    The Lead Magnet That Pays for Itself w/ Chris DuBois

    Is your agency leaving nearly 2/3rds of your new client acquisition up to chance? If so, you’re not alone.  But it doesn’t have to be that way. According to research from WordStream, 60% of most new agency clients are coming from a channel that you can’t directly control, let alone scale. That scary stat is exactly what today’s guest is helping agencies avoid by building a portfolio of offers you can use to drive more inbound leads and create a re-usable marketing asset that pays for itself. Chris DuBois, Founder of Dynamic Agency OS, fell into agency life after his military service and after years helping grow Lean Labs, a HubSpot Diamond Partner, he’s now helping agencies attract more leads through a portfolio of offers that compel new clients to buy from your agency.
