WP Engine\u2019s Growth Suite<\/a>, a solution built for growing agencies and freelancers, brings all of these processes together under one roof. With an intuitive dashboard to help you see trends and understand revenue streams in more detail, Growth Suite makes it easy for you to keep track of your clients and most importantly, make money for the services you\u2019re selling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n While managing these processes using a single solution is ideal, each of these areas can provide excellent opportunities for better organization and streamlined growth within your agency or freelance business. Here\u2019s a closer look at how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gaining a bird\u2019s-eye-view into your revenue stream is one of the best ways to start growing your business more effectively. With a clear look at clients that pay promptly, hosting revenue insights, and projects that generate more profit, you can better plan for trends, and start making data-informed decisions around your services and business strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have a number of choices when it comes to accounting software or even DIY approaches to help you gain a central view of your revenue stream, and Growth Suite<\/a> is indeed an excellent option here as well. What\u2019s most important is that you gain that unified view and you begin tracking it over time for insights and trends that can help guide your business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you do, you\u2019ll be able to put a plan in place that leads to consistent MRR, bringing in predictable revenue each month that you can continue building on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you first start taking on clients, you may be inclined to accommodate individual payment and invoicing requests. That might work at first, but managing clients with separate, disjointed billing processes is a recipe for frustration (at the very least) as you continue to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Streamlining billing and invoicing into a single, reliable, and simple process helps you reduce confusion and ensure that you\u2019re getting paid for all of the work you do. Setting that process up now, even if it feels time-consuming, will pay dividends later.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you\u2019re eager to please each client, you may have been willing to expand the definition of your services as you\u2019ve taken on new projects. While accommodating client needs is certainly important, you also need to set boundaries and clearly-defined parameters for what one service is and what others are not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By clearly defining your list of services, going as far as to delineate tiered offerings, where applicable, you can more effectively provide those services at scale, and set expectations from the beginning of a client relationship as to what will or won\u2019t be included in your scope of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only will this save you time and confusion down the line, it also makes billing and invoicing more effective, and provides welcome transparency to both you and your clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every one of your clients is unique, you get that \u2014 that\u2019s why they\u2019re your clients, but how do you continue providing them with the attention they need as you land more business? <\/p>\n\n\n\n For starters, make sure you have an organized ledger of all client accounts, following the same format for each. This way, you have always have detailed client information at your fingertips\u2014 no chasing emails or random documents as you prep for your next call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another method used by many agencies is to offer clients their own individual portal, where they can access the portfolio of work you\u2019ve done for them, view and submit payments, and contact you, as needed. This offers each of your clients a white-glove level of service that keeps them connected to you and the work you\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Managing it all under your own brand is the cherry on top. By providing clients with their own individual digital space, temporary domains, and even email communications within your agency-branded client portal, they will feel like you\u2019re on Madison Avenue, even if you\u2019re just a couple of streets off Main Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Focusing on the above suggestions will go a long way in helping you manage your clients while keeping track of all of the services you\u2019re providing as your business grows. The last ingredient is making sure the work you\u2019re doing and the sites you\u2019re building are all hosted on a fast, reliable platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By streamlining your client management processes using Growth Suite<\/a>, you can crush all of the above processes while also benefiting from the features that come with a world-class managed hosting platform, including blazing fast site speeds, super-secure infrastructure, collaborative workflow tools, and 24\/7 support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This combination of robust client management tools together with industry-leading performance offers a one-two punch for agencies looking to grow. With clear organization and professional-grade hosting backing up your agency or freelance business, you can embrace new clients with confidence and take your growth to the next level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019re an agency owner or a freelancer who\u2019s quickly adding new clients to your portfolio, you know that growth can be a tricky process.
