The Most Underrated Asset in Your Agency

Most agencies treat their list like an afterthought.

But one thing the $160M/year director drilled into me was this:

“Your list is an asset — treat it like one.”

Think about it...

You spend thousands getting leads through ads, outreach, and content.

But once they’re in your world?

Most agencies either:

❌ Do nothing

❌ Spam promos

❌ Or completely ignore people who didn’t convert immediately

Meanwhile, your list is just sitting there — full of warm, high-intent leads and past clients — gathering dust.

Here’s how the best agencies we work with are now treating their list:

📩 Running monthly nurture campaigns

🎁 Sending segmented value-based offers

📊 Tracking list engagement KPIs (open %, click %, replies)🛠️ Building reactivation flows for old clients/leads

💬 Starting conversations, not just sending offers

This turns a cold list into a pipeline. And it gives your agency a buffer — during quiet months, you’ve got an audience you can turn back on.

When someone’s looking to acquire or invest in your agency, guess what they look at?

👉 Your list.

If you’ve got 10,000+ warm contacts with a strong engagement history — you’re no longer just a service provider. You’re a distribution channel.

This is one of those “quiet power moves” that most people don’t talk about but makes a massive difference over time.

PS - this ties very nicely into the 'terminal' post I created last week - check it out if you haven't already
