  • If you want to unlock the next stage of growth by building a predictable pipeline and winning higher-value clients — but without relying on complicated workflows or chasing large volumes of leads — it’s time for a more deliberate approach. Our partners at Copper CRM partnered with agency growth strategist Melissa Lohrer to create the Lead Nurture Playbook, a new guide that helps agencies make lead nurturing simple, natural, and repeatable — without disrupting what’s already working. It’s designed for agencies ready to scale beyond word-of-mouth growth sustainably by building meaningful, authentic connections with prospects. 👉https://lnkd.in/ez9U4u3q

    AI won’t kill agencies. In fact, it might just make them better. 🧠💡 As AI evolves, it’s natural to feel some fear about how it will impact the services agencies offer. But instead of fearing change, the real opportunity is in leading it. Just like spellcheck didn’t kill writing or Squarespace didn’t replace web design, AI won’t replace agencies—it will shift the way we work. Our real advantage? It's not in doing routine tasks—it’s in knowing when and how to use these tools to get the best results. Clients want more than just tech—they want expertise, strategy, and guidance. The key is to adapt. If most work becomes automated, let’s focus on being in that top 5% that adds the most value. That's where agencies can thrive. 🌟 Is your agency winning with AI? 👉 Check out our latest blog to see what the most successful teams are doing differently. https://lnkd.in/gFbtiymf
