Agency Model Determines Your Money
Letās say you got an agency. New agency⦠Existing⦠Doesnāt matter. You decide to āgo SaaS.ā Cool. You set up the software. Make a logo. In your mind, you think⦠āThis is scalable.ā And then you go out trying to sell it⦠ā¦to everyone. Plumbers. Dentists. Realtors. Gym owners. Maybe even a guy selling candles from his van. (Itās a legit opportunity guys) You charge $97 a month. And you get, what⦠ten clients? Thatās $970 in MRR. (And $40 in profit after refunds, churn, and therapy.) Oops! Immediately you realize a couple things: 1. You are on the āget new clients or dieā hamster wheel. 2. You built the $1 model. Congrats. Youāre in the bottom left box. ā Now, letās say you wise up. You find a niche. Maybe Realtors. (Geez people love Realtors⦠boring!) Anyway. You build them some automations, add a funnel, toss in some ad templates. Charge $297/mo. And land 50 clients. Cool. Thatās $14,850/mo. Better. But itās fragile. Youāre still the tech guy/gal. Youāre stuck managing logins, calendars, and Karenās āurgentā email about lead quality. Thatās the $15 box. Some traction. Not much leverage. ā Now⦠Letās talk about the other side of the quadrant. You take that same SaaS base⦠But instead of being a āsoftware provider,ā you become a marketing partner. You run proven campaigns. Clients donāt buy āsoftware.ā They buy outcomes. You charge $1,000ā$1,500/mo. Get 15 clients. Boom. $15Kā$22K MRR. Less chaos. More margin. Simpler delivery. Thatās the $1M box. The Ad Franchise Model. ā Now⦠imagine you nail a gap niche. Something available in every niche. Now⦠Is that challenging? Ya damn right! Unless you know the formula. š But when you nail that gap⦠Itās really cool because⦠Your ads⦠Your automations⦠And your systems create predictable wins. Man itās fun! And not to mention⦠Other agencies canāt even copy you. (The can try but you know the gap, they donāt) And if you wanna go to the moon like:
