The #1 Problem Holding Inbound Agencies Back

You can learn a lot of lessons when you’re building an inbound agency. GuavaBox was growing as a business, and we were able to feel the following: a major pain. When we started DoInbound, we found that we weren’t alone. Inbound This pain was felt by agency owners all over the globe.

The #1 Problem Inbound agencies for growth

After a Client signs a contract, there is no clear plan for moving forward.

Typically things go like this….

• Spend a Marketing takes a lot of time.
• Start to talk to a lead.
• Conversation extends across borders a Few calls.
• You’re trying to sell both the idea of inbound and your agency.
• They demand a Send a proposal a contract.
• They say “Yes” (cue the fireworks!)

This is where most people fall. This is the moment most people slip. Let me tell you what happened.

It was our first inbound retainer. 

Gray, Brandon, Brandon, Gray, and I had spent months studying the inbound method. We were shifting our agency from a Project-To locate a shop in a location a Keeper-Business that is based in the United States

The client was a Legacy client. We had previously done video work for them and knew that they would benefit from inbound marketing. They were a High quality manufacturer-Abrasion steel. They lined the beds of dump trucks and buckets in gold and coal mines with their steel.

We were thrilled when they agreed to our inbound agreement! It was amazing! a Mile-High experience

It wasn’t until a A few weeks later, I realized just how much of it all. a We were in a terrible situation.

We had no system in place. We had no internal processes. We weren’t strategic about who we were talking to in the organization.

Marketing was our first love, so we began blogging. Blogging.

You’re supposed to have a CTA at each end of every post What type of content should we use? We should have a corporate brochure that works until we find the VP to help us create an ebook.

The blog was strong when it started. a few weeks, then things started to slow down as our momentum and content ideas faded. It didn’t take us long to realize that without a Detail plan from the beginning. Inbound was a hard battle.

Gray and I learned a lot from those early retainers a valuable lesson.
