Agency Founder Stack
Take a client from enquiry to accepted delivery.
Work backward from the outcome
Take a client from enquiry to accepted delivery
1. Prepare a realistic example
Create a sample enquiry with a budget, decision maker and requested launch date. Turn it into a scoped project only after the deliverables and revision limit are recorded.
2. Define the handoffs
Keep the agreed scope and approval record in one place; link project tasks to it instead of treating chat messages as acceptance.
3. Rehearse the exceptions
Rehearse a revision request, client approval, invoice and offboarding. A guest for Client A must not see Client B.
4. Budget and keep an exit
Include client guest seats, design editors, invoice fees and time spent maintaining separate workspaces.
Export the project decisions and final assets, remove client access and confirm who owns the domain and source files.
