Current Trends in Boutique Agency Opportunities and Competition
Boutique agencies are experiencing increased opportunities but also heightened competition. This shift is attributed to growing leverage against larger agencies and in-house operations.

The key to agency growth lies in specialization, demand generation, and effective outreach strategies that align with the agency's unique strengths. The focus is on leveraging specialization to drive appointments and nurture leads effectively. Understanding the ideal team setup for nurturing clients and optimizing outreach processes are crucial steps in achieving sustainable growth.

The focus is on reducing friction in the sales cycle while maintaining a client-centric approach.
