    Ep 215: Telling It Like It Is: Hard Truths About Marketing

    Apparently, I have developed something of a reputation for telling it like it is. Students and my friends know that they can expect me to give to them straight.Sometimes that might come across a little harsh, and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think there’s value in giving (and getting) no BS answers.

And it’s up to you to take that and make your own decisions about how it applies to you and your business.This month, I’m going to share some of the biggest hard truths that one-to-two person branding agencies need to learn. Once you accept them, it will unburden you from so many challenges and you’ll be able to move forward with more ease.Today, I’m starting with five hard truths that most business coaches won’t tell you about marketing.Tune into this episode to hear:* What every killer offers needs* The truth about what “free” marketing costs* The thing you need to have before spending any money on ads* Why you do not need to chase trends trying to go viral on social mediaResources:* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Launchpad (https://www.nobsagencies.com/launchpad)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)

    Ep 211: The No BS Way: Retainers

    A lot of small agency owners learned how to structure and run their businesses from the agencies they’ve worked at in the past.But what if everyone's doing it in an inefficient, ineffective way? That’s the conclusion I came to when we found ourselves deep in debt after following the default way things were done. Now after over a decade of doing it the No BS way and teaching that method to hundreds of people, we've developed our own way of doing almost everything, and it's far from the default of proposals and pitch decks.This month, I’m talking about some common things that we all have to do as agency owners, and the very different way that we do it inside No BS.In this episode, I talk about the difference between the traditional retainers model and the No BS way of doing retainers.Tune into this episode to hear:* How traditional retainers give small agency owners a false sense of financial security* Why retainers are so prone to creating burnout for agency owners* Three rules for handling retainers the No BS wayResources:* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Launchpad (https://www.nobsagencies.com/launchpad)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)
