10. Five Steps to Running An Efficient Client Meeting
A big part of building this relationship with clients is in meetings— whether it's the kick-off call, a bi-weekly catch-up meeting, or a monthly strategy call.
The biggest part of our role is to be the friendly face of the agency and be a cheerleader to the client. At the end of the day, clients want to feel heard, and they want to feel that they're your only client. If you, the agency owner, are still in that client-facing role, cool! Or if someone on your team is the person facilitating these meetings, even better.
In this episode, we're going to drop some of our key tips to leading an excellent client-facing meeting.

5: Scalability: Hyper-niched Agencies that scale FAST— an inside look
We’ve worked with a number of agencies who’ve scaled SUPER quickly, and it’s been awesome to see. Of course, there are good things and bad things with scaling really fast, but we like the high energy of this challenge. This episode’s chat with today’s guest, Natalya will really show you behind the curtain. She’s a client account manager on our team at DOT & Co. and just 9-10 months ago, digital marketing was new to her, but something she always wanted to learn more about. She joined the CAM Academy, our signature client account manager training, and she’s blossomed into a killer CAM. She’s been working inside hyper-niched, scaling agencies, and she knows a thing or two about what goes on behind the scenes.

4. Who's The Next Best Hire In YOUR Agency?
Who’s the next best hire? Do I hire a full-time employee or a contractor? How do I train them? There are so many paths you could take, so we’re answering your questions to help steer you in the right direction.
We get it: 2020 has been a turbulent start to the new decade. We feel it, too. And that turbulence may have you questioning if now is the right time to set goals, hire and scale.
Pandemics or not, we know a thing or two about hiring and scaling because, as client account managers, we play a leading role in assembling digital marketing agency teams every day. And we’ve seen it all, from small agencies just starting out to large agencies ready to expand. And all of them have the same issues when it comes to hiring.
