3 Questions to Push Your Agency Forward

Here are three questions to help you break through the noise and build an agency that scales the right way:

1. What would happen if you completely stopped taking on clients outside your niche for the next 90 days? What fears come up—and are they actually true?

2. If your best-fit clients were all in one room, and you only had 60 seconds to explain why your agency is the best choice for them, what would you say? Would they instantly “get it” and feel like you were speaking directly to them?

3. What’s the one thing your competitors consistently do wrong when serving your ideal clients—and how can you position yourself as the only agency that truly gets it right?

Don’t overthink it. Take 10 minutes, write out your answers, and see what comes up.

Have a great weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it worth imagining stopping all non-niche clients for 90 days?

Because it surfaces the fears actually driving your client decisions, and forces you to check whether those fears hold up. What feels risky on paper is often less true in practice than it seems.

How do I know if my pitch actually resonates with my best-fit clients?

Imagine explaining your agency to a room full of them in 60 seconds. If they wouldn't instantly get it and feel like you were speaking directly to them, the pitch isn't as sharp as it needs to be.

Why does it help to identify what competitors consistently get wrong?

Because that gap is often exactly where you can position yourself as the agency that truly gets it right. Competitors' blind spots are a clearer differentiator than trying to be broadly better at everything.

Do these questions need a long, detailed process to answer?

No, the point is to take about 10 minutes, write out honest answers, and see what surfaces. Overthinking it defeats the purpose.

What's the actual goal of working through these three questions?

Breaking through the noise in positioning, sales, and scaling by getting honest about niche focus, pitch clarity, and competitive differentiation, not adding more complexity to the process.
