PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Does your client have a decent social media following
but aren’t getting the business they’re looking for? That’s
probably because they aren’t providing enough value
and unique experiences for anyone to give a damn. We
solve that.
NOT ENOUGH TRAFFIC
Are people asking your client questions on social
media, but they don’t have the resources in place to
respond and engage appropriately? Leaving one
question unanswered is a costly missed opportunity.
We never miss opportunities like that.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANAGEMENT
We have worked with dozens of startups and new
accounts to begin growing social media from the
ground up.
NO SOCIAL PRESENCE
If your client is getting decent traction but not seeing
enough of a response from your audience, that’s
because they aren’t asking the right questions. People
love answering questions, so we help craft unique ways
to engage them and test how they respond.
BRAND EXPERIENCE AND ENGAGEMENT
“What everyone wants to have is a dialogue with a
brand. And a dialogue happens because you’re
engaged with your customers, you’re not marketing at
your customers.”

WHAT
WE
DON’T
DO
Content Creation – such as blog posts,
high-quality photos, or in-house video
production (we do have partners for this though,
and can discuss additional pricing for video
services). We create social content only. All
other content must be approved for quality and
provided to us.
Inbound Marketing Funnels – We will not
build funnels for your clients. We manage social
media-related projects only. If a client needs
consulting or funnel creation, we have partners
for this as well.
Social Without a Strategy – We only post
with a purpose. If there is no strategy, we can’t
measure success.

OUR
We can seamlessly integrate with your agency to
become your social media team.
POLICIES
20. 20P a g e
We ask that you begin the conversation about our services and gauge the interest of the
prospective client. We are not looking for 100s of crappy leads. We don’t need names and
emails of business owners. And we aren’t trying to pester anyone with our services. We are
looking for people that clearly need social media marketing services (and clearly have the
appropriate budget for those services).
Feel free to show the lead our sales deck here. Even if you show them the deck and they
contact us directly, we will credit you with the referral.
Once you have qualified the lead, we recommend sending an introductory email to both the
prospective client and derric.haynie@gmail.com.
We will keep you updated on new leads bi-monthly, and let you know if and when we close
them and when you can expect your referral commission.
POLICIES AND PROMISES
21. 21P a g e
We give a 10% referral commission for each client closed for the first 1 year of service.
We pay out your commission within 5 days of receiving payment from the client.
Because we do not enforce term length with our clients, there is no guarantee that they
stay for the full year. But with all qualified clients – meaning clients who’s business
continues to grow, who have found product-market fit, and who continue to want to grow
their brand – we have a nearly 100% retention rate. The only time we lose clients is typically
because they end up not being able to afford the continued investment into social media.
Any up-sells or increases in client services fees will increase your commission.

PRICING
OUR
“Success is never owned; success is rented, and the rent is due
every day.”
- Rory Vaden
23. 23P a g e
$2000 minimum – with some exceptions.
Price will be determined by:
• Number of Channels
• Depth of Strategy on each channel
• Number of followers on the account
• Strictness of brand guidelines
• Content marketing strategy
• How content will be coming to us
• Advertising / Content promotion
• Retargeting
No discounts. No revenue sharing. No equity.
We breakdown budget by channel and assign
our resources to tasks on those channels until
we’ve hit our budget.
If we go under budget, we lump those hours into
strategy and tactic sessions that we then explore
in the next cycle, if we hit budget or go over, we
recommend to the client a reallocation of budget
or increase of budget.
Flexibility of services is built in to what we do. If we
are asked to change strategy mid-month but
maintain budget, we will pull resources from other
channels/tasks to focus on new tasks.

25. 25P a g e
We devise strategies for social media management,
account growth and content promotion in order to
deepen your client’s brand relationship with their
customers and hit our goals and KPIs.
STRATEGY
Next we evaluate the core offer and take a look into the
market and personas. We need to know who we are talking to.
PERSONAS
We report on our actions on a monthly basis,
showcasing tracked, correlated, and attributed KPIs
REPORTING
We’ll consult on the type(s) of content that align the client’s
business goals with audience objectives. If the content being
produced by the client is low quality, the bar must be raised in
order to see maximum results.
CONTENT
The first step is a deep dive into the brand so we can
match the brand and voice.
BRANDING
We then put everything into a testing framework and
begin testing our strategies. We look to optimize and
adjust as the strategies play out.

reason.

32. 32P a g e
× Companies that want to pump out very
low quality sales messages on their
social channels.
× Companies that just want someone to
“handle” social media.
× Companies that “just want the basics.”
× Companies that just need you to keep
the channels active.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Not required, but if they have existing social media channels where they are getting traction but are not
managing particularly well, this is a huge bonus.
✓ Existing and organically growing social
channels is a strong indicator of a

34. 34P a g e
× If they are hiring 3rd world freelancers
for crappy content creation.

strategy.
