We are doing something a little different for this episode of Sell With Authority by sharing my full length interview from an episode of the Build a Better Agency Podcast with Drew McLellan. Drew is the owner of McLellan Marketing Group and the owner and leader of the Agency Management Institute.
In episode 354 of the Build a Better Agency Podcast, we have an important conversation about finding right-fit clients by going narrow and niching down – and how pivoting that niche can lead to fears of stepping into scarcity, instead of abundance. We talk through how pivoting agency niche can actually help improve sales and build community.
What you will learn about in this episode:
- Why choosing your agency niche doesn’t have to be a permanent decision
- Why sometimes throwing out the playbook and pivoting in a different direction is a better move for your agency, even if it doesn’t seem that way at first
- How to know which types of clients you’re already serving the best (this could be your new niche)
- What is cornerstone content, and why is it so important to establish?
- The importance of building a community of people wanting to learn from you and others to make more effortless sales
- You have permission to think differently about your agency and how you want to position it in your industry
