Shownotes

How do you create systems and processes to allow for a full-service agency to scale? What does it take to set up a full-service agency in a way that it can function without the owner? 

In this episode of The Agency Blueprint, I’m joined by Amy Foley, the co-founder at Inbound Back Office. She started her entrepreneurial journey in 2011 when she left her corporate job for more flexibility and time with her family and started a small Virtual Assistant business. The business evolved into what is now known as Inbound Back Office, a 70+ team member Virtual Assistant company that provides back-office support to marketing agencies. 

Listen in to learn how to build a system where managers can engage and report any issues when you’re not involved with your agency's day-to-day. You will also learn how to build attractive features that attract and retain clients ready to pay for your value.

  • [03:51] How did you manage to grow the team and not be involved with the day-to-day of the business anymore?

  • [10:54] What does your process infrastructure and checklist look like?
