In this episode, Zach talks with copywriter Delia Monk about some of the “bottlenecks” she’s been running into as she tries to scale from a low-six-figure soloist to a small agency.
Delia has great stats about the efficacy of her skills, including…
☑️ Getting a client’s sales page from 3% → 12% application rate (a.k.a. 4x’ing it)
☑️ Doubling open rates for her long-term retainer client who has her work on emails
…But she feels she’s maxed out her rates and that delegating work is eating so much into her margins that it’s not worth it.
In this episode she and Zach explore this and uncover opportunities to keep moving forward and address this bottleneck.
If you’re in a similar position to Delia, where you’re having trouble breaking through the mid-100k-bottleneck, you’ll probably REALLY enjoy $200k Freelancer: https://dyf.link/200kf
