You’re making it work. Just like most 'business' owners I meet.

But the truth?

You haven’t built a real business yet.

- You’re talented
- You’ve got some clients
- You know how to get results

But your sales call calendar? 
The inconsistent revenue? 
The never ending slack messages?

That’s the real problem.

Most agency owners I work with want three things:

1) Consistent pipeline with high quality leads
2) A team to delegate client work
3) Clarity on what to work on when

A business that works for you. Not a job.

Here’s how I help:

1) We position you to win premium retainers
2) We install a lead gen system to fill up your calendar
3) We fix your calendar so you can lead like a real CEO

And we do it together in a focused 90 day sprint

No fluff. No cookie-cutter advice. 

Just real support that drives results.

Here’s what that looks like:

📌 Tanner: From $15K with 1 client → $30K/month, in 4 months
📌 Sam: Doubled his agency and hired a new team in 90 days
📌 Tobi: Went from freelancer to $30K/month with A+ clients
📌 Alex: Scaled from $12k to $70k in 4 months
📌 Stephen: Scaled from $10k to $18k by increasing prices 
📌 Sammy: Grew by over 50% in 60 days and hired a team

And I’ve also done it all myself. Twice.

Built two 7-figure agencies from scratch.

Now I coach high-performing remote agency founders like you to do the same.

Minus the mistakes I made (LOL)

So if you’re:

- Running a marketing agency
- Already at $5K+/month
- Ready to grow without losing your sanity

→ Hit the ‘Book an Appointment’ button at the top of my posts

And let’s build the agency you actually want.

From $2K/month to outside Alex Hormozi's HQ.

Here's the roadmap of how he did it.

It didn't start in Vegas.
It started with a 21 year old called Victor Moen who'd been "an entrepreneur" since 15…
and felt like he'd failed at everything.

Marketing agencies.
Drop shipping.
Websites.
Nothing worked.

He was waking up depressed, scrolling YouTube,
waiting for the next hack to save him.

Then he built his affiliate agency
and stopped trying to figure it out alone.

When he finally got the structure he'd been missing,
he made 10k in 10 days from one action item he didn't even know existed.

He took the money, booked a flight,
and walked into Hormozi's workshop with his hands shaking.

What changed him wasn't hype.
It was finally doing the fundamentals he'd avoided for years.

And that's why we built the Agency Scaling Roadmap.
For the Victors of the world who have the drive… but no structure.

Inside the Roadmap:

• Financial engine (cash, margins, risk)
• Growth engine (cold email, LinkedIn, sales)
• Operational systems
• Hiring and delegation
• Long term authority and retention

If you want it, comment "Roadmap" in the comments and I'll send it over.
You must be connected with me to receive it.

PS. The roadmap is built to take your agency to $100k per month.

You think your LinkedIn content isn't working.
458 views. 5 likes. 1 comment.

But here's what you can't see:

The ideal client you've been looking for...

1) They've read your last 12 posts. 
2) They've visited your profile 5 times. 
3) They've screenshot your frameworks. 
4) They've forwarded your content to their team.

But... They've never engaged once.

Not a single like. 
Not one comment. 
Nothing in your DMs.

Here's the problem:

They won't make the first move.

This is why you can't just post and pray.

1) Check who viewed your profile → DM them 
2) See who followed you this week → DM them
3) Notice someone's read multiple posts → DM them

Not the people commenting "Great post!" (They're just bots)

The silent ones. 
The lurkers. 
The profile viewers who never engage.

They're your hottest leads.

I messaged 25 of these people last week:

7 responded
4 booked calls
1 became a client

All from people who never liked a single post.

Your content brings them to the door. 
But you still have to open it.

Stop waiting for them to book a call. 
They won't.

Start conversations with your silent audience. 
That's where the real money is.

Founder - Customers Who Click | CRO for eCom brands - turning traffic into customers using "The U.A.M Method"

Most DTC brands want to scale their paid media. But few focus enough on converting that traffic.  

Customer acquisition costs are rising, and while brands invest heavily in driving traffic, too many are wasting thousands of dollars sending traffic to friction-heavy, confusing websites with poor user experiences.  

The brands that win are not just the ones with the best ads. 

They are the ones that ensure every click leads to a seamless, high-converting customer journey from the first visit through to repeat purchases.  

Yet, many brands still rely on best practices, gut instinct, or copying competitors instead of using real customer insights to optimise their websites and landing pages.  

This is where CRO comes in.  

Through data-driven research, behavioural psychology, and rigorous testing, we help brands remove friction, increase conversion rates, and maximise revenue from their paid traffic.  

Giving them room to scale comfortably, and profitably.

At Customers Who Click, we specialise in turning more visitors into buyers, helping ambitious e-commerce brands scale profitably and sustainably.  

We’ve helped businesses see real improvements, like:

🚀 MOD Lighting added $3,300,000 in additional annual revenue.
🚀 Ozarke saw an increase in Revenue Per User of 37.8%.
🚀 Groove increased conversion by 53% and AOV by 23% in 6 months.
🚀 D.Louise added $372,000 in revenue from their existing traffic.
🚀 neat. Doubled AOV and increased revenue by 102.3% with bespoke landing pages.

If you want to get the most from your paid media and scale efficiently, let’s talk.

Will Laurenson

I didn’t expect to be posting about a toothbrush on LinkedIn.

But here we are.

I picked up a SURI brush recently and honestly, it’s one of the best product experiences I’ve had in a long time.

The box feels premium.
The unboxing is clean and intuitive.
The emails are thoughtful and well-paced.
The product itself? Genuinely beautiful.

Most oral care brands stick to the clinical, sterile category norms.

SURI went the other way.

They’ve clearly thought through every touchpoint. not just how it looks, but how it feels.

And that’s what stood out most.

This isn’t about branding for the sake of it. It’s about consistency.

Every interaction from first click to first brush reinforces the same message:

“This is a better experience.”

Founders and marketers: it’s a great reminder that brand isn’t just what you say.

It’s how everything feels.

Please please please stop with the deliberately manipulative marketing.

You're harming your brand for a few discounted sales and making the industry look bad.

Fake apology emails suck

and I've even had a brand send whats supposed to be an internal discount to thank staff.

Even if it's legit, thanking your staff for their hard work with a discount on your own store just sucks.

Do better.

Scaling DTC Brands With CRO 2.0 - Revenue, not just Conversions | Host of Customers Who Click 🎙️ (500,000+ downloads)

Everyone's gearing up for Black Friday.

Except half the brands I've spoken to recently.

They're sitting it out. On purpose.

Not because they can't compete on price. Not because they don't have the inventory.

But because they've done the math on what discounting actually costs them.

One founder told me: "We spent three years building a premium brand. Why would I train customers to wait for 40% off?"

Another said their November sales are far more profitable without Black Friday. No discount hunters. Just customers who value what they make.

And honestly? It makes sense.

When you compete on price, you're playing someone else's game. 

But when you compete on brand value, on the feeling, the story, the experience - you're playing your own game.

The brands opting out aren't missing out. They're doubling down on what actually matters to their customers.

Quality over quantity.
Experience over discount.
Brand value over race to the bottom.

Black Friday isn't wrong. But it's not mandatory either.

Sometimes the best strategy is knowing which games not to play.

Do yourself a favour this Black Friday - double, triple check your discounts setup.  

This is one of the most critical times of year for e-commerce brands. Missing a detail could cost you thousands.  

Ask yourself:  

- Will your discounts combine with sale pricing?  
- Do you have free gift logic that might overwrite existing offers?  
- Is your welcome offer valid alongside Black Friday deals?  

Small issues like an auto-applying free gift stopping customers from benefiting from Black Friday discounts can ruin sales.  

Take the time now to review your setup, don’t let technical glitches mess up your biggest selling period.  

A little prep goes a long way to maximise revenue and deliver a smooth customer experience.  

Remember, the devil's in the details. 

Better safe than sorry.

This is your last chance to grab the DTC Subscription Playbook.

Most brands think the job ends at the sign-up.

But the best subscription businesses know the real work starts after that.

From acquisition → onboarding → retention, every stage should be engineered to deliver ongoing value.

That’s why I partnered with Loop Subscriptions, Tobi Chapman, and Nativ Yanko to build this:

30+ pages of frameworks, strategies, and examples from teams doing it right.

You’ll learn how to:

👉 Attract better-fit customers with smarter offers
👉 Convert more browsers into subs through testing
👉 Use Loop’s “Two-Way Retention System” to reduce churn
👉 Build a loyalty flywheel that compounds revenue

If you run a DTC brand or work with subscription clients, this will sharpen your strategy fast.

Founder @ Everboost | Scaling DTC Brands Profitably with Retention Marketing

Innovative AI-informed Ad Creative For 8-Figure DTC Brands | Founder of NSY

Ever tried selling natto kinase to a US consumer?

It’s not easy, but Christiana Valenzuela is doing it with style and strategy.

She’s the Marketing Director at Crane Wellness, a Japanese supplement brand that’s grown from a Wix site with a couple orders a month…to becoming one of the fastest-growing brands in their space.

I had her on the pod to unpack:

→ How she rebuilt the entire brand for a Western DTC audience

→ Why 60% of last year’s revenue hit in just one week

→ And how they’re using AI tools + relentless testing to scale with a team of just five

Christiana also breaks down:

- Why educational emails are crushing promos
- How she’s turning obscure ingredients into SEO gold
- And why they’re front-loading ad spend before Black Friday…and retargeting hard in January

It’s one of the most tactical brand-builder convos I’ve had recently, especially if you’re trying to do more with less, launch in a new market, or ditch the discount-first mindset.

P.S. Christiana still takes phone orders from customers who don’t want to buy online. Wellness ecom isn't your typical funnel…

Quick win idea in the run up to Black Friday:

If someone returns to your website and has something in their cart...

Open that cart immediately to show them.

So many people forget they've already put a cart together, or forget what they were looking at before.

If you've got your carts set to retain the contents indefinitely then you might even find people coming back after months and they'll get a reminder of why they were there last time.

This is especially powerful now in the run up to Black Friday.

If you are going to be running a deal in the coming weeks, get this in place, and then email your list to let them know about it, and to prepare their carts in advance.

This will work really well for anything that is actually limited or exclusive

Everyone likes to do a bit of window shopping

So encourage them to do it now while they aren't overwhelmed

Tell them to build the cart of their dreams.

When you drop the Black Friday sale they'll all come back to the website to see their existing cart

and its just the 1 click to get to checkout.

Smooth, seamless, and a great way to build up attention ahead of Black Friday.

(p.s. you might need to alter your abandoned cart settings though)

We've got space to set this up for 5 brands before Black Friday - want to be 1 of them? DM me now.

This will be going out in our newsletter later today and I fully expect all 5 spaces to go, so don't miss out - DM me now.

Want to be a great podcast guest?

After 270 episodes of Customers Who Click, this is one of the most common questions I get.

So here’s what I tell guests before we hit record 👇

1. Quiet space

If there’s building work going on, we’ll just reschedule. Background noise doesn’t always get picked up, but if it’s distracting you, it’ll affect how you come across.

2. Strong connection

Good wifi is fine, wired is better. Tech issues kill momentum fast.

3. Minimise distractions

Close Slack. Mute notifications. Switch off your phone. Simple stuff, but you'd be surprised how often it gets forgotten.

4. Use headphones

Echo can be brutal for editing, especially if you're on a laptop mic.

5. It’s a conversation, not an interview

Don’t just answer and wait for the next question. Share your thoughts, ask questions back, go deeper.

6. Let the host contribute

The best episodes feel like a real back-and-forth. Ask the host what they think, chances are, they’ve got strong views too.

7. Give detail, give examples

Don’t just say what worked, share how you figured it out. What surprised you? What went wrong first?

8. And don’t worry about messing up

We edit. If you want to start again or rephrase something, just pause and go for it.

If you’ve never done a podcast before, or you’re a bit nervous, just remember:

It’s not live.
It’s not a stage.
It’s just a chat.

And if you’re ever on Customers Who Click, you’ll be in good hands.

Thank you Sanjay Jenkins for a great conversation yesterday and this incredible thumbnail Riverside created😂

Your legal team will hate me for this...

But your lawyer's job is to stop you getting sued.

Not to get you sales.

They'll always err on the side of caution. Always ask you to throw up walls. Create extra friction.

Because every day you don't get sued, they're justifying their jobs.

Here's what this overprotection actually costs you:

Your cookie popups? Overengineered and damaging conversions.

T&Cs opt-in required to purchase? Overcomplicated and damaging conversions.

Marketing opt-in for abandoned cart? Overkill and damaging conversions.

Just to be clear: I'm absolutely on the side of obeying the law.

But you should be doing the minimum required to stay compliant while protecting your business.

There's a difference between being reckless and being strategic.

Smart businesses know where that line is.

The brands winning right now? They're not the ones with the most cautious legal team.

They're the ones who understand actual risk vs perceived risk.

Your lawyer keeps their job.
You lose the sale.

Guess who wins?

A $9M lighting brand came to us convinced they needed a sales team for B2B orders.

They were ready to hire 3 people, build a CRM, create sales decks - the whole expensive circus.

Here's what we did instead:

Added one form to their site: "Buying for a Business?"

That's it.

The form collected:
- Company details
- Order requirements  
- Preferred contact method

Then routed everything to their existing customer service team.

No new hires.
No complex B2B portal.
No 6-month implementation.

First month results:
→ 47 B2B inquiries
→ $73k in bulk orders
→ Zero additional headcount

But here's what really surprised them:

Most business buyers never even used the form.

They just bought directly through the site like regular customers. They didn't want special treatment or negotiated pricing.

They wanted simplicity.

The form just gave them confidence that B2B was welcome.

Sometimes the solution isn't adding complexity.

It's removing the friction you didn't know existed.

That lighting brand saved $180k/year in salaries they didn't need.

And captured $800k in B2B revenue they were already losing.

All from one form and a mindset shift.

Stop solving problems with headcount.

Start solving them with clarity.

I didn’t think anyone wanted to hear from a “CRO guy.”

But here’s what happened when I started showing up consistently:

- Grew to 15,000 followers
- Hit 500,000+ podcast downloads across 275 episodes
- Built an email list of 7,500+ from CRO content
- Invited to speak at industry events, webinars, and panels
- Guests now ask to come on the podcast
- Worked with 100+ brands across DTC
- Built a steady inbound pipeline, no more chasing leads
- Met sharp people I now learn from weekly

And most of that came from simply sharing what I was doing, testing, and learning.

To think…I almost didn’t bother posting at all.

If you’ve been lurking or second-guessing whether your insights matter, they probably do.

Just gotta hit publish and see what happens.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who's supported me along the way, you know who you are 😘

The overlooked channel that’s quietly delivering 4–6x ROAS...

Just gone live: a new episode of the Customers Who Click podcast with Neal Goyal, SVP at PostPilot.

Neal's one of the loveliest guys in ecom, full of great energy, and it was a pleasure to chat with him.

We explored how direct mail is changing in today’s ecommerce landscape.

With rising customer acquisition costs and ROAS on digital ads top of mind right now, brands are realising that long-term profitability depends on relationships, not just quick wins.

From retargeting anonymous visitors to de-anonymising web traffic with first-party data, brands are finding new ways to make physical mail a powerful growth channel - beyond just retention.

Some key insights from the episode:

- Generic blast campaigns no longer work. Personalisation and emotional impact drive better responses.

- Sending personalised, relevant messages can deliver 4–6x ROAS on lapsed customers.

- Physical mail is no longer just for retention, it’s a scalable acquisition channel.

- AI and data are enabling direct mail to be targeted, measurable, and more effective than ever.

- In an AI-first world, tangible, physical touchpoints offer irreplaceable advantages.

- Despite challenges like margin pressure and rising ad costs, customer experience and retention are critical to long-term success.

I really enjoyed this chat, and I think you’ll love it too.

7-8 figure brands are burning 40% of their ad spend on a broken funnel.

And they don't even know it.

I ran the numbers for a brand last week. They were spending $100k/month on ads with a 2.2% conversion rate.

Solid traffic. Great creative. Decent CTR.

But their funnel? A leaky bucket hemorrhaging potential customers.

Here's what the math revealed:

If they improved conversion from 2.2% to just 3.2%, they'd add $4.3 million in annual revenue.

Same traffic.
Same ad spend.
Same product.

That's not a tweak. That's a whole new growth trajectory.

Most people think CRO is about button colors and headline tests.

The reality is that a proper CRO programme uncovers what actually makes people buy

and then systematically optimises every part of the funnel around those behaviours.

Not guesses
Not "best practises"
Not surface-level tweaks

Real customer insight that compounds across the entire buying journey.

Meanwhile, people are chasing:

- New ad platforms (6 months to profitability)
- $100k redesigns that don’t fix the fundamentals
- Gimmicky apps that promise conversion lifts but only eat margin

When the answer is sitting right there in their existing traffic.

The worst part?

They think their 2.2% is "industry standard."

But I've seen the same products, same price points, same audiences converting at 4-5% with proper CRO.

That's the difference between scaling profitably and burning cash.

Stop thinking of CRO as just conversion optimisation.

Start thinking of it as Customer Revenue Optimisation - the foundation that makes everything else work.

Because without it, you're just paying Facebook to send visitors to a leaky bucket.

‘Hey Will we run AI powered cold outreach…’

Proceeds to add nothing remotely attention catching.

No thanks.

If you want to grow your DTC brand in 2026, forget chasing the latest tactics.

Focus on the fundamentals that actually move the needle.  

I just released a new episode of the Customers Who Click podcast with Sanjay Jenkins, Head of Growth at Replo. 

Sanjay built a nine-figure soap company in 14 months by controlling every part of the operation during COVID. Now, he’s helping brands optimise their websites and maximise conversions without needing to be a developer.  

Here’s what he shares:  

- Building a nine-figure brand is about timing, speed, and control.

- Controlling your supply chain and margins beats fancy ads every time.

- AI and automation are helpful, but they won’t replace excellence in execution.

- Many brands waste money on traffic and overlook the backend: supplier deals, pricing, operational costs. Small wins here add up.

- Organic video content and authentic storytelling are now some of the strongest growth drivers. You don’t need big budgets, just passion and consistency.

- Growth isn’t about chasing new channels; it’s about improving what you already do well. Landing pages, pricing tests, and operations all matter.  

If you’re serious about sustainable growth that lasts, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Over the last 12 or so months I've been running a bit of an experiment in my personal life.

It involves having shared custardy of the family dog. 

He stays with us for anything from a few days over a weekend, to 5 weeks while my parents are off enjoying a trip to Japan & Korea.

I think I'm now able to state with absolute scientific certainty that everyone should get a dog.

It is 100% the best thing you can do for your mental health, especially if you work from home a lot.

Their very presence brings joy and Charlie loves nothing more than to receive a bit of fuss from random strangers in the pub.

Remember, a dogs not just for Christmas, but it absolutely will be the best gift you ever get

We’re nearing the end of the year. Things are calming down, and we’ve moved past the chaos of Black Friday.

But here's the thing, don't coast for the rest of the year.

It's tempting to start winding down but there’s still plenty of opportunity to make a difference.  

You don’t need to launch new channels or overhaul your Shopify store.

If there’s one thing you focus on before the year ends, make it this:

Improve the customer experience.

Think about the unboxing experience, post-purchase emails, making support easier to reach or streamlining the returns flow.

Ask yourself: "What can we do to make our customers’ lives better?"

That’s the kind of simple, impactful change that pays off long-term.

Don’t let the year close without taking that time.

Your customers will thank you, and so will your revenue.

Keep pushing, even when things slow down.

This post did pretty well, maybe I should just do honest unboxings 😂

Any volunteers to send me some goodies?

The best converting sites do 3 simple things really well:

- Make it stupidly easy to buy
- Make it stupidly easy to understand
- Make it stupidly exciting

That’s Usability, Anxiety, and Motivation

✅ Usability removes friction
✅ Reducing anxiety builds trust
✅ Motivation creates desire

If one is weak, your conversion rate suffers, no matter how much traffic you throw at it and no matter how much you tweak your ads.

Start with this:

 → Walk your own funnel
 → Mark every point of hesitation, confusion, or indifference
 → Fix that first

Stop tweaking headlines and start fixing the actual blockers.
