They discuss what buyers should look for beyond revenue, why a business that runs without its owner may be worth more, and how client retention affects a potential sale.\nThe conversation also gets into the realities of running an agency today, from hosting and email reliability to raising prices and passing along payment processing fees. They debate whether AI meeting bots should be allowed in calls, share what vibe coding makes possible, and explain why AI may give agencies more capacity rather than make their expertise obsolete.\nFor agency owners thinking about their future, this episode is a reminder that recurring revenue is only part of the equation. Strong processes, reliable systems, and the ability to deliver real client value all matter.\n\nTakeaways\nRecurring revenue alone doesn't tell you whether a WordPress business is worth buying.\nA business that can operate without its owner may be more attractive to a buyer.\nClient relationships can be fragile during a sale, so plan for potential customer loss.\nDocumented processes and hard-to-recreate assets can help build long-term business value.\nReliable hosting and email support matter because downtime can damage client trust.\nReview hosting performance and pricing regularly instead of assuming today's deal will last.\nRaising prices and passing on payment fees requires understanding the trade-offs and being prepared to lose some clients.\nAI can increase agency capacity, but human judgment and expertise still matter when delivering the final result.\n\nImportant Links Mentioned\nKurt’s Agency: Mañana No Mas \nToby’s Agency: The Mighty Mo! \nFollow Kurt & Toby on LinkedIn: Kurt | Toby \nAgency Action...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kS5vUqkfftJvPma8CT6Sg5RVHfNHiDpJN8Xgd6S0YNc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80NDFj/MDc1MGQ4ZGI0NzY2/ZDA1YzE0YjE3ZjU0/OThmZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
