Systems and processes are a tough nut to crack for agency owners, and it's even more challenging once you get clients involved. Many of us are accidental agency owners who thrive in the chaos and disarray of agency life but know that operating this way will reduce profitability. This week, we're sitting down with Xenia Muntean to share her journey of becoming an accidental agency owner and what it taught her about agency systems and processes as she began to build her own workflow software. We dug into some meaty topics that I know are on your minds: How do we balance creativity with structure? Is it possible to have systems and processes without stifling innovation? We explored how bringing clients into the process earlier — especially for social media work — can lead to faster approvals and better profitability. Systems and processes can be the bane of most agency owners' existence. But with the right mindset and tools to get the job done, it can open the door to increased profitability and happier clients.

Am vorbit despre cât de mult contează educația și comunitatea în care crește o companie, despre cum să îți împingi și depășești limitele, despre mentalitatea de a face mult când nu ai nimic, despre cum să pui la cale micile experimente care construiesc un succes, despre scalare, construcția unei echipe, alegerea atentă a mizelor și propria ei filozofie de business și de viață.

Planable este un startup care poate părea straniu în ecosistemul local. E profitabil, a ajuns pe break even acum 3 ani, a luat o singură investiție. Am vorbit cu Xenia Muntean, cofondatoare și CEO, despre traseul Planable și cum dorește startup-ul să devină o unealtă universală pentru scrierea colaborativă de conținut. Planable a început prima oară în jurul anului 2018. La început era o unealtă pentru management social media, unde agențiile și brandurile puteau conlucra mai ușor. Să înlocuiască un plan de social media realizat în Excel. Astăzi Planable a crescut, iar de curând au lansat în variantă de test și un produs pentru realizarea colaborativă a conținutului, fie că vorbim de newslettere, texte pentru blog sau mesaje de marketing. Astfel, Planable se transformă într-o platformă colaborativă pentru orice tip de conținut. Am discutat cu Xenia Muntean despre traseul companiei și ce urmează.

BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER: The #1 cause of bad sleep Show Notes "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." - Simon Sinek Are you running a digital marketing agency or curious about running one? This week, The Entrepreneurial You podcast invites Xenia Muntean to talk about how to do so successfully. Here is a snippet of what xenia shared: “You can get a niche based on the platforms you are going to do the digital marketing on WordPress or if you're a social media marketing agency. Are you going to do Instagram or are you going to do Twitter? If you focus yourself on a platform, you get the chance to better understand the nuances of just that 1 platform rather than trying to figure them all out. I think that's really great in identifying a niche beside the depth of knowledge. It also gives you a competitive edge because you can get all the clients in that specific industry; It also makes onboarding so much easier because clients are so similar between each other. It also makes targeting in terms of sales easier because you have a clear persona. So I think that's one of the things, identifying a niche and then obviously you have to establish your own digital presence.” Listen to the episode and let us know what is your biggest takeaway.
