    Three essential skills that separate average salespeople from top performers.

    How do you hire the best salespeople for your agency?

    I get asked this question quite often.

    Here are the three core skills you want:

    1. Sales: they expertly choreograph sales conversations and close the deal

    2. Digital marketing: they communicate the value of SEO (or whatever you sell) in simple, compelling, and relatable terms

    3. Vertical expertise: they contextualize your product to your buyers' world with confidence and familiarity

    All three core skills result in a salesperson who will quickly deliver deals for your agency.

    Corey helps founder-led agencies scale through Deep Specialization™ and programmatic M&A. Former CMO of Scorpion ($20M to $200M). Author of "Anyone, Not Everyone."

    “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
