When an agency owner wants to make an important decision on behalf of the agency, such as what services to offer, or even whether to sell the business, it’s their decision to make.

But if you have one or more partners, now you have to reach a consensus. And if you don’t have alignment among all partners, coming to agreement on anything will be hard, and potentially detrimental to the success of the agency and the partners themselves.

How can you identify these kinds of issues before they arise, and if you’re already in conflict with your partners, what should your next steps be?

That’s what Karl Heasman is here to help us with.

Karl spent 25 years in the agency business, successfully exited despite having partner challenges of his own, and has since gone on to coach and mentor dozens of other agency owners and partners going through similar situations. He works with ambitious digital, marketing, and communications agencies, typically between $500k and $5m in revenue, to help them achieve their goals. Whether that be helping them navigate through a rapid period of growth, kickstarting the business after flatlining for years or preparing for a more successful exit. He’s an invaluable partner to help other agency owners tackle their growth challenges.
