Been Burned by an Agency? Watch This
In this concise monologue, Eric Deeran addresses business owners who have had negative experiences with marketing or service agencies. He shares that he, too, has been "burned" by agencies and observes that many others have faced similar issues. While acknowledging the appeal of outsourcing to reclaim time, he warns that without understanding the dynamics, outsourcing often leads to repeated failures. Deeran advocates for either hiring in‑house talent or engaging a consultant (like his team) to install the necessary systems and then train internal staff. He argues this approach is the only sustainable, long‑term solution, emphasizing that continued reliance on low‑cost external providers ultimately leaves the business owner responsible for the poor outcomes.
