Best Customer Segment

    Every good CEO intuitively knows who their best customer segments are.

    And almost every time, they're right.

    But, before pulling the trigger on a sales and marketing campaign (to go get more), it pays to go slow before going fast.

    Here are 3 things you should prove out:

    1. 1. Do we really like working with this customer segment? (don't downplay this one)

    2. 2. Do the existing metrics for this segment line up? (retention, revenue, EBITDA, etc.)

    3. 3. Is the segment's market large enough to justify targeting? (the more businesses, the better)

    4. Knowing this in advance will reduce waste and improve time to results.

    “Is this a good fit for my agency?”

    I partner with founders who want to build something meaningful, not just a busier agency, but a stronger, more scalable business.

    You’re likely a strong fit if:

    • You’re generating $1M–$20M+ annually
    • You want to lead your market, not blend into it
    • You’re thinking about long-term scale, not short-term tactics
    • You want a growth engine that doesn’t rely on you
    • You value clarity over complexity
    • You’re open to advanced growth levers, including acquisitions
