In this monologue, the speaker explains that businesses seeking agency services prefer to work with experts who have demonstrable success in their specific niche. He illustrates the challenge with a real‑world scenario: pitching a dentist when the agency has no prior dental clients or portfolio. Prospective clients typically ask for past work, results, and case studies, and are willing to pay premium rates only to proven experts. The speaker highlights the chicken‑and‑egg problem of acquiring a first client without proof, and notes that referrals and networking events (e.g., BNI meetings) are common entry points, but without tangible results the pitch remains weak. The core message is that without demonstrable outcomes, agencies struggle to command premium fees and must find ways to build credibility early.

Chapters

Everybody wants to work with the expert in their type of business. Like they want to work with someone that's got proven results with companies just like them. As an example, when we started our agency, we're working with local companies. I would sit in a BNI meeting or I would get a referral and I would go and meet with the prospect. So let's just say I got an introduction to go meet with a dentist. I sit down with a dentist and I talk about them and I talk about their goals and I talk about what they've tried and where they're looking to go. Inevitably, what does that dentist want to know? What does he ask? He asks, what other dentists have you worked with? What are the results that you got? Can I see the website or kind of what you did? And naturally I don't, right? I haven't figured that out. I don't have any of those clients. You would be my first client. I'd be cutting my teeth on you. The dentist may give me a shot, but most people, if they're gonna pay a premium rate, they wanna deal with the expert, somebody that's got proven results.
