The 3 steps to double your client capacity without working more hours. Greg Hickman is the Founder and CEO of AltAgency.com - a coaching and training company that teaches agency owners how to grow and scale their business by getting paid for their knowledge and using technology to simplify their operations.
What Is Productize?
"Productize" refers to the process of developing or altering a process, idea, skill, or service to make it marketable for sale to the public. Productization involves taking a skill or service that has been used internally and developing into a standard, fully-tested, packaged, and marketed product. For example, a consultant might productize their expertise by creating a product or service based on that knowledge. However, productization is not the same as the production of a good or service.

Another great Master Class featuring Greg and Chris. Note, if you are going to be a presenter, make sure your stuff is 💯 to avoid being clowned by Chris 😂. I definitely liked Greg’s comment about ‘stop selling the yacht and start selling the life raft’. In my line of work (e.g. compliance), it amazes my how many organizations pay an arm and leg for the execution, but not on how to avoid the issues that got them into trouble. In today’s environment, organizations need solutions, not a new shiny toys. Also, Greg mentioning about training the client to be a good client is spot-on. I think this applies to any organization regardless of the industry. This would save a lot of time and money with everyone knowing what to expect. Using Chiptole throughout the presentation was a great example and the Five 1s was something different from the usual noise of blanket clients with everything under the sun. Finally, I think it is a shame that many people spend tons of money for a formal education on areas that have little to no use. Yet, the Futr delivers relevant and real world information for far less. Seems like there needs to be another look at the education system in the United States. Well done the Futr 👍🏾

What a great video! After running our agency for about 5 years, we were in the exact same position as Greg described - no more bandwidth as we were growing. We turned to automation and ended up building our own software after months of analysing our process and figuring out the main obstacles. It was really cool to hear you so clearly describe when automation is helpful and how to keep the human connection! Now, we can combine our client work with running the software business which gives us two different kinds of income. Thank you @thefutur for another great video!

I gotta say, I get the value of automation, 100% but I'm also put off by other vendors in adjacent spaces giving me long forms. I'd rather do that kind of work "with them"... reminds me of the questionnaires we "shouldn't" put out, because it leaves the client feeling cold and working alone when they are paying you for a service... there's a happy medium. I agree a lot with what Greg is talking about, but you have to be really smart about what you pick in your company to be "self-service"... I'd rather charge a premium and hold a few people's hands through a process, than scale up and give them all lots of homework. I did love the part about simplifying your offer and being really clear on what it is / productizing everything... that part is GOLD.

Great stuff! To Sean, a great example of productizing something you never thought was possible is Funnel Scripts by Russel Brunson. They give question WITH answer which are missing 1 or 2 words (that you fill in) and you click a button and the software writes your whole sales copy, based on proven sales copies. It's really genius. Maybe you can do something similar with motion graphics.

I'm a personal stylist (just starting out my own business, so that means I do everything for myself) and I periodically binge-watch The Futur videos because Chris Do is so freaking brilliant and picks brilliant guests. (I also recommend you guys to all my graphic designer and social media marketer friends.) My question: We always hear about how the client doesn't care about the process, just the outcome. How do you go about explaining the process to them, to get them on board (the "training the client" part), when they don't care about it? What do you appeal to?

By now, I've learned how to dig much, much deeper during the discovery call, which helps me with the entire process (including getting them interested in the process), and helps me close a lot more clients than before because we're digging down to the deeper emotional value of how I can help them. And now I need to go revisit the entire video to see what new questions it might raise in me, 2 years later. 😁

Roughly the first half of the video had a curious dinamic to it, where it seemed like both of the people there, Chris and Greg, were uncomfortable talking to each other, with Greg doing most of the talk, and more like a presentation, while Chris was apparenty nodding off cameras and answering monosyllabicly. I'm just grateful that I kept watching the video, for the moment some comments about the illustrations, drawings and diagrams popped up, and the moment Chris had the "eureka!" moment, the dinamic of the video changed for the better. Both of them seemed to be involved after that, and while the content in its integrity is greatly appreciated and infinetely useful for a majority of people, it's a lot more enjoyable and envolving when the people you're watching are also enjoying being there. This is one of the videos that, if had only the first half of it, it would have been a totally different from it as it is: it would have been an okay video, and turned out to be nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for the outstanding content you provide for us. Love from Brazil, from an engineer who fell in love with design, with the help of people like you.

@@thefutur thanks for your reply. Guess it was due to the following 1. The explanation done by the guest was not clear. Like I understood the process but no indepth on how.....the steps 2. The drawings he made was too complicated, not clear. I have noticed Chris tried to even make him explain them clear to make us understand (thanks Chris) 3. Haven't seen much examples or atleast a role play that Chris usually uses for us to understand better 4. Guess also I am uses to having Chris talking and explaining. 80% of this video was the guest. Chris haven't said much compared to the other videos But then again thanks for this amazing content. This is only my point of view comparing this video to the others Thanks again and wish you all the best

I feel like you have to be at a very specific place in your career to truly grasp everything Greg talks about. This video resonated with me because I'm very much in the position of struggling to scale my business and trading time for money. Over the last few years I've explored a lot of techniques but most of them have had the same result. Greg explained a flaw that has been the point of my failure. Trying to solve too many different kinds of problems for too many different kinds of clients. In layman's terms: find a client with 1 problem you can solve, or look at 1 problem you have solved for a past client, then create a profile based on the client including how you found them. Then repeat that process and solution again, and again for that type of client. Keep in mind this works best if you have a wide knowledge of client interactions, eg several past clients, to narrow down to just the One. Does that make more sense?

@@SOAFProductions thanks for your feedback, guess you have summed up the complete discussion into this point you have sent. So basically what he truing to say let us say client A has a problem, keeping in mind that this is a repetative matter with many other clients in category A client. Then I need to create a system that when this happens again I need to deal with it as per how it was done. Is this what you are trying to explain. Like keep a note of let us say 10 issues that usually occurs and then create a system for it

Great video! When you say pick 1 avatar and 1 solution, for something like video production, does that mean for 1 industry as the niche or 1 type of solution like a branded video for professionals for example?

I ran many Facebook ad campaigns and it costs about $1000 bucks in ad spend to get a paying client. The various software systems and crm system even for low volume business will cost $500 up front plus monthly fees. The sales person who closes the hot lead from the lead generation system the Facebook ads generates will get about $300 per closed deal. So the total overhead and costs to get business from Facebook ads is about $1500-$2000. So your product or service has to be at least at this level just to break even on the automated Facebook advertising.

Great as always! Quick question: If you choose to do educational marketing to establish yourself a specialist on a niche market, I believe that will be little left to monetize on the DIY circle, which I believe is fine. What effect has putting valuable content out (basically DIY material for free) on the DWY and DFU clients? I am curios on your opinion as I started doing just this. Thanks in advance! PS. I mean just started, 3 videos so far as the production value kills me... and I am just working in the industry, i do not have a company.

You can share tons of content for free but the organization of it and support without application is what people will pay for. Also, with content, it's powerful to share that you have the "know how" with "no how". ;)

@@chanalan9014 You can demonstrate that you know what you're doing without teaching the "how". Some content is TOOOOOO educational that you teach your prospects to not need you. I think there is a balance of demonstrating you know how to do something and get the client a result without teaching the step by step (aka the how). Does that make sense?
