Before Client Ascension

Challenges:

Before joining Client Ascension, Dillon faced several challenges:

  1. Inconsistent Revenue: Dillon started his agency from scratch, having no initial revenue and working with clients on a hobby basis. He needed a reliable system to generate consistent income.
  2. Operational Overwhelm: As Dillon’s client base grew, he struggled to manage the workload. Handling client acquisition and fulfillment simultaneously became overwhelming, leading to burnout and frustration.
  3. Client Churn: Dillon experienced client churn when he initially scaled to 10 clients, losing half of them due to inefficiencies in his fulfillment process. He realized that without a solid system in place, further growth would be unsustainable.

Goals:

  • Scale to Consistent Revenue: Dillon aimed to grow his agency’s revenue consistently while maintaining service quality.
  • Systematize Operations: He wanted to build a system that would allow him to handle more clients without the risk of burnout.
  • Reduce Client Churn: Implementing a system that would keep clients satisfied and reduce churn was crucial to sustaining growth.

How Client Ascension Helped Dillon Achieve These Results

Implementation: Dillon leveraged Client Ascension’s strategies to rapidly scale his agency while addressing the operational challenges he faced.

  1. Client Fulfillment Systems: Dillon worked closely with Andre to build a systemized approach to client fulfillment. Together, they created a Trello board that streamlined all operational tasks, making it easier to manage client work. This system allowed Dillon to scale from 5 to 15 clients without the operational chaos that previously led to burnout.
  2. Talent Acquisition: Realizing the need to delegate, Dillon hired a VA to help manage client communications and back-end tasks. This move, supported by advice from Client Ascension, was essential in maintaining service quality as the agency grew.
  3. Offer Creation: Initially, Dillon was unsure how to package and present his services. Client Ascension helped him refine his offer, focusing on financial professionals who valued high-quality lead generation. This targeted approach allowed Dillon to secure and retain higher-paying clients.
  4. Weekly Coaching Calls: Dillon benefited from weekly coaching calls, particularly in overcoming the operational struggles that nearly caused him to quit. These calls provided him with actionable advice, such as systematizing his fulfillment process, which was crucial to handling rapid growth.
  5. 1-on-1 Slack Support: Throughout his journey, Dillon had direct access to Client Ascension’s coaches via Slack. This support was invaluable during moments of doubt and helped him stay focused on his growth strategy.

  • Powerful Network: The community within Client Ascension, including connections with experts like Andre, played a critical role in helping Dillon reclaim his time and focus on scaling his agency effectively.

Process:

  • Refined the client acquisition process to target financial professionals with substantial revenue potential.
  • Developed a system with a Trello board to streamline operations and manage client work efficiently.
  • Delegated tasks to a VA, freeing Dillon to focus on growth and strategy.
