- You don’t have a leads problem. You have a leverage problem.
You don’t have a leads problem. You have a leverage problem.
Why more leads won’t fix your growth (until you fix your model).
“Just get more leads.”
That was the advice.
Every time I hit a plateau, every time I felt like growth was slowing…
I’d double down on marketing, hire another strategist, or buy another sales funnel course.
But the more leads we got, the worse things got behind the scenes.
Delivery broke.
Scope creep spiked.
The team was burned out.
And me? I was stuck working longer hours to keep it all together.
Until I realized something that changed everything:
It wasn’t a leads problem. It was a leverage problem.
Here’s the truth most agencies don’t hear:
📉 You don’t need more leads.
🧠 You need a model that can handle them.
Let me break it down:
After working with 500+ agencies, I kept seeing the same pattern:
The agency hits $20K–$50K/month and stalls. Why?
Because:
Every new client requires a new proposal
Every engagement has custom scope
Every process lives in the founder’s head
The team can’t make decisions without asking you first
Now throw 10 more leads into that mix…
Boom. Chaos.
That’s why the first step of scale isn’t a sales funnel.
It’s a scalable offer that your team can deliver without you.
🎧 I unpacked this deeply on The Builders Podcast and Creating Powerful Impact — and the agency owners who listened started seeing it clearly too.
“What if it’s not the team or the market... what if the model itself is the bottleneck?”
The agencies that scale don’t:
Chase new marketing channels every month
Live in a constant feast-or-famine cycle
Micromanage delivery because they’re scared of mistakes
Instead, they build:
A clear Minimum Viable Solution
Systems that deliver results without reinventing the wheel
A team trained to operate without constant oversight
And then — when leads come in — they’re ready.
