About this episode
Preston and Clay explore the impact of presenting oneself as a freelancer versus an agency on client acquisition.
Amy Bridges posed a simple question in the Milo Mastermind community and it sparked a conversation Preston and Clay couldn’t let go: does presenting yourself as a freelancer or as an agency actually make a difference in closing clients? The answer turns out to be more nuanced than a simple either/or. In this episode, Preston and Clay dig into the psychology of the sales pitch, why individual trust almost always drives the buying decision, and how the structure you choose—solo or team—should match the kind of client you actually want to work with.
