Agency Blueprint Season 12 | Ep 133 | Productizing Your Agency with Greg Hickman
What is the productization of agency services, and how can it be done? Productization can be defined as solving a problem you know people have, following a similar identical process for each client. The easiest transition to productization is when it’s derived from things you’ve already been doing for your existing clients, which doesn’t change your agency’s entire process.
In this episode of The Agency Blueprint, I’m joined by Greg Hickman to discuss agency productization and how to design productization correctly. Greg is the Founder and CEO of AltAgency™. Over the last 4 years, Greg and his team have transformed AltAgency™ from an automation consultancy serving many well-known entrepreneurs and growth experts into one of the top coaching and training companies for agencies looking to grow and scale by packaging their expertise, installing systems for growth and leveraging automation to save time.
