Digital Agency Myths Debunked!
(kinda like Bigfoot, you can’t believe everything you hear!)
Myth # 1: Your Digital Agency won’t
be profitable for 18-24 months
Truth: Our agency
partners are profitable in
the first month!
• Merchant Launch Seminar gets
room full of hot prospects
• Week of sales calls helps close
enough biz to make you
profitable in your first month
• Dedicated Sales Coach helps
with proposals and virtual sales
calls ongoing after launch

- Fredericksburg VA
135 attended!

St. Joe MO = 80 showed up!

Columbus OH = 100+
Myth # 2: Plan to Spend 6 months to a
Year launching your agency
Truth: We can launch your
agency in 6 weeks!
Our turn key program provides
everything you need…just add
sales muscle. Program includes:

Suite

service after the sale
• Dedicated Sales Coach

Myth # 3: You need to double your
staff to do this right.
Truth: Many of our partners
are successful adding just one
dedicated Digital Agency
specialist.
• No need to add web
designers, social media
experts and extra
headcount
• Dedicated rep + traditional
team = low hanging fruit,
quick wins!

Start with one Dedicated Digital Agency Specialist
Myth # 4:
Agency profit margins are low
Truth: Our partners are seeing 50%
margins after paying us and their
sales reps!
• Our wholesale/retail price
structure allows you to charge
what is appropriate for your
market
• Start up costs are minimal; no
need to add lots of headcount or
web development costs.
• Our low 1x consulting fee is
typically recovered with first few
sales.
