Episode notes
Scaling An Agency By Price Not Headcount
- Rich Webster shares his agency experience: he scaled by price not headcount, serving fewer high-paying clients.
- He ran RMC for a decade, worked with big orgs, and stacked skills (design + strategy + sales) to charge premiums.
Articulate Your Work As A Story To Sell It
- Improve articulation: craft the story that connects your creative value to the right client's needs.
- Treat articulation as marketing + sales; without it, even high-skill creatives struggle to capture price.
Start Sales By Mapping Wants Versus Needs
- Begin sales by deeply understanding the buyer: surface wants, deeper needs, and how your work meets both.
- Meet clients where they are: sell what they want today so you can deliver what they truly need later.
