This episode of Sell With Authority is one I have been eagerly anticipating! I’m excited to reintroduce you to our special guest expert — because this conversation has been about 6-months in the making.

When Marcel Petitpas, the Co-Founder and CEO of Parakeeto, joined us for Episode 95, the insights he shared were just the tip of the iceberg. That’s why I immediately extended the invitation for an encore.

Marcel has an unparalleled understanding of agency profitability and the essential metrics we need to focus on as agency owners to ensure not just growth — but profitable growth.

Today, Marcel and I pick up right where we left off, delving deeper into the nuances of agency profitability. But that’s not all. Thanks to the timing of this encore, we have a unique opportunity to gain some exclusive insights.

Marcel has been on the move, traveling the country, sharing his wisdom on countless stages, and fielding questions from eager agency owners like you. So, during this encore, we take a peek behind the curtain.

I’m beyond excited about this encore with Marcel — because when you sell more of what you do at a higher fee — that’s awesome — but it’s only awesome if you’re also more profitable.

For this episode of Sell With Authority, we’re shaking things up a bit. Instead of our usual format — I’ve got something special in store for you.

We’re diving into an episode I recorded with Drew McLellan for his Build a Better Agency Podcast.

Why this twist, you might wonder? There are a few reasons I’m excited to share with you.

First off — Drew and I delved deep into the topic of niche, but from a perspective that might surprise you. We explored how Predictive pivoted its niche a few years back, the reasons behind it, and, candidly, how we got a bit too comfortable in our previous niche.

Secondly — I believe the insights we share about building community and adding value will resonate with you, especially if you attended Day 1 of our March Intensive, where community was at the forefront.

And third — buckle up for some powerful takeaways from Drew’s keynote at the Build a Better Agency Summit. He discusses steering our agencies out of safe harbors, embracing the storm, and why those risks we fear might not be risks at all. Drew’s wisdom adds a brilliant layer to the conversation.

If you take and apply what we talk about in this episode — you’re going to be in a much better position to roar through 2024 by selling more of what you do.
