From the publisher

Welcome to How to Scale an 8-Figure Agency, the show where I break down the exact operational, financial, and AI-driven systems that today’s top marketing agencies use to scale past seven figures — without burning out or getting trapped in fulfillment. Every week, we go deep into: • AI consulting for marketing agencies • Operational infrastructure that actually scales • Building automations, workflows, and agent-based systems • Hiring and training world-class teams • Improving margins, capacity, and client LTV • Turning your agency into an 8-figure operation that runs without you If you’re a founder stuck in the weeds, capped by systems, or wondering how to integrate AI into your agency the right way… this podcast is your blueprint. I’m Jordan Ross — founder of 8 Figure Agency and the person behind hundreds of successful agency scale-ups — and this is where we turn chaos into clarity, and CEOs into true operators. Let’s get into it.

How a 23-Year-Old Klaviyo Agency Hit $500K/Month: Talent Acquisition, Pricing Strategy & the Founder QC System That Scales

Grab free resource here: https://t.co/QyzZzPY7uAMax, founder of WellCopy, runs one of the fastest-growing email and SMS marketing agencies in the e-commerce space — 130+ retainer clients, 70 employees, and a jump from $30K/month to $500K/month in 24 months. He's 23.Jordan sits down with Max to break down exactly how he's doing it — before he hits eight figures — so you can steal what's working.What we cover:— The founder QC system: why Max personally reviews thousands of emails every week and why pulling back too early kills culture before it scales— Talent acquisition at the mid-seven-figure bottleneck: internal recruiters, employee referral programs with tiered incentives, and VSLs for every open role— The 10-80-10 rule for delegating without losing standards— How WellCopy grew from $3.2K to $5.8K average monthly retainer — and why every dollar of that increase is pure margin— Building roles around your people instead of forcing people into roles— Running a month-long waitlist with zero paid ads— Launching a done-with-you coaching program that sold out in 24 hoursThe bottom line: Max's unfair advantage isn't demand — it's standards. And he built those standards by never fully letting go of the work.If you're running a service agency between $1M–$5M and want to build the operational foundation to actually hit eight figures, that's exactly what we work on at 8figureagency.co.Follow Max: Twitter @maxwellcopy | Instagram @wellcopymax | wellcopy.net
