Free live training · monthly 90 minutes + open Q&A

Your agency didn't stop growing because you stopped working hard. It stopped growing because of how you're working. In 90 minutes, live, we'll hand you the three structural shifts that break the ceiling.

The revenue ceiling

Find your number on this map.

Where independent agencies actually get stuck — and what's really breaking at each level.

$250K
The owner-operator max
One person doing everything has a mathematical limit. You aren't running the agency — you are the agency.
$500K
Service eats the selling day
All service, no sales system — every renewal call costs a new-business call. The head that grows the book is buried in it.
$750K+
Headcount grows, profit doesn't
Six to ten employees and still stalled — more people, but no system to plug them into.

The ceiling isn't effort. It's structure. And structure can be rebuilt.

What we're teaching · September 9

90 minutes. Three shifts.

The exact moves that took E+Y through every plateau — taught with the real figures behind each one.

1
Sales stops being a person. It becomes a system.
The growing agencies made one shift: they turned sales from a producer's personality into a documented, repeatable machine — running whether the owner is in the room or not.
2
Service gets its own lane.
Separate lanes, separate owners, separate numbers — so selling never gets interrupted and renewals never get neglected. Great service should compound your growth, not quietly kill it.
3
People multiply the math.
Producers plugged into a real system multiply revenue instead of adding headcount. We'll run the producer math live — the arithmetic that turns hiring fear into a hiring plan.
You leave with tools, not notes

Three tools you can run that afternoon.

Free, whether you ever spend a dime with us or not.

The One Page Sales Day
The exercise that shows you what a real sales day in your shop should look like — hour by hour, on one page.
The Interruption Audit
One day of tallying that will change how you see your operation forever — count what actually steals your selling hours.
The Producer Math Napkin
The arithmetic that turns hiring fear into a hiring plan — run it on a napkin with your own numbers.
Why listen to these operators

Nobody lets you inside a $100M agency. That was always the point.

We got stuck at the same numbers you're stuck at — $250K stopped us cold for 8 months. What finally moved it wasn't effort. It was structure. On September 9 we open the playbook.

The gift + open Q&A
Your tools drop in the chat, then questions with no hard stop. Ask about YOUR agency.
Part of this training gets deleted from the recording
Not marketing talk — our team literally cuts one section out of the replay. It only exists for the people in the room live. And the replay itself dies 48 hours after we end.
An honest filter

Worth 90 minutes of your life if…

This is for you if
You own an independent agency doing roughly $200K to $1M in revenue — commissions received, not premium.
You've proven you can sell — and you're done being the entire engine.
You'd rather have structural work from operators than another motivational hour.
This is not for you if
You're captive. The architecture won't fit your structure.
You're brand new. Build the book first — our free content is for you.
You're looking for a magic pill. Skip it — this is structural work.

Save your seat. Take the lunch.

Live is where the tools drop, the math runs on real numbers, and the deleted section happens. The replay goes only to registrants — and it's gone in 48 hours.
