The Real Problem: You’re Paying for Help, But Still Doing the Work
If you find yourself constantly sending reminders, chasing updates, or explaining your goals again and again… you’re not being supported.
You’re being burdened.
Many business owners assume this is normal. But here’s the truth:
You shouldn’t have to lead your marketing agency.
They should be leading you.
According to a 2023 report by Content Marketing Institute, 49% of business owners said they spend more time managing their agency than executing strategy. That’s backwards.
Marketing should be something you delegate with confidence, not something you manage with frustration.
The LEAD Framework™
A simple mindset shift to help you identify whether your agency is truly supporting your business—or just following your instructions.
L – Listen First, Then Guide
Great marketing partners listen closely to understand your business goals. Then, they guide you with clear recommendations and solutions—not just vague ideas or passive responses.
✅ Ask Yourself: Does your agency ask the right questions… or wait for instructions?
E – Execute Without Hand-Holding
An effective team knows how to turn a brief into a campaign—without ten rounds of clarification. If you have to watch over every move, you’re not working with pros. You’re babysitting freelancers.
✅ Ask Yourself: Do you feel relief—or more stress—after assigning a project?
A – Add Value, Not Just Tasks
You don’t just need someone who can design or write. You need people who think strategically and bring insight into what works. If your agency isn’t helping you grow, they’re just doing busywork.
✅ Ask Yourself: When was the last time they made a suggestion that saved you time or money?
D – Drive the Process Proactively
You should never have to ask, “Any update?” A good partner owns the process. They update you, track timelines, and send reminders. They move you forward without needing to be pushed.
✅ Ask Yourself: Are you always following up—or do they keep you ahead?
How It Affects Your Business
When your agency isn’t leading, here’s what usually happens:
- Campaigns drag on for weeks with little progress
- You miss out on key dates like holidays, sales windows, and product launches
- You waste time micromanaging what should already be done
- You feel alone in making key marketing decisions—even though you’re paying for “help”
And worst of all, your brand begins to suffer in silence. Because every delay, weak message, or misaligned post chips away at your momentum.
How POC CLICK Does Things Differently
At POC CLICK, we step up—not wait around.
We offer:
- Strategy-first thinking that guides your brand, not just follows your to-do list
- Clear timelines and ownership of every deliverable
- Fast, proactive communication so you’re always in the loop—without needing to chase
- Real partnership where we think like your internal marketing team, not just a vendor
You won’t have to guess where your project stands. You won’t have to beg for initiative. We lead with clarity, confidence, and accountability.
Training Activity: Spot the Signs of a Passive Agency
Think about your current or past agency and answer honestly:
- Do they reach out to suggest ideas, or only respond when you message them?
- Do you get updates regularly—or only when you ask?
- Do they tell you what’s possible—or just wait for instructions?
- Do they solve problems—or send excuses?
If you said “no” to two or more of these, you’re likely managing them—not the other way around.
Final Thought: Leaders Don’t Have Time to Babysit
You already lead your team, your clients, your operations. You shouldn’t also be leading your marketing agency.
It’s time to work with a partner that drives progress—not one that drags you back.
❓ Are you leading your agency—or is it time to work with one that leads you?
