I met up with a former client who sold his business and retired. As we chatted away, thought I’d ask him what lessons he learnt building up his business – his response was the talent of the people around him. We talked about how it’s a daunting task choosing a digital agency. Success or failure depends on their ability. Are they the right team, do they have the experience, are they commercially focussed? Have they actually ever sold anything other than themselves.
How do you know if they’re the real deal? But, Google knows the truth about your agencies’ performance, they have all access to analytics and ad accounts to make that call.
When Google’s CEO was called to account before congress, he had to prove Google Ads really does work for business. We had the live feed running in the office, we wanted to see what Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple had to say for themselves. Sundar Pichai started his opening sentence, and a silence fell over the office. What did he say? Kettlebell Kings from Austin,Texas! Rewind the feed, that cannot be right. But Yes, it was, Sundar Pichai CEO of Alphabet, Google’s owners was only using our work and our client, Kettle Bell Kings, in his opening statements to Congress! It had to be beyond special, a business that started out from home and grew to be a Inc 1000 company using Google Ads, the 672 fastest growing business in America!
At Click Convert, we were amazed. Yes, we were already award winning, but of all the digital agencies in America, Google’s CEO chose our show what can be achieved. Talk about a recommendation.
So what is the Kettlebell story? They were a small start up from Austin, Texas, selling Kettlebells to break out from the 9 to 5 grind. The road to success hadn’t started well for Kettle Bell Kings, their first agency wasn’t delivering. High advertising costs and slow sales haunted the start up. They had used a large agency that provided its own unique portal to track performance, but what they didn’t know was that the agency was marking up the bid costs, sometimes as much as 100% plus charging a management fee.
Whilst nervous to switch agencies, we offer to help them better understand what was going on. With a little help it became clear to see the existing agency over charging and weren’t able to deliver sales growth. It’s very common, as most digital marketing people struggle to even work 10% of the time on client accounts – too many meetings, reports and sales pitches. If any agency doesn’t have a sales team, you can bet the sales team is your account manager. Their next sale is more important than your next sale!
We showed how Kettlebell Kings the big picture and how to

It sounds easy, but in truth it took a huge effort, and a focus on the end game that took expertise, talent ( rare in marketing) and dedication.
