If you're stuck at capacity, pricing too low, and feel like growth means burnout — this video shows you a smarter path to scale.

In this episode, Mandi Ellefson shares how two consulting firms 2X’d their prices and 6X’d their profits without hiring or hustling harder.

They didn’t need a bigger team — they needed a better offer.

This strategy helped them reposition around outcomes, simplify delivery, and close premium deals with confidence.

If you’re delivering great results but not getting paid what you’re worth — you’ll want to see how they did it.

🔍 You’ll Learn:

• How one shift helped a firm raise pricing from $5K to $10K/month — without resistance
• The framework that drove a 600% profit increase (with the same team)
• Why simplifying delivery actually boosted results and freed up capacity
• How to lead sales conversations with confidence — even at higher fees
• What makes clients say “yes” faster when your value is clear

Are you the one holding your agency together — and holding it back?

If you’ve hired a team, built some systems, and delegated tasks… but you still can’t step away without things stalling — you're not scaling, you're surviving.

In this video, Mandi Ellefson breaks down why founders become the bottleneck in their agency’s growth — even when it looks like they’re doing everything right — and how to fix it.

You’ll learn:

✅ The real reason your team still leans on you for everything

✅ Why systems alone don’t create scale

✅ How to shift from managing work to leading a high-performance team

✅ A case study of a founder who stepped away during a launch — and came back to everything running better without her

✅ What has to change if you want to scale profitably without sacrificing quality or growth

Whether you're stuck in meetings, reviewing work, or constantly catching problems before they hit the client, this is your invitation to finally step out — and level up.

Your $20K proposal isn’t failing because of the price — it’s failing because your consulting firm’s value proposition isn’t landing. And ironically? The same clients who ghost your $20K pitch might eagerly say “yes” to $100K — if you position it the right way.

In this video, Mandi Ellefson shares the agency positioning strategy that helped one firm move from stalled $30K deals to consistently closing $100K+ engagements — with the same clients.

🎯 You’ll learn:

1. Why smaller offers feel riskier than premium ones

2. The #1 reason your “reasonable” price is still getting rejected

3. How to reframe your services into strategic growth outcomes

4. A client-tested approach to selling $100K+ projects with confidence

5. What premium buyers actually look for before they say yes
