☝️The money is made BEFORE the ad runs.
Every agency owner I’ve ever watched break past $10K/month figured out the same thing… and it had nothing to do with their ads. It was their market selection. Their offer design. Their positioning. Three things. All vetted and structured BEFORE a single dollar hit the ad account. Ogilvy said it better than anyone… “The results of your campaign depend less on how we write your advertising than on how your product is positioned.” (He wrote that in 1982.) So… what the hell does this even mean? Let me show you. Agencies who struggle all build from the outside in. The build a bunch of stuff, but nothing really connects. Which is why your new tactic, the creative hack you got from TikTok, and your offer always flop. More. More. More. Does not mean… Better. Better. Better. If everything about your business feels complex, and you’re constantly overwhelmed by… Well everything! This is you. Your built from the outside in. Don’t worry… I’m here to help! There is one thing that fixes all of this as soon as you see it. And I can prove it to you with a little sound logic. ☝️Those three things… Your market Your offer Your positioning… They’re not separate decisions. They’re all downstream of one thing… a catalyst that fuels demand and drives sales. ☝️A gap in your market. Or what I call, an “Opportunity Gap”. - A real gap does the heavy lifting for you. It defines a specific market (so you stop competing with everyone). - It demands a different offer (so you stop sounding generic). - And it creates natural positioning (so you stop being invisible). If you nail the gap… Everything domino behind it falls with minimal effort. In real life it reminds me of our gal Lisa’s agency. Lisa Weber didn’t scale by running better ads. She scaled when she found a gap. She went into dental… but not “general dentistry.” She zeroed in on dental implants. (Also very crowded, but she found a gap) So instead of running the same exhausted “free consultation” ads every other agency was copy-pasting…

I want you to have a business like this.
This guy was stuck at $500/mo for 2 years. He had the dreaded “me too” offer. Slapping his brand on GHL… Selling to everyone… Leading with features. So here’s what we did. 1) We dialed in one niche… 2) We changed his model… 3) He sold that… And he went to 10k MRR fast. Now he’s at 17k. If you want help getting there too… We build agencies in 4 small weeks, we’re starting next Wednesday. Want to get moving? www.myagencymvp.com Sam

@Nicolas Vass same curriculum… The 4 week program and is virtual only. Agency launch is in person, and we build the agency in 2 days. Make sense?
How to get out of start-up mode
☝️The average agency owner who switches niches every 90 days spends roughly 240 out of 365 days in “ramp-up mode”. Learning a new market. Rebuilding the offer. Reworking the ads. Reworking automations. New clients to learn. New objections to figure out. New everything. And it you do the math… That leaves about 120 days of actual money-making activities… scattered across four separate starts that share nothing with each other. Not a recipe for success. ☝️Now compare that to the agency who picks one niche and sticks with it. (Even if it’s not the perfect one) By month three, he/she is closing sales because they’ve heard every objection the market has, and has the answer. By month six… The case studies start rolling in, and those case studies are closing the next round of sale with less effort. By month nine… $$$ Same talent. Same work ethic. Same hours. (Actually, the hours are a lot less when you’re dialed in) Have I made my case? Good, now I can share something to help you join the winning crowd. I’ve worked with over 400 agency owners… And there is a pattern every successful agency falls into… It’s not the niche. (I’ve seen people build to $30K/month in niches you’d laugh at.) It’s not a fancy funnel software. It’s not the pricing model. Eventually they all sell the same thing: A SYSTEM! Let me explain because a lot of people parrot that phrase and have no idea what they’re talking about. The agencies that win… The ones doing $20K, $30K, $50K/month with a small team or no team at all — they all do the same thing. They don’t sell “marketing services.” They don’t sell “Facebook ads.” They don’t sell their time. They sell, you guessed it… a system. From the client’s perspective, that’s everything. The client doesn’t care about funnel software, ad platforms, or how many hours you put in. They care that you have a system that produces a result they want. A machine they can plug into. That’s what makes your offer sexy. That’s what makes the sale easy.
How to get out of start-up mode
☝️Sell money at a discount and you’ll be loaded…
…Dan Kennedy once said something that rewired my entire pricing strategy. “You’re not in the advertising business. You’re in the money-at-a-discount business.” Come again? What’s that even mean? When a client gives you $2,000 and you can hand them back $10,000… ☝️You just sold them money at an 80% discount. And if you can do that… The secret to how Hormozi, Brunson, and others made big bucks (even with broke audiences) starts to become very clear. So, let me peel this back a bit. Most people think: “My market is broke.” “My market won’t pay premium prices.” Kinda. But you’re operating on incomplete ideas. Your market won’t pay premium prices — for what they currently think you do. That’s true. Cuz it sucks. When you show up like this: 😏“I run Facebook ads,” yada yada. You sound like every other agency. You’ve commoditized yourself. ☝️But… When you show up saying “I install a client acquisition system that generates 47 qualified calls per month”. Now you’re selling an outcome. Do it right, and the prospect doesn’t compare you to other agencies anymore. They compare the money they’d give to you against the revenue they’ll lose without you. See the difference? Kennedy, Mozi, Brunson… All built their entire careers on this. They’d never sell “marketing consulting.” They all sold “the most expensive, least comfortable, highest-ROI advisor you’ll ever hire.” And people lined up. (Not despite the price. Because of it.) Your price resistance isn’t a market condition. It’s a positioning symptom. Fix the positioning. The price takes care of itself. Wanna learn how to do this? www.myagencymvp.com Your Move. Sam P.S. Unlike Mozi, Brunson, and Kennedy… the path to doing this in the agency game is a lot easier because 97% are making “me too” offers. It’s easy when you know how.

There's a secret to making money online...
Obvious Statement: Making money online is hard when you look exactly like everyone else. Yet 99% of agencies have what's called a "me too" offer. But if you know how to POSITION your offer... that's when making money online gets a lot easier. Let's walk through this. First and foremost... If making money came down funnels, a scripts, or blasting 5,000 cold DMs a day... Nobody would call the people teaching that stuff "gurus." They'd call them saviors. But they don't. Because it doesn't work that way. When thousands of agencies flood the market with the same offers, same funnels, same scripts... you're going to struggle. FULL STOP. The problem is thinking the funnel or the script IS the way. It's not. It's just a vehicle. Obsessing over your funnel without fixing your positioning is like playing poker without looking at your cards. You're technically in the game... But not really playing. So what IS the way? What gets attention? What brings the money? It's all found in what I call "The Opportunity Gap." Inside every niche, there's a gap between what the market needs and what everyone else is offering. When you find that gap... you find your easy button. Literally. Your ads crush. Your funnels book calls on demand. Your sales conversations feel easy. Your offer becomes the obvious choice. And that's when the money becomes easy. Yes. Easy. Think about it... Walk into a market with the same offer as everyone else and you're a commodity. You compete on price. You race to the bottom. Walk into that same market with a solution to a problem nobody else is addressing... and you're not competing at all. You're the only option. ...That's what the Opportunity Gap Method does. It doesn't make you a better salesperson. It kinda makes the sale unnecessary. Hence why I say... "easy". Wanna find your opportunity gap? www.myagencymvp.com Your Move. Sam P.S. Every time I teach this and an agency owner actually gets it... the transformation is almost immediate. That's not hype. That's just what happens when you stop competing and start being the only option.
