can benefit your team.

Growing your agency can be a major struggle for any agency owner and I can show from knowing when it's time to hire a sales manager or expand your sales team, creating a process for performance based pricing which can be the best pricing strategy for your business and learning how to keep your big name clients happy.

If you are looking for technology secrets for your agency to impress your clients, then today's episode is just for you.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• 3 technology secrets that will WOW your clients.
• A Facebook development that every business should be using.
• The hottest trend in live streaming video.
• The #1 easiest hack to boost your Google ranking.

On this episode of The Smart Agency Master Class, we'll hear from Ryan Steinolfson with some advice that can boost your business and totally impress your clients when you bring these growth solutions to the table.

Ryan's agency, Accelerate Marketing, specializes in social proof and live streaming video for it's clients. He says live streaming is a lot more complex than it appears and his agency helps their clients with it in three ways:

1. Live streaming on the client's behalf.
2. Teaching client teams to live stream, or with their course Live Stream Blueprint.
3. Developing "Advocacy Days", which are live stream events among multiple strategic partners that are connected using a common hashtag.

According to the 2016 Future Outlook of Digital Agencies, we know brands hire agencies to be their technology leaders. They expect their agency to bring them emerging trends that will build business. I've been saying it for months now, Live Streaming is H-O-T and your clients need strategies for using it to their benefit.

Here's more about live streaming video from a previous podcast guest, Kim Garst, founder of Boom Social.

Here are 3 major technology secrets that will WOW your clients! 1. Facebook Live can now be used for any business page.

As of a few weeks ago (from original post date April 2016), Facebook Live can be used on any business or public profile page. They just flipped a switch and made it available - and this is HUGE NEWS!

Using Facebook Live, you can:

• Stream live video using the Facebook app from your iPhone or Android device.
• Add call to action text over your live stream
• Boost your videos by add keywords optimization
• Embed or repurpose your videos.
• Have your followers subscribe to get notified when you're broadcasting.
• Allow your followers to comment in real-time, share and embed your video.

(Be sure to "like" my page and check out my Facebook Live videos now!)

And Ryan has learned that right now, Facebook is giving preferential treatment to people/businesses who are using the Facebook Live feature. So live streaming videos are jumping to the top of news feeds (for now)... that means more opportunities and more reach.

2. The next big thing in live streaming video is 360

After Meerkat and Periscope introduced this technology, we've seen both Facebook and YouTube jump on board. YouTube allows you to give access to others to live stream on your channel and drop a graphics card into your live video. Which is super cool.

But the next BIG thing in live streaming is 360° videos. Ryan says he's got his eye on Livit - an app for live streaming in 360°. It integrates with 360° cams for one of the coolest end-user experiences he's ever seen.

3. The BEST trick for moving up in Google rankings

We know social proof (or social influence) carries huge weight in purchase decisions. Did you know that you can help your clients generate leads and crush it just by getting more reviews?!

According to Ryan, 15% of your Google ranking is based on your social proof. So more positive reviews, means a high ranking. His agency has even seen movement from a D-position to A-position just from getting 10 or 15 reviews. This is a powerful tool that you and your clients are probably not taking advantage of, but should be!

What You Need to Know When Starting an Agency

When starting an agency, it can be intimidating from building the best team to creating your portfolio of clients to make your business profit. But as the agency grows, you may find yourself outgrowing clients that you had when you initially started and needing to consider growing your team or outsourcing content for different projects.

On this episode of #AskSwenk, we'll cover: what to do when your agency has outgrown a client, all about starting an agency (like when and how), and whether you should outsource your content writing.

(0:21) Jojo asked: "My question is, how far do we need to go for these clients before it is time to think about politely passing them off to a more suitable freelancer or smaller agency? I appreciate that they were part of our business growth up to this point, but some of these clients are "loss-making" for us and get in the way of other work."

(2:46) Nancy asked: "What will I be ready to start an agency? Should I start one now and leave my job?"

(5:25) Enoch asked: "Do you think outsourcing content makes you more productive?"

Are you considering hiring freelancers but don't know the best way to successfully manage remote teams for your digital agency?

In this episode, we'll cover:

• Creative ways to find top talent.
• Freelancer onboarding… or not?
• Managing freelance and remote teams.

Today's guest is the co-founder of Hubstaff, a technology solution for managing a remote staff with everything from time tracking and progress monitoring to payables and financials. Dave Nevogt shares with us some great tips on sourcing, hiring and managing freelancers.

Out-of-the-box talent searching ideas:

Often times agency owners don't know where to look for the right candidates. Most end up relying on referrals or freelance marketplaces. Very few agencies experiment with other sources, such as:

• Check out LinkedIn or AngelList. Create a LinkedIn search filtered by your criteria. You never know who's looking, who might be employed but unhappy. Reach out in a personalized private message and include a link to the job description. If they're interested, they'll reply.
• Use your website to continuously recruit. You should always be scouting for good talent, whether your need extra help or not. Advertise "now hiring" on your website. This portray growth and attracts talent. Post job descriptions, too.
• Run targeted Facebook ads to enlist talent from a specific source, such as a specific company, geographic location, etc.

How to handle freelancer onboarding

Hubstaff has a small team stretched around the globe. Here's how Dave onboards (... or rather, how he doesn't onboard) new team members:

• Have a candid conversation about the position and the potential growth. You might see the potential for full-time but don't start out that way. Get settled in first and see if the person is the right fit. (Note: the U.S. IRS frowns on full-time freelancers. Check out this interview "How to Avoid an Audit" with an agency-focused tax accountant.)
• Don't fully onboard immediately. Start slow and make sure it's going to work on a surface level first before you using time and resources to train.
• Spend the first 30-days testing the waters. Learn each other's personalities traits and work ethic. Get a feel for the freelancer's effort and response time.
• Start slow with lots of involvement by the manager. But remember, there's a fine line between "involved" and "micromanaging."
• Communicate a ton and understand their workload. Make sure requests are filtered through you for now.

Managing freelance and remote teams

How can you ever be totally sure a contractor is working on the project you're paying for and not watching cat videos online? Truth is, you can't. What you can do is have an upfront conversation about expectations and your vision for the position.

Tips for managing freelancers:

• Use a collaboration software such as Trello or Slack. This gets everyone OUT of their INBOX. It also allows the manager to see what everyone is working on and upholds a culture built on transparency.
• Hold live, weekly status meetings to see who's working on what. Even with PM software, private messages and direct requests can hijack a freelancer's time without your knowledge.
• Communicate goals and priorities. Know what your team is working on and keep it minimal (like, 5 things instead of 25). Often, when someone is overwhelmed they'll just shut down.
• Use a tool like Hubstaff for tracking progress on projects, budgeting, time tracking and random screenshotting in real-time.

Working with freelancers or a remote team can be SUPER beneficial to both parties. It works for me, it's working for Dave at Hubstaff and it's been working for another agency owner I interviewed who has a $3 Million Agency With No Employees.

Top 5 Business Growth Tips on How to Scale Your Agency

Are you struggling on scaling your agency and just can't find the best business growth tips that fit your business model?

In this episode, we'll cover:

• Top 5 business growth tips to grow and scale your digital agency.
• How to juggle and manage multiple businesses.

If you're looking for a 7 or 8 figure entrepreneur to model, this guy might be it…

Syed Balkhi is the owner of several multi-million dollar online business and he's crushing it. Syed's trifecta of online startups includes: WPBeginner (the largest free Wordpress resource), OptinMonster (lead generation software, and List25 (entertainment site) -- all of which are hitting 7+ figures and combined, serve over 400 million visitors! He's also a former agency owner and a stakeholder in several other businesses.

In this episode, Syed shares his best advice for getting your business to the next level. He's got a ton of great tips for growing and scaling.

Top 5 ways to grow and scale

#5 - Answer everybody's questions. Syed says he spent very little on marketing his startups. Instead he would run hashtag searches on Twitter and respond to every tweet that had anything to do with a particular topic (in his case, Wordpress). Don't reply with a hardsell. Reply with a helpful tip or solution.

#4 - Identify and solve one problem at a time. We're entrepreneurs. It's easy to get distracted by all those fantastic ideas that pop into our heads. Syed says a key factor in his success was concentrating on one idea at a time.

#3 - Use a lead magnet. You'll have far better success with an opt-in that offers a payoff in the form of a useful checklist or tool. People are always hesitant to opt-in for fear of spammy junk mail. Bribery works so much better :)

#2 - Follow-up is paramount. Once you capture contact info use it to establish trust and gain authority. Don't just send your monthly e-newsletter, which is all you. Provide goodwill content by offering resources and valuable information that helps them.

#1 - The BEST advice to grow and scale: Find the right combination of content marketing and marketing automation. Build a system that establishes the "know-like-trust" factor with content and useful tools. Test and tweak often.

How to succeed at multiple businesses

The key is F.O.C.U.S. - Finish One Commitment Until Success. Syed says your agency should have to be focused on the strengths of your business. Identify a problem your prospects experience and then solve that problem differently and better than anyone else.

Sometimes agency owners see a common problem their clients' experience and want to develop a product solution. Resist the urge. FOCUS. If you do decide to venture into developing a product, make sure it is a separate entity with a dedicated team. Don't overlap your resources between your service business and your product business. You can't excel at both simultaneously, so one will always suffer. In the end, neither business will flourish.

In terms of juggling it all… Syed says he doesn't. He is in regular communication with team leaders that manage each of his businesses. He and his teams use tools like Slack and Basecamp to stay looped in. Syed's role now is mainly marketing, support and coaching his team. In fact, he's so far removed from daily operations, he doesn't even have coding access anymore (and he's OK with it!) :)
