What if your agency's biggest success becomes the reason a client fires you?
Steven Pope shares how he lost a client after growing his agency fees to around $21,000 a month. In this coaching call with Jasim, he explains why certain agency pricing models can backfire, how to structure contracts that make sense for both sides, and what agency owners should consider before scaling.
The conversation also covers building systems that run without constant founder involvement, finding clients through cold outreach, and deciding when to outsource versus building an in-house team.
