El cuello de botella al escalar una agencia está en la capacidad operativa y el equipo, no en las ventas

Escalar un negocio de servicios exige resolver la entrega y retener al talento delegando en perfiles complementarios para desacoplar al fundador de la ejecución técnica y del día a día. La rentabilidad y la calidad dependen de priorizar clientes con presupuestos altos frente a cuentas pequeñas que demandan un soporte desproporcionado respecto al margen real generado. Mientras algunas fuentes proponen limitar la cartera a un modelo boutique con una alta proporción de personal por cuenta, otras advierten sobre cuellos de botella estructurales por costes fijos entre los 10 y 15 millones o sobre la eventual internalización del servicio por parte del cliente al madurar.

Where if somebody left, I wasn't back in doing that one thing again. And there was a bit of crossover.

as you scale your return on ad spend will decrease if my overall profit number not as a percentage as a number is significantly better. Much better to generate a 4x return on ad spend spending a million dollars a month than a 10x return on ad spend spending $10,000 a month. You make a lot more money at the lower return on ad spend number because you've achieved scale.
