Alright — I just dropped a 14-min impromptu video and it’s one of those “this only lands because it actually happened” updates. And one I learned from but did NOT enjoy at all experiencing. Here’s the backstory: Last week I got leveled. Slept 36 hours straight. Could barely talk. Chest cough. Whole thing. And it exposed something most agencies don’t want to admit: If you get sick for 3 days and your business wobbles… You don’t own a business. You own a job with a nicer logo. So I pulled the biggest takeaways from Agency Freedom Live + what the sickness revealed inside our own ops. The 7 non-negotiables (the real list) -->Founder independence / leadership depth - If everything routes through you, you’re the bottleneck and the risk. -->Predictable, systemized revenue - No more guessing rent, payroll, or “where’s the next deal coming from?” -->Productized, transferable core offer You’re not an agency. You’re a system owner. If delivery depends on specific humans, you’re fragile. -->Verticalization + ICP precision If your ICP is fuzzy, everything breaks downstream. And yeah… sometimes “bad clients” is actually an ICP failure, not delivery. -->Financial clarity + forecasting End of year isn’t reflection season. It’s planning season for 2026. -->KPIs + ROI decisions Stop running the business on gut feel. Know your open rates, conversion rates, booking rates, ROI per channel. -->Authority assets that match your price point Info is free. Execution + proof costs money — and it’s what gets you paid. We’re building real case studies (not janky screenshot collages) tied to outcomes. The thread that ties it all together: AAA This is the framework we’re using internally — and what we’re turning into something I call LoudAF. AAA = Awareness → Authority → Action Because most agencies never market themselves. They sit in “delivery mode” and wonder why growth feels like a rollercoaster. AAA fixes that. And we’re breaking it down live on the call: Thursday, Dec 18 @ 1pm ET / 10am PT

What’s up everybody — Happy Tuesday.Herschy here. Quick video for you because I’m staring at my calendar, prepping for Day 2 of ASK Live… and something hit me hard this morning. If you were in ASK Live yesterday, you already know: We didn’t just “teach.”We rewired how you operate your entire business. Operator > dabbler. Precision > chaos. Revenue > busywork. And today? We go even deeper in just a couple hours. But before we do, I need to show you something important. 💳 ACTION ITEM: I’m posting my last 30-day Stripe revenue + FU Money screenshot Because if you're new here — if you’ve never purchased from me, never been inside my ecosystem — I want you to see exactly what’s real. This group is no fluff, no BS, no “fake guru math.” We sell SaaS. We sell courses. We run a real agency. And the numbers back it up. I’m dropping the revenue screenshot and FU-money follow-up screenshot in this post so you can see it for yourself. Not to flex. But to show you the standard. 💥 The Pain That Almost Slowed My Business Down My calendar stays stacked: demos → audits → strategy calls → trainings → onboarding. Back-to-back-to-back. And this year…that load punched a hole in my follow-up game. You already know the rule: FU money lives in the follow-up. Your close rate lives in the follow-up. Your revenue lives in the follow-up. Mine dropped — not because my offer was off…but because I simply didn’t have the time to send high-quality follow-ups after every call. Until one tool flipped it all. ⚡ The One-Pager Tool That Saved My Agency You’ve heard me talk about it yesterday…IF you were on the ASK LIVE calls. But here’s the truth: This little tool saved me HOURS every single day and put revenue back on track. Instead of wasting 20–30 minutes writing a meeting recap…I hit a button. I get: - A full summary - Action items - Follow-up steps - Optional tone variations - A clean, professional recap - And a CTA that makes me look like I run a $10M shop All in seconds.Not hours.

I literally just got off a call with the client I told you about last week — and this call changed the direction of my agency for the next 6–24 months. Let me explain… The response to Friday’s Skool post was absolutely wild. Incase you missed that - https://www.skool.com/reviewlyai/250k-weekend-prep-watch-this-before-monday?p=88e050e6 So many of you commented, DM’d, and messaged me saying the same thing: “Clients are confused.” “Deal flow is inconsistent.” “SEO is impossible to explain.” “Prospects look at me like I’m speaking another language.” So today, I want to tell you the part of the story I did NOT share last time — and it’s the real reason this entire “accidental agency reboot” even happened. 🔥 It All Started With a Panicked Friend — Back in April Late-night call. Friend calling on behalf of his boss. Their business was bleeding out because a big-box agency had wrecked EVERYTHING. New website? Pretty… but useless. Organic traffic? Gone. Paid ads? Deep in the negative — tens of thousands per month. Leads? Dead. They were literally pulling money from investments to survive. And here’s the wild part: They had no idea why this was happening. They weren’t losing money because of “SEO.” They were losing money because they couldn’t see and understand what was happening. No clarity. No real data. No straightforward explanation. Just charts… reports… and excuses. They didn’t want “SEO.” They wanted the bleeding to stop. 🔥 The Clarity Moment That Changed Everything When I got on that first call, I realized instantly: - They didn’t trust the agency - They didn’t trust the data - They didn’t trust the strategy - They didn’t trust ANYONE So I did the opposite of pitching. I pulled back the curtain. Step-by-step: - I showed them what went wrong - I showed them the roadmap - I showed them actual before-and-after numbers - I explained the truth clearly - And everything clicked for them

Happy Friday — Herschy here. While ripping my office apart today (full studio upgrade incoming), something crazy happened in the background… 👉 My new SEO Agency — launched barely 6 months ago — crossed $250,000 collected TODAY!! 👉 On track for $540K this year. 👉 RECEIPTS ATTACHED - NO BS HERE! 👉 Closed another AI SEO/GEO/Branding/Reddit deal earlier this week. 👉 And I just sold a $15K package with a 6‑month minimum ($90K). Here’s the wild part: Fulfillment is almost zero because of the AI-powered system I’m using. None of this was planned. But the timing couldn’t be better — because next week, I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you the exact process I’m using to close high‑value SEO + AI SEO + GEO deals. Why This Matters For You Last night, I got pulled into an agency meetup in La Jolla and was surprised to be the guest speaker on AI and how to accelerate your Agency with it. Everyone kept asking the same thing: “How are you closing these deals?” “How are you using AI to replace yourself?” “Why do business owners trust you so fast?” The short answer? I’ve built a trust‑engine using AI that creates instant authority, breaks resistance, and gets business owners to connect the dots fast. Next week, I’m showing you exactly how it works.
