    Its refreshing to hear advice that is not directed to a sells pitch and having to buy a subscription! Yes you do offer a course but you also point SOLO agents like myself in the right direction. I have created a playlist just for your content! Thanks for all the great advice and will be keeping an eye out for future videos!

    Let's say there's 2 or 3 contractors working on 1 project, maybe a website with a copywriter, a designer and a developer. Are you always the in-between or do you these contractors communicate amongst themselves and move the project forward without your interference?

    • @PaytonClarkSmith
      @PaytonClarkSmith  11 месяцев назад +1

      I recommend finding one contractor that you trust to manage and communicate with clients. Mine are Justin and Fiona and they can run things on their own. Find someone skilled and trustworthy! (It’s worth paying more for someone like this)

    What do you do when a customer asks, "what if you fall sick or go on vacation"? "Who do we go to"?

    • @melos.9
      @melos.9 11 месяцев назад +1

      If you’re sick or on vacation not that often, that’s not a real problem, isn’t it? Also, depending on your business you could work remote when you’re traveling, or maybe working from bed when you’re not too sick.
      When the work you’re doing for someone else could not be done only by yourself alone, you could recommend another person/agency you know or heard of.
      I mean, is that really the case that customers are afraid of that? If you’re sick then the work gets done a week later or so. When the customer is still not happy about that, then it‘s not your customer - you can’t please everyone.
      But I’d love to hear what Payton has to say about this.

    • @PaytonClarkSmith
      @PaytonClarkSmith  11 месяцев назад +4

      I had to learn this the hard way when I got cancer in 2021. Luckily I had some very trustworthy contractors I could rely on. So even when you want to be a true one-person operation, it is always good to have connections with people that can fill in if needed. You will never regret being prepared!
      Thanks for the awesome question!

    • @PaytonClarkSmith
      @PaytonClarkSmith  11 месяцев назад +3

      Also I would add:
      As a solo agency you can choose your schedule and clients are usually really understanding when you just tell them you are going to be traveling or sick. If you know you will be on vacation, just set timelines accordingly

    • @jessewelleman5946
