With Karl Sakas

Agency Value Advisor, Sakas & Company

Growth should create more freedom—not more dependence on you.

Yet many agency owners find themselves working harder as the agency grows. More clients. More decisions. More approvals. More problems that somehow make their way back to the owner.

In this practical session, Karl Sakas will share how agency owners can identify where they're the bottleneck, clarify what truly requires their involvement, and make smarter decisions about what (and how) to delegate next.

If you're tired of feeling like everything depends on you, this session will help you identify the next steps toward a stronger, more scalable agency.
