The structured way for digital agencies to position better, sell smarter, and operate without chaos
Brands we've worked with
Problem: When your positioning isn't sharp, you end up talking to anyone who's willing to take a call — not the clients who actually value what you do.
Solution: We help you define what you're known for, who you're best suited to help, and how to communicate it clearly. The result: better-fit leads, fewer tire-kickers, and a pipeline that feels steady instead of random.
Problem: Most agencies don't lose deals because they can't deliver — they lose them because the offer feels unclear, or every sales conversation feels like starting from scratch.
Solution: We build a simple, consistent sales approach that makes your value obvious, shortens decision cycles, and helps the right clients say "yes" without pushing, chasing, or discounting.
Problem: As you grow, everything starts bottlenecking around you — approvals, scopes, client expectations, team questions. You're dragged into every part of the business, and progress slows.
Solution: We create clean delivery systems, better handoffs, and operating rhythms that keep projects moving without you needing to manage every detail. Things run smoother, the team

"Kurt showed me the skills and practices I was missing. His advice tripled revenue from the low to high 6 figures in about a year. Everything he has shared is still in practice today and I am constantly improving and implementing the habits and practices that made my agency more sustainable."

"When I first booked a session with Kurt, I was completely lost on how to build a sales strategy for my business and how to navigate entrepreneurship as a first-time founder. But Kurt broke everything down into clear, actionable steps that completely shifted my approach. I ended up doing multiple sessions with him, and the experience was truly transformative. His guidance has had a massive impact on how I'm building my business. If you're looking for real, practical advice, I highly recommend him."
Ken Burns

"I reached out to Kurt needing dual help: One, casting a vision. Two, turning on more effective business development approaches. He was the decisive sounding board that my vision casting needed. And he also brought immense practical operational techniques to help spur me to action just when I needed the kick in the pants."
