Most agencies don’t fail because of bad marketing.
They fail because their systems, positioning, and sales processes are broken.
In this episode of The Takeover, we sit down with Alisha Conlin-Hurd to talk about what’s actually working in today’s agency landscape, from paid ads and funnel strategy to sales psychology, niche selection, and scaling without burning out.
Alisha shares how she went from cold calling and telco sales to launching hundreds of funnels across 120+ niches, building a 7-figure agency, and coaching agency owners around the world.
