They position the agency as Done-For-You (DFY) “complete A to Z services” for businesses, including:

Website/funnel bottleneck analysis
Social media presence & content design
Paid acquisition via:
- Facebook Ads (Meta Ads)
- Google Ads
- Channel choice depends on business type
Lead/sales alignment by vertical:
- Local businesses: prioritize leads + calls
- Hotels / glamping sites: prioritize bookings
  - specifically fixing a weekend-vs-weekday demand bottleneck

Facebook groups (USA/Go-high-level community, etc.) were effective when less saturated.
Lead sources within groups included people requesting help with:
- funnel building
- automation support
- paid advertising help

LinkedIn for sourcing external clients (slower close cycle)
- Expect 5–6 months for some prospects to close
- Requires consistent follow-up
Cold emails have also been used successfully (client close via cold email mentioned)
Constraint: LinkedIn outreach works better with Sales Navigator
- Claimed volume: 40–45 people/day (Sales Navigator is not free)
Alternative sourcing methods:
- Meta Ads Library: find businesses currently running ads; infer acquisition/CAC pain and pitch improvement
- AI-assisted research tools mentioned for lead discovery and qualification

Commission/close-ops split in partner team:
- He leads reach-out + funnel audits
- Partner handles closing
First-client problem (proof gap) solved via partner’s prior work:
- Partner had prior advertising report/proof, enabling confident onboarding
Upfront payment strategy (risk management):
- For international clients: target 100% advance in the first call after trust is built
- Mentioned approach: out of 10 clients,
  - 1–2 may require 50%
  - others pay 100% upfront
- Rationale: domestic (India) work previously suffered from slow/stuck payments and poor follow-through

CRM / funnel + workflow tool: Go High-Level (GHL)
- referred to as “Go is a high level software”
Professional email: Google Workspace
Design/video generation workflow:
- Mentions Gemini / ChatGPT-style tools for research and content generation
- “Free tools/pics” used to generate videos (general workflow)
Client payments tooling (international billing):
- PayPal was used but stopped due to fees + refund complications
- Switched to Voice and Remitly
- Claim: fees are “absolutely negligible,” roughly 1–2% impact (example: $1500 → ~1442 net)

Hotels / glamping sites:
- booking-focused optimization (weekdays vs weekends demand gap)
Search Institute (USA):
- author/coach + Virtual Assistant (VA) provider
- Their book positioned as the front-end offer
- Funnel structure: upsells/downsells + coaching offer ($3000–4000 mentioned)
- Agency work described:
  - build funnel assets
  - create ad creatives this week
  - script/shoot planning (partner handles operations)
  - video editing via editors
  - ads editor hired (in-house or freelancer)

Pick a niche where outcomes are guaranteed (lead- or sales-driven), rather than generic service promises.
- Examples mentioned: plumbing (outside demand), construction-related businesses
Build a win-win offer tied to lead/sales targets
- Example framing: “X leads in Y days” style (outcome-based pitching)
Use proof to close early deals
- If you lack case studies, rely on the partner’s prior advertising/report proof for the first onboarding
Reduce payment risk with upfront pricing
- Especially in international markets
Prioritize acquisition channels that support consistent follow-up
- LinkedIn + cold emails (not one-shot outreach)

Annual growth goal (explicit):
- Scale monthly revenue from ₹7–8 lakh max to ₹12–15 lakh/month “this year”
How they plan to reach the target:
- New clients
- Referrals from existing industry contacts (“noons” mentioned as people already in their network)
- Claimed math: 5 additional clients could make the target achievable
