“I thought I had a tumor.” – Jose on client work
There were so many great points about client work that Jose brought up in this interview — but one that struck a chord with me was how it affected his health.
There was a time in his career that he constantly had headaches. Unsure of what was happening, he spent thousands of dollars to get himself checked out. The hospital and doctors couldn’t find anything.
Shortly after a project he was working on was over, the headaches vanished.
Coincidence?
I think this speaks volumes about the amount of stress we put on ourselves when we aren’t adhering to the right kind of client with the right process in place. These experiences drove Jose to start the Skool and deliver a set of process tools for all of us to learn from.
Throughout many of my interviews, when I ask “how do you deal with the $500 client?” the common answer is “find one that will pay more.”
I realize this isn’t easy when you’re just starting out and trying to put food on the table. However, if you want to scale and grow an agency, these are the goals you need to be thinking about.
From $5k to $100k WordPress projects
Jose has seen it all.
Small boutique studios, mid sized agencies, to the largest super agencies in the world.
Do you know what the difference was with one agencie’s web product versus another? Nothing.
These agencies became brands that commanded the type of dollars that would make us dream of sandy beaches, blue water, and palm trees. However, not all clients are created equal.
Higher paying clients are larger corporations, media companies or enterprises. If you’re looking for enterprise grade WordPress services, be prepared to have vast resources for insurance and legal counsel.
Again, set your goal, have your vision and be prepared.
The importance of process
If there’s one thing this interview taught me it was to reevaluate my process.
The process isn’t there just to keep the client in check — but to make sure you don’t divert from the path either. It’s easy to let some things slip especially when you’re juggling a lot of work and business development at the same time.
Creating systems is something a lot of us in the startup space hear a lot. Systems are great for the rinse/repeat work, but a process still allows you to be creative at each new phase.
What kind of process do you use? What do you think about system versus process?
