Stronger systems and structure

Build a foundation that supports growth, instead of collapsing under it.

Faster path to scale

Shortcut years of trial and error with proven frameworks for sustainable, profitable growth.

You’ll get senior-level agency coaching from someone who’s built and scaled a 7-figure agency, not theory from someone who’s never been in the arena.

My Process

1. Book a consultation

We’ll dig into your agency’s current situation—what’s working, what’s broken, and what’s missing.

2. Discovery and diagnosis

I’ll review your service structure, pricing, team setup, sales systems, delivery process, client retention strategies, and growth bottlenecks.

3. Strategic coaching and leadership

We’ll create a roadmap to fix what’s holding you back—and I’ll coach you through building the systems, structure, and leadership skills to execute it.

4. Optional ongoing support

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start scaling smarter, we’ll work well together.

Is this right for you?

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start scaling smarter, we’ll work well together.

This is a good fit if you are:
  • Running a web design, branding, or marketing agency ready to break through your current ceiling
  • Managing a small but growing team—or struggling to scale one
  • Feeling stuck reacting to the business instead of steering it
  • Serious about building an agency that grows without grinding you down

A deeper look at PPC consulting

Starting an agency is about survival.

Scaling one is about structure, systems, and leadership.

Most agencies stall not because they aren’t talented, but because the business systems underneath them can’t support the next level of growth.

Why most agencies stall (even with great clients)

Talent gets you started.

Systems scale you up.

Where agencies break:

  • Service offerings expand without strategy
  • Every project feels custom (and chaotic)
  • Pricing and profitability slowly erode
  • Client churn forces endless new sales cycles
  • Team growth adds management headaches, not leverage

The result? Revenue plateaus. Margins tighten. Owners burn out.

Building a smarter agency means fixing the systems underneath it, not just grinding harder.

Building scalable service offerings

We stop offering “everything to everyone.” I help you:

  • Clarify core service packages
  • Align pricing to profitability
  • Create delivery frameworks that scale without sacrificing quality

When you package smarter, you grow faster, with less chaos.

Installing smarter sales and client qualification systems

Not every client is a good client. Bad-fit clients quietly destroy agency health.

We tighten:

  • Qualification processes
  • Buyer personas
  • Offer messaging that attracts the right people—and repels the wrong ones

This doesn’t just protect margins. It protects your team’s bandwidth and your brand.

“Rodney provided exactly the strategic guidance we needed to revamp our agency’s marketing and positioning. His insight made an immediate impact.”

— Sarah Jeong, Sarah Jeong Law

Building a team that actually scales

Hiring more people doesn’t automatically make you scalable.

I help you:

  • Build clear role definitions tied to business outcomes
  • Create onboarding systems that actually stick
  • Lead with systems, not micromanagement

Leadership isn’t about working harder. It’s about building structures that let great people perform without constant oversight.

Tightening operations and delivery

Strong ops = smoother scaling. We work on:

  • Streamlined project management
  • Standardized delivery workflows
  • Client communication rhythms
  • Systems that reduce error, stress, and friction

Good ops don’t just make delivery easier. They make scaling possible.

“Rodney helped us think bigger and structure smarter systems in our agency. His mentorship was critical as we expanded and matured.”

— Tricia Downing, Redefining Able

Moving from founder chaos to true leadership

You can’t scale if you’re stuck in the weeds. I coach you to:

  • Step back from firefighting
  • Build leadership habits that empower your team
  • Create breathing room for strategic decision-making

Building an agency you can eventually choose to step out of starts here.

“Rodney has a rare ability to break down complex marketing systems and make them practical and actionable. He’s a tremendous coach for agencies looking to level up.”

— Ali Schultz, Reboot IO

Why work with me?

I’m not a business coach who’s never built an agency.

I’ve lived every side of the agency grind—building Connective from a one-person freelance shop into a national 7-figure digital agency.

I know the pressure of client demands, the pain of bad hires, the chaos of growth without systems—and what it takes to fix it.

When you work with me, you get:

  • Proven systems thinking, not guesswork
  • Practical leadership coaching grounded in real-world agency life
  • Strategic guidance designed to build a business that grows and becomes easier to run—not harder

If you’re serious about building a smarter agency—not just a busier one—I’m here to help.

FAQs about working with me

How is working with you different from hiring a typical business coach?

Most business coaches offer general advice.

I coach specifically for growing web design, branding, and marketing agencies—helping you scale smarter, fix structural bottlenecks, and lead strategically.

This is real agency growth strategy—not theory.

Can you work with my leadership team too—or just me?

Both.

Sometimes it’s 1:1 with the founder.

Other times, it makes sense to bring senior leadership into the conversation to speed up implementation and ownership of new systems.

We structure it based on what drives the most progress.

Do you help with sales systems too—or just operations and delivery?

Definitely sales too.

Without stronger sales systems (lead generation, qualification, offer structure), everything else eventually grinds down.

We strengthen sales systems and delivery systems—because real scaling takes both.

How quickly can I expect results?

It depends on where you’re starting:

  • Early wins (like pricing, packaging, offer clarity) can create momentum in 1–3 months.
  • Bigger structural shifts (like team building or leadership evolution) can take 6–12 months for full transformation.

We set smart expectations—and move fast where possible.

What size agencies do you usually work with?

Most are between $50K and $5M annual revenue. Some are scrappy, high-potential startups.

Others are established agencies needing smarter systems to break their current ceiling.

If you’re serious about scaling the right way, you’re probably a fit.

Do you offer workshops or group training too?

Primarily 1:1 coaching, but I also offer leadership workshops for internal teams if that’s what the agency needs.

How much does agency coaching cost?

One-off coaching sessions start at $350/hour.

Custom advisory packages are scoped based on depth of engagement, but always ROI-focused—not endless retainer fluff.
