SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

uh, we're going to kill it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

We're going to, we're going to cross a million.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

Yep.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

And you're on track right now.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

2.2 million.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

Yep.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

Absolutely.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

So, so to do that, we had to change the model a little bit and, um,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

so traditionally we've had only one agency in each discipline or category.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

And by discipline or category, I mean one web design agency, one multicultural agency, one mobile, one social media.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

But the reality is the client is asking us for more than one option.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

So they say they need a social media agency.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

We offer them a social media agency.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

That's great that we've already vetted and they say, okay, can you send us to

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

or three more.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

And so the newer model is such that we will now say, hey, we've got these four agencies that are great.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

You should look at all four of them and then pick.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

Go ahead.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
665: Blessed or Gutsy? CEO Turns Down $400k Salary to Launch Own Agency

Well, one of the reasons we do that is because, you know, they want to consider multiple options, but they also each of the agencies in that category probably have different strengths and weaknesses and different chemistry with the potential client.
