Why We Only Take 2 New Clients a Month
Most social media agencies struggle to maintain quality when onboarding too many clients. Liam and Tess reveal their counterintuitive approach: limiting onboarding to just two new clients per month. This isn’t about scarcity for its own sake, it's a strategic move that boosts client retention, elevates content quality, and ensures a personalised service even as their team grows.In this episode, they break down why quality beats quantity every time. You'll discover how a rigorous onboarding process, a clear cap on new clients, and strategic client selection create a more sustainable, profitable business. They share behind-the-scenes insights on managing multiple packages; from essentials to signature clients, and highlight the importance of patience, alignment, and deliberate decision-making.Want to see what we’re building behind the scenes?Websitehttps://www.hussellup.co.ukFollow us on socialsInstagram. https://www.instagram.com/hussellupsocial/Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/hussellupsocialLinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-hussell-086713311/TikTok. https://www.tiktok.com/@hussellupsocialYoutube. https://www.youtube.com/@Hussellupsocial
