Cheers, to happy clients!

We, agency owners, take everything personally. It's okay to want to hand over the day-to-day to someone else. I mean, how awesome would it be to have someone fully dedicated to your clients!?

On the other side of the coin, we also get it. How are you supposed to just hand the reins over to someone who didn't develop and nurture this client relationship from Day 1?

We know where you're coming from. And if we haven't met yet: Hi, I'm Taylor! 👋 I used to run an advertising agency myself and now focus solely on my favourite part of it all: creating a premium client experience and nurturing long-lasting happy clients.

Tune into this episode of the Happy Clients Podcast where we talk you through how to let go of control in the client world, and also that it's totally okay to have those days where you don't want to work with your clients. Lucky for you, we always want to work with your clients! The DOT & Company team is hungry to take on more agency partners and free you up from all the personal stuff.

While some relationships will take time (we never rush the process), the end result is always worth it: happy clients coming back for more + the satisfaction on our team of knowing we are helping growing agencies to scale.

On this week's episode of the Happy Clients Podcast, we wanted to give our listeners an inside look into DOT’s Facebook™️ Ads Lab For CAMs. This course is essentially an easy-to-digest run-through of Facebook Ads & what key insights clients need when you are reporting to them on ad campaigns. We developed this training with Client Account Managers in mind, who don’t necessarily need to know the nitty-gritty of the campaign builds, but more so how the KPIs are looking when it comes time to touch base with clients.

Emma, Training Manager & Expert CAM, also developed must-know hacks for onboarding clients in a Facebook advertising agency, as this process is never a one-size-fits-all. Have tricky clients who don’t know much about the platform? Don’t fret— Emma’s guru workflows and templates can be directly accessed in this training to implement into your agency today. Say hello to streamlining and happy clients (and CAMs!).

Head on over to www.dotandcompany.co/courses to check out our Facebook™️ Ads Lab For CAMs.

On this week's episode of the Happy Clients Podcast, we dive into talking about what it means to be a values-oriented business. Matt Jones, CEO of SHED Social, shares his personal take on working with teammates (or clients!) that see eye-to-eye with you and are just genuinely driven to get the job done.

We can all take a little inspo from Matt’s ethos when hiring:

“Our ethos has always been to prove that you can be successful by treating people like decent human beings and while connecting on values. Treat people how you would expect to be treated, be fair, and treat your hires as adults. Give people enough space to grow and develop and do the job as you would hope them to do it.”

There’s so much to be said about how businesses bring respect, authenticity, accountability, and honesty to their teams. And Matt (and his wonderful wife Kate!) have done an outstanding job of holding true to their words and bringing light to all those who work with them. 

We mean it, we love working with this team!

Cheers, to happy clients.
