Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you need to get yourself out of agency operations so you can work ON the agency rather than in it? Are you stuck in processes and fulfillment when you should be looking at growth? It might be time to hire for the role of COO to ensure your agency's success. A Chief Operating Officer plays a pivotal role in an agency's development, significantly reducing the CEO's operational burden. However, timing is crucial – agencies should carefully consider their growth stage before initiating the search for a COO, and thoroughly understand the position's complexities to ensure an ideal match. Our featured guest brings a unique perspective to this discussion. Having served as both COO and now CEO at her current agency, she offers valuable insights into the essential qualities needed for the role. Her experience illuminates the delicate balance required between the visionary (CEO) and the executor (COO), demonstrating how this partnership can drive optimal agency outcomes. Brittany Filori is the CEO of 51Blocks and several other white label agencies serving agency owners and entrepreneurs. She discusses the crucial role of a Chief Operating Officer (COO) in agency management and shares her unique journey from starting at the bottom to becoming a CEO, providing valuable insights into the relationship dynamics between CEOs and COOs. In this episode, we'll discuss: Do you need a COO or an Ops Manager? The most important roles of a great COO. The crucial CEO-COO dynamic. Preventing COO burnout.

The decision to hire a Chief Operating Officer (COO) marks a critical turning point in an agency's growth journey. Brittany recalls transiting to a COO role once her agency was big enough to need department managers. Of course, this can vary from business to business but for her it comes down to whether the owner was ready to hand off the keys of the business' growth, and whether they needed a second hand to get the agency to the next level. Unlike an Operations Manager, whose role is managing the team, the COO is often seen as the backbone of an organization, responsible for ensuring day-to-day operations align with broader strategic goals. According to Brittany, bringing in a COO could be the best or worst decision you make, depending on who you put in that seat. It's certainly a tricky role to hire and Brittany urges agency owners to clearly define their needs. Are you seeking someone to manage personnel, or do you need a strategic thinker to drive business growth and operational excellence? These fundamental questions can mean the difference between a successful hire and a costly misstep. Strategic Operations Staffing for Growing Agencies For growing agencies not yet ready for a COO, an operations manager can provide crucial support by taking on team management responsibilities. Given the high-stress nature of operations and its potential for burnout, finding the right person requires careful consideration of both management skills and operational expertise. Agencies usually pay a pretty penny for someone who comes in with that talent. However, for smaller agencies that don't have the budget for an Operations Manager just yet, Brittany recommends training the best account manager to start to fit into that role. A great Ops Manager should be a great leader with attention to detail and the ability to see the big picture. This internal promotion strategy provides a cost-effective path to filling a critical role while also creating growth opportunities that can boost team morale and retention. 3 Most Important Roles of an Amazing COO A COO serves as the backbone of an organization, balancing multiple critical responsibilities that directly impact both the company's success and its culture. Here are three key attributes that define an exceptional COO: Comprehensive knowledge of the agency. A great COO must understand how each department functions independently and how they interconnect to support one another. This understanding extends beyond internal operations to encompass the client perspective, as every strategic decision must account for both team capabilities and customer experience. Strong financial intelligence is crucial for effective operations management. COOs must constantly evaluate agency profitability, assess resource allocation, analyze client contribution margins, and monitor employee costs. For example, an experienced COO like Brittany learns to view every decision through both a financial and customer-centric lens. Whereas earlier in their careers, they might have focused primarily on client satisfaction without fully considering the financial impact on the agency. Leadership excellence stands as a fundamental yet often overlooked requirement. Many mistakenly believe that a COO's role revolves solely around numbers and processes. However, the position demands someone who can effectively guide and inspire teams toward organizational goals. Strong communication skills and leadership abilities are not optional extras but prerequisites for success in this role. The Dynamic Between the CEOs & COOs The relationship between CEO and COO is more nuanced than many realize, according to Brittany. At its core, it's a partnership between a visionary and an integrator, where the greatest challenge lies in maintaining distinct roles despite overlapping talents. Rather than seeking a mirror image of themselves, CEOs should look for COOs who complement their strengths—even if that means partnering with someone who seems like their opposite. With these inherent differences, CEOs and COOs must learn to manage conflict, which instead of being avoided, should be embraced as a necessary element of collaboration that can serve as a mechanism for clarity. In her case, Brittany and her COO find the most constructive way to navigate conflict is to stick to facts and remove emotion. You want a COO who will complement you while also challenging you to think differently about issues to obtain the best possible results. In an effective CEO-COO relationship, the foundation is trust and communication, anchored by shared core values and commitment to the organization's mission. Brittany's advice to CEOs is to let your COO fail. If you don't fully agree with how they're planning to execute something give them a shot to try it their way. If they fail, your job as CEO is to help pick them back up, not criticize them, because otherwise they won't feel confident bringing forward innovative ideas in the future. Preventing COO Burnout: Building a Sustainable Leadership Structure As Brittany highlights, finding the right COO is just the beginning; ensuring their longevity within the organization is equally vital. The COO often bears the brunt of operational stress, alleviating burdens from the CEO and other leadership roles. Therefore, it is crucial for agency owners to actively support their COOs by ensuring they have all the tools they need to execute efficiently and feel supported. Implementing structured platforms for dialogue, such as regular check-ins and performance reviews, can facilitate healthy discussions about workload, expectations, and career aspirations. This not only helps in managing stress levels but also reinforces a sense of partnership and collaboration between the COO and the rest of the leadership team. COOs can get overwhelmed and stressed too. Finding one that matches your organization well is already hard enough so once you do, make sure you can find a way to retain them.

He earned both his Bachelor's and MBA from Baylor University. For over 20 years, Brian has worked in multiple MSPs and has bought and sold multiple MSPs. He's been everything from a technician to Ops Manager to CFO to CEO. He has grown multiple MSPs to over $5 million in revenue and managed MSPs in excess of $15 million in revenue. Brian has a thorough understanding of all the ins and outs of running a highly successful MSP. But more importantly, he understands how to help MSP leaders get the most from their business. His expertise in leadership and coaching can help any MSP owner or CEO achieve the results they want in both business and life. 01:48 – Brian's journey from MSP to a full-service managed service provider began 20 years ago with a company he did not own. In 2007, the company transitioned from break-fix to completely managed services, growing from a couple of individuals over 45 to a fully managed service. Brian's career is marked by the transformation from a family office-owned company to an MSP company. 06:08 – Brian talks about the need for open communication during the due diligence process, as there are no secrets involved. This process can take a long time, especially if peas are engaged from introduction to deal closing. 10:12 – Brian discusses a business partner and a conversation outside his knowledge. He discussed the potential outcome of the deal and his willingness to exit for money or after the sale. 12:22 – Tim comments on what Brian Hoppe stated, and he's curious to see what they're seeking to accomplish now, what their next venture will be, how they'll do it, and what the different things will be like. 16:37 - Brian asks what advice they might give to a first-time MSP considering entering the coaching journey, what questions they should be asking themselves, and what they should be prepared to undertake as they enter into that arrangement. 19:22 – Tim appreciates his coachability and the number of people joining peer groups with business coaches. He believes those who aren't open to change may not even consider it.

Today I go behind the scenes with one of my wonderful clients, Sally Brindle, who owns Total Accounts, a business that provides full-service bookkeeping to small and medium businesses. Sally started Total Accounts 10 years ago and is extremely passionate about helping small businesses thrive. In this episode of Big Dreams Great Teams, Sally and I explore the journey of leading her high multiple six-figure business, and some of the big shifts she has made over the last nine months since working together in her business and life. Sally shares with me why she decided to have a 100% fully remote team from the beginning and why that works best for her, her business, her team and her clients. We explore the ways in which Sally was leading her team when we first started working together, and talk about some of the strategies we put into place to help her overcome the feeling of always being really busy. This is a feeling I know a lot of entrepreneurs have and struggle with, and we speak about how we worked out what Sally actually wanted to be doing in her business, and what tasks and responsibilities could be given to someone else on her team. We share how we mapped out a hiring strategy that suited Sally and her business allowing her to go on and confidently grow her team to 10 people and which furthered her businesses revenue growth. We take a look at the framework Sally now has in place to lead her team and how she is living her dream week and what that looks like for her. I hope that this episode inspires you to take a look at your current team and I encourage you to identify some tasks and responsibilities that you could pass along to someone on your team, or to a new hire. You deserve to have a team who performs to your highest expectations, brings you a great return and tangibly supports you to build the life and business of your dreams. LINKS:Book a Dream Team Discovery CallConnect with Sally:Website: https://totalaccounts.com.au/Connect with me: Website:www.paulamaidens.com Instagram:@paulamaidensconsultingFacebook: @paulamaidensbuildingawesometeams

Sometimes all you need to do is acknowledge other feelings.Each party will have their version of reality.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. This week it seems like so many representatives across the country of the investor community come to Atlanta for VentureAtlanta, what better way to start this week's podcast than with Raises of the Week.  Raise a Glass:  First is MileAuto out of the ATDC. CEO Fred Blumer raised $4M from existing investors including Ulu Ventures, Emergent Ventures and Sure Ventures. MileAuto provides auto insurance to low-mileage drivers through the use of computer vision and ML technology. That brings their total funding to $16M. Congrats to Fred and team.  Another announcement in funding is Greenzie with an $8M round that includes the strategic investment of Bobcat. This one is right in Atlanta Ventures' backyard as Founder and CEO, Charles Brian Quinn or CBQ started it out the Atlanta Ventures Studio just over 4 years ago. Today, there are mowers coming off the lot from manufacturers that are air quotes Robotic Ready to be activated by Greenzie's software to make them autonomous. This funding provides Greenzie resources to partner with several more manufacturers so in a not too far distance there will be dozens and then hundreds of mowers coming out of the productions lines ready for Greenzie's software to be turned as simply as Sirius radio, but instead of the Elvis Presley channel, it's autonomous mowing all the time. Congratulations to CBQ and team!  Product of the Week: This product is headquartered out of Birmingham, Alabama and designed to be your digital vault for all the key family documents in your nuclear and extended family. The company is called Prismm and it was founded by Martha Underwood. Think of all the important documents that are either saved on an external hard drive or in the cloud – most likely email or a desk drawer – that should be in a safe and secure location. Prismm is the place that keeps all of these documents organized, safe, and secure. Examples include documents around property & assets, financial accounts, and more. Say good by to the security deposit box and hello to the Prismm. Try the free trial today.    Hot Market of the Week: Last week Hypepotamus highlighted a product doing close to $10k MRR in the content marketing space called SuperCopy. Their CEO, Richard Lee from Georgia Tech has built a technology that takes a large part of the work load off of generating copy through what the industry and market it calling it “AI Content.” SuperCopy combines intent, tone of voice, demographic, and keywords for endless unique content. As that product was plastered across inboxes via Hype last week, just this week Jasper an AI Content software solution raised $125M at a unicorn priced valuation to generate content for blog articles, social media posts, website copy and more. And it was just released via Twitter but Lex.Page which has a waitlist of over 25,000 folks for Nate Baschez's new product. We put a link to his product demo in the show notes. So what is the excitement around content, AI, and marketers? The fight for eyeballs and ears is vivacious and any edge to produce more content in less time while maintaining, or enhancing the quality is going to produce substantial buzz. Check all of them out in the show notes below.  Companies Worth Applying Too: The popular pizza joint, Glide Pizza, started by Rob Birdsong (my older brother) is looking for an Ops Manager. They just opened their second location in Decatur and have plans to continue growth on the West Side and hopefully, eventually Buckhead or Brookhaven. With all that expansion on the horizon, they are looking for someone who makes sure all the trains or dough is tossed on time and nuts and bolts are as tight as possible around the early processes defined. If you're an operationally focused individual who loves physical locations and food, check out Glide Pizza and their growing enterprise.   Annnnd, that's 5 minutes.

He also talks about three essential learnings in his career. The first one is learning by doing, then focusing on structure, then people, then process. And finally the ability to deal when things go wrong, as David says: “It's not people that fail. It's the process”He told Ryan about the kaikaku and kaizen concepts in Japanese production philosophy, which focuses on continuous self-improvement. Kaikaku means a radical change, during a limited time. Kaizen, on the other hand, is a system of incremental system changes.Links Check out Who Stole My Customer?: Winning Strategies for Creating and Sustaining Customer LoyaltyConnect with David through his LinkedIn hereYou can find us hereWebsite: https://thebreakthrough.coLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/the-breakthrough-companyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebreakthroughco/Podcast: https://thebreakthrough.co/podcast/

The Great Resignation is the idea that after the Covid pandemic, people re-evaluated their lives and left their jobs en masse. It sounds like a cultural movement where people don't want to work anymore, but really, that's just an excuse used by employers.In this week's podcast, Mike and Ryan discuss the myth and the copout that helps us avoid evaluating our performance as leaders and managers. The conversation also turns to the latest McKinsey research that confirms the old saying that people don't leave jobs; they leave managers. They share exactly what employees value in their careers and how you can provide this as an employer - and no, it isn't all about money!  Links:Blog The Myth of the Great Resignation, by Mike Ashby, June 2022Research: McKinsey Quarterly ‘Great Attrition' or ‘Great Attraction'?

On this week's episode, Travis and Josiah sit down with Uncle Mike for a fireside chat (without the fire) about all things business.

The guys talk about that transition and what Mike is specifically looking for to move forward.

We've spent the past few months deep in a series on pandemic clarity—hearing intimate stories about people whose relationships to work have changed dramatically over the past two years. But the more we listened to others' stories, the more we realized…it was time to tell our own.In today's episode, Sara is joined by Active Voice operations manager and Strong Feelings producer, Emily Duncan, to talk about their own reckonings with work. From the founding of Active Voice during the pandemic to confronting exploitation in the music industry, they offer glimpses into the reality of being leadership works-in-progress.What we do is really tech and UX and UI focused. But I do think that there's a ton of overlap in multiple industries. And I see myself as having the ability to take some of what I've been learning here and bring it back, take that fire from the Greek gods and bring it back down and share it. If I can come and help educate even just one person on their rights and what they deserve, I think that it will have all been worth it.—Emily Duncan, Ops Manager at Active VoiceLinks:Emily Duncan“Work needs to stay in its place”Active Voice

In this episode, he shares what that looks like. We discuss: -How ops help drive alignment between sales and marketing -Building centers of excellence to improve go-to-market efficiency -The components of a mature ops team -How ops can reduce friction externally and internally Mentioned during the podcast: -Darrell's course: “The Essentials of Marketing Operations” can be found here: https://www.martechalliance.com/training-courses/elearning-marketing-operations Have an idea for a guest or show topic?
