Today I’m diving into the pros and cons of working with an ad agency. These are the things you’ll want to know before you 1.) Commit to a new agency or 2.) Fire the one you’re currently working with.  My hope is that you’ll know what you need to know before you find yourself 3 months in and wondering when that ROI is coming.  So let’s talk about what to expect to at least break even with your ads and any agency costs.  Listen for these takeaways: ✅ What to expect (and look for) when it comes to working with an ad agency. ✅ Reasons to consider working with an agency and how much time to give them to prove themselves. ✅ What an agency will likely take on for you and what you may still need to handle on your own. ✅ What you should probably never hand over to an ad agency if they’re offering to take it on. ✅ What you can potentially plan for when it comes to costs, timelines, and ad results  ✅ Everything you should still understand about ads even if you plan to ultimately delegate it all On that note, we're about to open up limited spots for  Get Paid Marketing where we'll help you set up your ad funnel, closely monitor your ads, and provide tailored guidance on how to optimize your content for maximum customer conversion. Plus, if you're eager to get your ads up and running ASAP, check out our renowned Absolute Fb Ads course and receive a special gift from us!  Mentioned in this episode: Believing in Your Process to Double Your Revenue with Claire Pelletreau  Tony Rulli, Claire’s number one recommended ad consultant Thanks for tuning into the Get Paid Podcast!
