Max, founder of WellCopy, runs one of the fastest-growing email and SMS marketing agencies in the e-commerce space — 130+ retainer clients, 70 employees, and a jump from $30K/month to $500K/month in 24 months. He's 23.

Jordan sits down with Max to break down exactly how he's doing it — before he hits eight figures — so you can steal what's working.

What we cover:

— The founder QC system: why Max personally reviews thousands of emails every week and why pulling back too early kills culture before it scales

— Talent acquisition at the mid-seven-figure bottleneck: internal recruiters, employee referral programs with tiered incentives, and VSLs for every open role

— The 10-80-10 rule for delegating without losing standards

— How WellCopy grew from $3.2K to $5.8K average monthly retainer — and why every dollar of that increase is pure margin

— Building roles around your people instead of forcing people into roles

— Running a month-long waitlist with zero paid ads

— Launching a done-with-you coaching program that sold out in 24 hours

The bottom line: Max's unfair advantage isn't demand — it's standards. And he built those standards by never fully letting go of the work.


If you're running a service agency between $1M–$5M and want to build the operational foundation to actually hit eight figures, that's exactly what we work on at 8figureagency.co.
