Discovery Sessions: Why You Should Charge for the First Meeting
“The first meeting is not a free coffee. It is the first deliverable.” Investors ask one question when they look at a service business: “Does your time have a price tag or not?” The way you handle discovery sessions answers that question before they ever see a pitch deck.

Image Optimization: Why Smush/Imagify Isn’t Enough

The market now rewards whoever owns the search box, not the phone book.” The data is blunt: inbound content programs are producing 3 to 5 times more qualified opportunities per dollar than classic outbound calling in most B2B tech segments, especially for deals under 100k ACV. Sales teams … Read more
Tools of the Trade: The Tech Stack of a 6-Figure Agency
“A 6-figure agency is not built on talent alone. It is built on repeatable systems, powered by a tech stack that prints predictable revenue.” The market rewards agencies that treat their tech stack like a P&L line item, not a shiny toy box. The data from agency operators points to a simple pattern: once an … Read more
WooCommerce vs. Shopify: When Open Source Becomes Too Expensive
“Open source is free like a puppy, not free like a beer.” The market keeps proving the same uncomfortable truth: for many stores doing between 1 and 10 million dollars a year in online revenue, WooCommerce often costs more than Shopify when you factor in development, maintenance, extensions, and lost time. The sticker price misleads … Read more
