Managing Teams
Managing people is tough—but it doesn’t have to be so hard.
When you have the right team, everything else about running an agency becomes easier. I’ll help you create the right Team Structure for your agency’s growth, figure out smarter Employee Recruiting, and keep the right people through Employee Retention. You’ll also get help on Leadership Coaching, to help you and your team reach your and their full potential… no MBA required.
Since 2013, I’ve helped agencies:
- Create new team structure, to help meet a 100% annual growth target
- Find and solve the core problem that was making key employees quit
- Coach managers to boost employee retention and effectiveness
- Find high-quality employees at below-market rates
Want my help, too?
Let’s talk—I offer a free, confidential, no obligation Q&A call to see if we’re a match.
How does this work?
It starts when you fill out the contact form below. My project manager (Diane) or I will get back to you within two business days.
If things sound like a match, you’ll get my pre-intake survey and we’ll schedule a 45-minute exploratory call. We’ll have some followup questions, and answer your questions about approach.
If things are a fit, I’ll recommend the right approach. And if we’re not a fit, I’ll point you elsewhere.
Am I a typical client?
My clients have spanned 300+ agencies on six continents. Here are common factors:
- You’ve been growing fast—between 30% and 200% annually—and are hitting growing pains. You wish you could make yourself “needed, but not necessary.”
- You’re facing a big decision about your agency’s future. You want a plan or roadmap to get there faster, instead of learning the hard way.
- Your agency has 20-100 employees, with 1-3 owners. (My clients have ranged from startup agencies to holding company agencies.)
- You’ve budgeted at least US$15,000 for comprehensive help.
Sound like you? Sounds painful—request that free Q&A call ASAP!
What does it cost?
Considering we’re solving problems that have a six- or seven-figure impact, most clients invest US$20,000+ annually. Engagements fall into two categories:
- Agency Roadmap consulting project: $15,000 to $35,000 plus travel (2-4 months)
- Executive Coaching: $2,500 to $3,500 per month (6-12 months)
Most clients pay via credit card. I also accept PayPal, ACH bank draft, TransferWise, and U.S. checks. There’s a deposit and then ongoing installment payments.
Not in your budget, or trying to solve a smaller problem? Schedule permitting, we can do a one-off call for $750 to $1,000 via Clarity.fm.
Will Karl come to my office?
All of my coaching and most of my consulting work is remote. During larger Agency Roadmap projects, an on-site visit may make sense, especially when you have a large team in one location. If that’s the case, I’ll include that as an option as we scope your project.
