Listen "Q3 agency owner survey shows overall optimism, but dissatisfaction with state of business development"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Chip and Gini discuss results from the SAGA Q3 Agency Owner Survey. Despite a difficult year, the survey reveals widespread optimism among small agency owners regarding future revenue and profit growth. However, there is a noted contradiction, as not as many respondents plan to increase headcount. The discussion highlights agency owners' dissatisfaction with their business development efforts, scoring an average of 4.8 out of 10 in satisfaction. Effective tactics like podcast hosting and video content are underutilized, while traditional methods such as attending events and word-of-mouth continue to play significant roles. The episode encourages owners to adopt more modern business development strategies and to be mindful of adequately resourcing their growing needs. The full survey results are available for download on the SAGA website.
