If you’ve hired a COO, Director of Ops, or Head of Operations—and they’ve failed to get traction or scale your backend—this is your wake-up call.
Jordan Ross breaks down the real reason marketing agencies, SMMAs, and ad agencies keep cycling through operators who never quite “get it.” Spoiler: most operators are trained to manage, not architect. And if you don’t hire or train for system design, you’re setting them (and your agency) up for failure.

“Most operators are trained to manage systems, not build them. If you don’t hire for architecture, you’ll keep stalling at $2M–$5M forever.”
