Why We Only Take 8 Clients at a Time
Growth as a Service only works if we can actually run your growth function well. Why we cap capacity and what that means for you.
Robbie Jack•Nov 20, 2024When I tell people we cap our client roster at eight companies, they usually think it's a marketing gimmick. It's not. It's the only way Growth as a Service actually works.
The Math Behind the Limit
Running growth isn't advising on growth. Consultants can have dozens of clients because they show up for a few hours, share frameworks, and leave you to implement. We're the opposite. We're in your ad accounts daily. We're writing your content. We're building your attribution stack. We're the ones actually doing the work.
That takes time. Real time. Not "review the dashboard once a week" time, but "catch the campaign that's bleeding budget at 2pm on a Tuesday" time.
Eight clients is the maximum where we can genuinely operate as an extension of your team without spreading ourselves thin. Go beyond that, and quality drops. Response times slip. The proactive work that makes the difference stops happening.
Operators vs. Advisors
There's a fundamental difference between someone who tells you what to do and someone who does it with you. Most agencies and consultants operate in advisor mode: they audit your funnel, hand you a deck of recommendations, and wish you luck with implementation.
We operate in operator mode. We don't just identify that your creative is fatiguing. We produce the new variants. We don't just flag that your tracking is broken. We fix it. We don't just suggest you need better landing pages. We build them.
This requires a completely different level of engagement. And it's why capacity limits aren't optional for us. They're structural.
What "Limited Availability" Actually Means
When we say we have limited spots, we mean exactly that. We maintain a waitlist. We turn away companies that would be good fits. We sometimes ask potential clients to wait months for an opening.
This isn't artificial scarcity. It's respect for the work and for our existing clients. The companies paying us deserve our attention. Taking on too many would mean serving no one well.
How This Benefits You
If you work with us, you get a team that's genuinely invested in your growth. Not stretched across twenty other accounts. Not distracted by trying to win their next client while servicing you. Check if you're an ideal fit for our model.
You get proactive communication. You get problems caught before they become expensive. You get the senior attention that agencies promise but rarely deliver because they're scaling accounts faster than they're scaling capability.
We'd rather do exceptional work for eight companies than mediocre work for twenty. And the results reflect that.
The Trade-Off We've Accepted
Could we grow faster by taking more clients? Absolutely. Would we make more money in the short term? Probably.
But we've built something that works. The capacity limit isn't a constraint we're trying to escape. It's a principle we designed around. Every system, every workflow, every hire has been optimized for doing deep work with a small number of clients.
That's the model. Take it or leave it. If you want a partner who's genuinely embedded in your growth, we might be a fit. If you want a vendor you can throw money at and hope for results, there are plenty of those out there.
We just won't be one of them. Read more about how we run growth for 8 clients to understand our operating system.
