The Agency Profit Podcast
Welcome to the Agency Profit Podcast hosted by Marcel Petitpas, CEO and Co-Founder of Parakeeto.
Finally, an agency podcast that isn't JUST about getting more clients.
On the show, we bring in experts, agency owners and consultants to share their actionable tips for improving profitability and operational efficiency.
Here, you'll learn what systems to implement in your business, what kind of KPI's to track, and benchmarks to aim for. How to manage things like capacity, utilization, billing rates, processes and procedures, what tools to use, mistakes to avoid and so, so much more.
If you're tired of putting out fires, working long hours, and growing revenue but not profits, you're in the right place.
