Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you hit the limit of the growth you can single-handedly bring to your agency? What steps are you taking to ensure you continue to be your organization's MVP? For many agency owners, reaching hitting a glass ceiling on growth signals the need to bring on a skilled operator to help eliminate low-value tasks from their schedule. Today's featured guest specializes in operations hiring and has developed a systematic approach to identifying and delegating low value tasks that consume CEOs' time and energy. As an expert in operational efficiency, she trains operators to create effective processes that free founders to focus on strategic growth. She shares her secret to a great hiring funnel, what results to expect from an operator's first 90 days in your agency, and the #1 thing an operator does for their agency founder. Learn actionable insights on breaking through operational bottlenecks and building a strong operational foundation through strategic hiring and training. Jhana Li is a former COO and the founder of Spyglass Ops, an Operations Hiring Agency, working on behalf of digital businesses to find and hire operations positions. She discusses the challenges agency owners face when trying to scale their businesses and share insights on breaking through the common glass ceiling that many entrepreneurs encounter. Jhana emphasizes that growth stagnation often occurs when founders reach their personal limits in creativity and productivity. She provides valuable strategies for developing new skill sets and building a capable team to propel business growth beyond personal capabilities. In this episode, we'll discuss: The secret to a great hiring funnel that attracts A-players. The crucial first 90 days that determines an operator's success. The #1 thing an operator does for a CEO.

Scaling Your Agency Beyond the Founder's Glass Ceiling As a former COO, Jhana has seen the glass ceiling many founders encounter at some point in their growth occurs once they've hit the limit of the growth they can personally create. It's no longer about showing up and single-handedly working out every problem or how innovative they can be. Breaking through that glass ceiling requires both personal transformation and strategic team building. The path forward demands founders step back from their hands-on approach and focus on developing a trusted leadership structure. This includes establishing middle management positions across all functional departments, ensuring each area has dedicated decision-makers and strategic thinkers. Central to this evolution is hiring an operations manager who can unify the team and create organizational cohesion, transforming disparate departments into a synchronized whole. Do You Have a Hiring Funnel That Consistently Attracts A-Players? For Jhana, hiring A-players is not about fishing in the right pond but rather using the right fishing rod. Great talent is available everywhere but does your agency have a hiring funnel that will consistently extract the right A-players for the right role? A strategically designed hiring funnel serves as both an attractor and a filter, automatically screening out 95% to 98% of applicants before they reach the interview stage. This efficiency comes from carefully crafted criteria that not only draw in ideal candidates but also discourage those who wouldn't be a good fit, saving valuable time and resources. This approach contrasts sharply with the common scarcity-driven hiring mindset, where employers cast wide nets and hesitate to filter out any candidates. According to Jhana, a well-structured hiring system achieves better results by focusing on quality over quantity, ultimately leading to conversations with only the most promising 3% of candidates who truly align with the role requirements. What's the Secret to a Great Hiring Funnel? Building mousetraps in your job post and hiring process is one thing – for instance, Jhana and her team add a codeword to the job description that they'll ask the candidate to repeat during the job application process. However, she only uses that type of strategy for roles that require a high level of attention to detail. Other than that, she has a secret weapon that has consistently given her the best results: performing a skill assessment before sending a candidate to interviews. Skill assessments can take up to two hours, which is exactly the point. It's a way to stress test the candidate to see if they already have the experience for the role. Jhana likes to include very specific questions to get candidates to think about how they would tackle a major challenge associated with that role, which experienced candidates will have no problem doing. Moreover, the effort a candidate puts into completing a skill assessment can be telling. A candidate who submits a thorough, well-structured response demonstrates a commitment to excellence and an understanding of the expectations of the role. In contrast, a lackluster submission may indicate a lack of motivation or a superficial understanding of the job requirements. Candidates who have genuine experience in a given area will articulate their thoughts with clarity and assurance, while those who are less familiar may struggle to provide coherent answers. By designing assessments that require candidates to draw on their past experiences, you can better identify those who are truly equipped to handle the challenges of the role. The First 90 Days: A Guide to Integrating New Operators Jhana has learned that an experienced operator will take their first 30 days with a company to observe, learn, and listen before they jump in and start fixing things. They understand that what they see at first glance might not be the root cause issue at play. Therefore, if they jump in and start tacking inefficiencies right away they might be missing the actual issue. From a founder's perspective, it may be frustrating, as they expect immediate results. However, it is essential for operators to familiarize themselves with the intricacies of the business to address the root causes of inefficiencies effectively. To prevent these frustrations, Jhana recommends scheduling a “success meeting” at the second-week mark. By that time, your operator will have had two weeks to observe the inner workings of your agency. During this meeting, the operator presents their findings and aligns with the founder on priorities moving forward. The result of this meeting should be a clear understanding of what the operator is expected to accomplish within their first 90 days so the founder knows this is in fact the right person for the job. How much time should you invest in training a COO? Jhana knows of cases where the founder is still training their ops manager six months later. To her, you should always keep in mind that any time spent on training is an investment on that person and they won't return on that investment until they are fully functional in their role. She prefers to do a 14-day boot camp before seeing ROI. During that time, she makes herself available every day for a minimum of 30 minutes so they can ask any questions or run something by her. The #1 Thing an Operator Should Do for the CEO The most important thing an ops manager should be doing for their CEO is help optimize their time to maximize their contributions to the organization and ensure that they focus on high-value tasks that drive growth. The CEO is supposed to be the agency's MVP and yet they constantly undervalue themselves when they spend time doing low-value tasks. This is why Jhana trains her operators to do a time audit on their CEO during their first 30 days in the organization. As a result, they can determine how much of the founder's time is going to low-value tasks and prepare a game plan to get them out of day-to-day operations. This misallocation of time detracts from the CEO's ability to innovate and lead and costs the organization in terms of lost opportunities and diminished productivity. Why not start now? Even if you're not at the point where you can hire an operator, do a time audit, locate the low-value tasks taking up too much of your time, and then delegate them to an assistant. That alone would make a huge difference in ensuring you're spending more time growing the business. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

We've all heard that we need to “stop working IN your business, and start working ON it.” But HOW do you actually do that? Today's guest is a dear friend of mine, Jhana Li. Jhana is (in my own words) an “Ops Ninja”. She's the person you go to when you're ready to drive consistent, compound growth, all while scaling yourself out of the weeds of your company. The world's most successful companies all rest upon a foundation of scalable, water-tight operations… … and in this episode you'll learn actually how you can do that. That + because Jhana and I are friends that love to nerd out all the time, you'll also hear some fun stories — like what Jhana did to get called into the principal's office in kindergarten.

ALSO… Exciting news: Jhana also recently partnered with another past guest on the show — Cameron Herold — on a new venture called The Ops Spot.

This episode is for women like me, who don't always find it easy to lean back and allow ease to flow in, but instead have super active minds that constantly want to be in the doing mode. Sometimes, if you just ease off and allow, the universe creates magic to reaffirm the fact we are meant to be living like this – with ease. As I head off on a summer vacation, it's a reminder that having time off and creating ease in your business is a fundamental goal we should all have – but it isn't always easy to get to this place. We often end up doing all the things ourselves, getting overwhelmed and feeling we have to be hyper-controlling over every aspect. In my quest to find ease, I've turned to energy – which has been incredibly successful – but there are also lots of practical things you can do. This week's guest shares her knowledge and practical advice around the topic of operations. Jhana Li has over 4 years' experience as a COO and Operations Consultant for digital entrepreneurs. She specializes in executing scalable team and systems infrastructure and harnessing the true power of Operations as a lever for compound growth. Her passion lies in scaling purpose-based businesses and partnering with the founding entrepreneurs to unlock their highest potential and impact. If you're anything like me, the words 'operations and systems' can be a bit alarming, but you can really benefit from knowing what they really mean and embracing them. Jhana defines operations as “any action required in a business to optimize its use of its core resources – time, energy, money and human potential.” This encompasses not just the human side of things, but also the technological. In this episode you will learn: >> How to conduct a time audit and create the most efficient to-do list for your business >> Building systems as you go: from a single point of contact, to a project management system and beyond >> Scaling your business: going from Solopreneur to building a team It's all about delegation, automation, and streamlining to create joy and freedom – which is why you started your business in the first place! And, ultimately, it's about evolving with efficiency, towards the vision of your business that YOU have.

Do you ever feel that you're spinning your wheels or being penny-wise and pound-foolish? My guest on this episode of What the Fundraising is here with some straight talk about managing operations efficiently and effectively. A consultant who helps small businesses scale, Jhana Li is a systems thinker with a gift for optimizing organizations from both the 30,000-foot and three-foot levels. This conversation offers a framework to audit your organizational health. Plus practical tips for making change! Jhana walks us through core resources for early start-up development as well as key systems to support transformation through scaling stages. You'll recognize some insights that are especially relevant to the nonprofit world. For instance: Are you a serial “helper” or “fix-it” addict who feels constantly compelled to do, facilitate, cure, and manage? Consider whether that behavior is actually serving you or the co-workers who – deprived of the opportunity to take on new tasks – forfeit an opportunity for growth. Or perhaps you default to a scarcity mindset that renders you too fearful to invest in important systems critical to sustaining your work? Jhana not only urges a shift of focus to the big-picture and all the resources you're expending and can never get back, but she also gives tactical and practical ways to do so. This is the episode I wish I had as a Managing Director and Executive Director - it would have completely changed the way I looked at my organization's resources and planned for growth. Listen now to learn how to audit your organizational health & optimize your resources for growth.
