Agency operations
Build an agency tech stack without tool sprawl
A good agency stack supports the way work moves through the business. Start with the jobs that need to happen, then decide whether one platform or several focused tools should handle them.
Map the core jobs
- Lead capture and CRM
- Sales pipeline
- Email and messaging
- Scheduling
- Marketing automation
- Client access and reporting
- Review processes where relevant
Find expensive handoffs
Every connection between tools creates another place for data or workflow problems. Integrations should earn their complexity.
