We have worked with dozens of startups and new

ground up.

NOT ENOUGH TRAFFIC


Does your client have a decent social media following
but aren’t getting the business they’re looking for? That’s
probably because they aren’t providing enough value
and unique experiences for anyone to give a damn. We
solve that.

BRAND EXPERIENCE AND ENGAGEMENT


If your client is getting decent traction but not seeing
enough of a response from your audience, that’s
because they aren’t asking the right questions. People
love answering questions, so we help craft unique ways
to engage them and test how they respond.

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANAGEMENT


Are people asking your client questions on social

Page 19
POLICIES AND PROMISES
Aside from the first meeting and some early client interactions, all client communication goes
through you save:
• Any image/video/file collaboration,
• And any social media tasks we need to assign to their team to answer that we cannot.

We remove labelling from our proposal and monthly reports, and we operate and can be
referred to as "your social media team" when speaking with the client.

Each client will have their own custom reporting dashboard which can be branded under your
name and shared with them.

We create our own private channels for them in our Slack, and projects in Asana. We can use
any communication or project management tools you'd like as well. The key is that we have a
great level of communication between our agencies to keep both of our time costs low and
efficiency high.

Page 20
HOW IT WORKS
Internally, we assign you a social media manager, and they will be the point of
contact for services and integration.

We work with you to integrate strategy on content, advertising, email and anything
else.

We send you requests to pass to the client as appropriate and we include


suggestions or any budget proposals in our monthly reports which you can modify
and send out as you like.

Page 21
CLIENT COMMUNICATIONS
There are times where we may want to communicate with the client directly, most
specifically we do a 2-hour kickoff meeting that does a deep dive into the clients brand
and voice, audience, business goals, targeting, content, etc.

We typically do 3-4 follow up calls after that, depending on the depth of the brand and the
extent of the services being provided.

From there we may want to participate in any Slack channel or basecamp the client may
be using to manage their team, and we may want to assign the client a role in Hootsuite
or another tool in order to occasionally assign them social media tasks that our team can
not accomplish.

PRICING
“Success is never owned; success is rented, and the rent is due
every day.”
- Rory Vaden

Page 23
WHITE LABEL PRICING
We set our prices at 20% lower than our usual prices (it would be 10% for 1 year for a
referral, here you get 20% markup for life).

You can also propose any prices you'd like to your client on top of that, but we
recommend keeping it at 20% as raising their price but not ours will essentially
increase client expectations and can backfire.

PAYMENT POLICY
As an agency, we always expect payment ahead of services. However, we
understand that you need to get paid before paying us and will give a 10 day grace
period for payment.

We just ask that you have clear communication with your client and us for ensuring
proper flow of payment, or any need for change or cancelling of services.

PROCESS

CONTENT
We’ll consult on the type(s) of content that align the client’s
business goals with audience objectives. If the content being
produced by the client is low quality, the bar must be raised in
order to see maximum results.

STRATEGY
We devise strategies for social media management,
account growth and content promotion in order to
deepen your client’s brand relationship with their
customers and hit our goals and KPIs.

TESTING
We then put everything into a testing framework and
begin testing our strategies. We look to optimize and
adjust as the strategies play out.
