082 Macgill Davis: Fixing Time Tracking Without Pissing Off Your Team

Hey everyone, today I'm joined by Macgill Davis.

Macgill is the co-founder of Rize, an automated time tracking platform built specifically for teams.

He previously worked at Twitter and now helps agencies eliminate the pain of manual time tracking with AI-powered automation and deep productivity insights.

I wanted to have Macgill on because time tracking is critical for agency profitability. Your inventory is time. \Bbut most teams hate tracking it.

I personally use Rize and love the functionality, as well as how he’s solving this problem head-on.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Automating time tracking without micromanaging your team
• Why tracking non-billable time matters for profitability
• How bad data sabotages resourcing and hiring decisions
• And more...

You can learn more about Macgill on LinkedIn or at Rize.io.

Lead Gen is the hardest part of running an agency.

For most, it's unpredictable, it's slow, and it's usually expensive.

It's the all-in-one growth platform that turns your existing relationships and client work into a steady pipeline.

Gia automates lead gen follow-up and content, and it's all from the work you're already doing.

Hiring in the agency world is rough. Most job posting sites get you lots of applicants, but with their “easy applying” options, most of those are unqualified. And worse, they don’t understand what it’s like working at an agency.

This is why I created the Agency Job Hub. You can post your positions for free to find applicants looking specifically for agency work, and we already have a growing list of candidates who’ll be notified as soon as you post.

You can list your open positions for free at AgencyJobHub.com.
