The Pitfalls of Relying on Referrals

Many agencies struggle with client acquisition due to an over-reliance on referrals and networking. This reliance can stall growth around the $30,000 to $50,000 monthly revenue range, limiting the agency's ability to generate predictable income. While referrals can provide high-quality leads with established trust, relying solely on them means agencies lack control over their client acquisition processes. As a result, businesses may find it challenging to respond proactively to market changes or financial needs, leading to increased anxiety about securing clients.
