If you’ve been building a digital marketing agency, you’re likely beginning to realize how difficult it is to get traction in the field. It might seem like others are so entrenched that your operation can’t get noticed.

That’s where a proven coach like Josh Nelson at Seven Figure Agency can help.

Who is Josh Nelson?

Josh started by growing his own digital marketing agency from a small 2-person operation into a 35-person powerhouse doing over $5 million annually!

Having been named one of the INC 5000 fastest-growing companies four times in a row, Josh decided to use his talents to teach others how to achieve extraordinary results.

He’s written two books, holds in-person events, and offers one-on-one coaching to help people like you grow their marketing agencies.

How does Josh Nelson grow digital marketing agencies?

To build an agency to $5 million (Titan status, as he calls it, multiple millions annually), more has to happen than running ads or getting everyone possible on the phone.

He shows you everything from front-end positioning to retaining clients and scaling your business without compromising your processes.

There are four main pillars behind his growth strategy:

1. Land clients - Josh believes in an attraction marketing methodology. There’s no desperation, and there’s no being needy. He teaches you how to position yourself as an expert who can confidently handle everything your clients need. This can’t really happen until you pick a niche and stick to it. Josh grew his agency by helping owners of HVAC companies with their SEO. When you need something serious done right, you go to a specialist, not a generalist.
2. Deliver results - The key to growth hinges on providing clients with real and tangible results. If your (and your employees’) results don’t speak for themselves, you won’t get referrals, testimonials, or clients who stay around, allowing you to scale your business.
3. Retain long term - If you’re always taking on one-off projects, then that monthly recurring income isn’t going to be there. Focus on finding clients who want to work with you on an ongoing basis to truly ramp up your revenue.
4. Scale - Many businesses get stuck in the mud when trying to grow because their processes don’t grow with them. Josh teaches how to build a foundation that scales to accommodate more clients and revenue.

Josh’s Books

‍

If you’re not quite ready for coaching from Josh, his books are great introductions to his approach. In fact, he gives both of his books away for free with just a small shipping fee.

He gives the books away for free because they contain so much tangible value, real strategy, and step-by-step execution that you’ll be able to join his inner circle with your newfound business growth. The results have been proven over and over, and I can testify to witnessing this firsthand—just ask me!

His books are the Client Retention Handbook and the 7 Figure Agency Roadmap.

How Josh grows his business using Coldlytics Data

One of Josh’s main strategies for growing his digital marketing agency is outbound marketing. This means he and his team actively reach out to qualified leads to help them understand the value his team provides.

Of course, outbound marketing is only as effective as the data you have. If you’re finding leads one by one, you’ll never be able to scale on a meaningful level. Or, if your list of leads is from five years ago, you’ll be spinning your wheels with outdated email addresses and disconnected phone lines. 

That’s why Josh relies on Coldlytics for his data. Our lead lists are researched and compiled after you decide the parameters you want to target, so there’s never a danger of anything being outdated. Our phone numbers and email addresses bypass gatekeepers and ping the decision-maker directly.
