to Build a Revenue Model That Scales","description":"

To win the talent wars, agencies must move away from the “work a million hours, earn a million dollars” compensation structure and instead build a revenue model that allows the organization to scale its talent, expertise, and intellectual capital the same way other types of business do.

Tim Williams shows how agencies can replace their current cost-driven compensation approach with an actual revenue model; a variety of ways they can price their services based on the value they create rather than the costs they incur. The result is a profit margin that will allow agencies to compete more effectively with other businesses for top talent. Key people in the firm will have a more promising, rewarding career path, armed with the confidence that the firm can pay them what they’re worth.

Beyond healthier salaries, adopting a modern revenue model can produce a host of other beneficial effects for the organization. This provocative workshop shows how:

Reframing agency services as solution sets creates an inherently more valuable offering to clients. Many existing agency competencies can be reimagined as programs or products, which are more scalable, more repeatable, and ultimately more profitable than labor-based services.
Moving away from the labor-based compensation approach means senior people can deploy their talents without the constant worry of being “billable,” which results in a higher degree of professional satisfaction.
A focus on providing external value (instead of just conforming to internal guesstimates) provides the right kind of healthy, purposeful internal incentives and allows professionals to flourish.
Overwork can be avoided by moving to a revenue model where there is clear alignment of economic incentives. In this model, an effective campaign can enjoy a long life (as it should) and the firm can benefit financially without having to constantly log hours against a project.

Specific Topics Include:

Developing a revenue model, not just a cost structure.
Cultivating a diversified pricing portfolio.
Selling solutions instead of services.
Building a business that’s easier to scale but harder to duplicate.
Removing your self-imposed profit ceiling.
Monetizing what you know, not just what you do.
Selling, tracking and managing outputs and outcomes instead of inputs.
Trading utilization for effectiveness.§ Institutionalizing pricing (not costing) as a core competency.

This webinar helps identify specific ways to create the financial breathing room you need to invest in new talent, develop new offerings, and create sustainable new revenue streams.
