Stop trying to serve everyone (we grew to $150M doing this instead)

    Here's what happened when we focused on just one vertical market instead of chasing every client...

    Most agencies try to serve everyone.

    Big mistake.

    Here's what I learned scaling an agency to $150M: 

    The riches are in the niches.

    Here's why ⬇️

    1. As generalists, we:

    • Fought for every deal

    • Competed on price

    • Had thin margins

    1. Then we focused on personal injury attorneys.

    People said we were limiting ourselves.

    They were wrong.

    1. Results after specializing:

    • Revenue grew 7X

    • Industry-leading retention

    • Sales team grew from 6 to 100

    • Built a $150M business

    1. The Deep Specialization™ framework:

    • Pick ONE vertical

    • Become the expert 

    • Build systems

    • Scale with confidence

    The truth?

    Going narrow is the fastest path to growing big.
