Why me?
I am passionate about building high-functioning, enjoyable places to work, and I have the results to prove it: from $0 to $4M ARR, 24% average margin, 86% employee satisfaction rate and a 7-figure exit that set me up for life. That’s over 15 years, until I sold my firm and started a practice as an agency consultant.
Look: I know what you’re feeling right now better than anyone. I understand your challenges and have solved many of them already, and I can guide you from survive to thrive.
Typically, I partner with agency owners & leaders facing tech, finance, scale, and/or work-life balance challenges, working to help implement systems to solve those pains in a data-forward, measurable fashion. And the big one? I do it way faster than figuring it out yourself. Trust me, I did it that way and it is painful, costly, and generally not a whole lot of fun.
Agency Consultant Services
Whatever challenge you’re facing, chances are I’ve been there too. As a former agency owner myself, I know how to get to action and results quickly, offering solutions rooted in data and outcomes that you can track.
Sales & Marketing
Boost lead generation, revenue, and sales efficiency. Effective sales & marketing starts with effective positioning alongside a feasible marketing strategy. This leads to the implementation of a sales system that’s mature, measurable, and fast.
Operations
Your operations and or service delivery are the backbone of your business. Whether it’s measuring performance, advising on tech, empowering leaders, improving efficiency, or hiring and retaining staff, I help you build systems that keep your clients and team happy while increasing profitability.
Finance
Financial clarity is key to peace of mind. I help you understand actionable finance, establish simple financial benchmarks, monitor profitability, and improve cash flow, so you can focus on growing your business without the sleepless nights.
Long-term Strategy
As the saying goes: if you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? My simple strategic plan defines long-term goals, then works backwards in order to align them with quarterly goals and, importantly, how you’ll hit them. Plow through those, and you’re golden.
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Exiting
Whether you’re exploring a merger, acquisition, or planning your exit, I’ve been on all sides of the table. I offer valuation insights, help you prepare your business for sale, and guide you through the M&A process to ensure you maximize your return.
As a deeply knowledgeable, accomplished former agency owner, Jeff provides exceptional value as an agency consultant through that rare combination of business acumen, digital expertise, and thought leadership.
