Fire Your Marketing Agency (8 Signs)
Your $18K/month agency set up three campaigns and watched the algorithm work. That is not strategy—it is babysitting. Here are 8 signs it is time to move on.
For Service Business Founders
Your pipeline depends on referrals. That's not a growth strategy.
I build systematic acquisition for B2B service businesses — so your pipeline isn't one warm intro away from going dry.
Join 50+ companies that scaled with profit-led growth marketing
Referrals built your business. But referrals don't scale. You have months where three deals close at once and months where nothing comes in. Your revenue forecast is a guess because your pipeline is a black box of "someone might introduce us."
You tried paid ads. Your agency ran LinkedIn campaigns that generated connection requests from offshore developers. Google Ads brought in people searching for free templates. Meta was a total miss — your buyers don't click Facebook ads for $20K consulting engagements.
The agencies that pitched you don't understand service businesses. They optimize for MQLs. You don't need MQLs — you need qualified conversations with decision-makers who have budget, authority, and a problem you can solve in the next 90 days.
They generate leads. You need qualified conversations.
A pipeline that doesn't depend on who you know.
I build systematic demand generation for service businesses — combining LinkedIn ABM, high-intent Google capture, and content amplification to fill your pipeline with qualified conversations. Not leads. Conversations.
Your ICP is specific: VP-level buyers at mid-market companies with a budget cycle starting next quarter. I target them by title, company size, industry, and intent signals. Every campaign feeds your CRM with context your partners can actually use in the first call.
One operator who understands service business economics — utilization rates, average engagement value, client lifetime value, and why a $2K lead that becomes a $200K engagement is worth 100x a $20 lead that ghosts after the proposal.

LinkedIn ABM
Account-based campaigns targeting decision-makers by title, company size, and industry. Thought leadership amplification that positions your firm as the obvious choice.
Google High-Intent Capture
Search campaigns targeting buyers actively looking for your service category. Competitor terms, problem-aware queries, and category searches.
Content Amplification
Your best thinking, put in front of your exact ICP. Paid distribution of case studies, POVs, and thought leadership that builds authority before the first call.
Pipeline Attribution

Lead Qualification
Scoring and routing that filters for budget, authority, need, and timeline. Your partners only see conversations worth having.

Service Business Audit
