It’s Processes from the 4 Ps this month!
If you’ve ever moved houses, you’ve probably experienced the following phenomena:
Wherever you first unpack an item, that is where it will remain for the foreseeable future. Your packet of spare toothbrushes, for example, does not necessarily belong in that box on top of the freezer. However, it will likely stay there for months or even years, because once you’ve put it there, you start to believe it belongs there.
The same can be said for the way we run our agencies.
John might have always been in charge of billing and he might have always done it on a Tuesday, using a certain software. But just because that’s always the way it’s been done, doesn’t mean it’s the best way to do it.

The new year is upon us and with it comes the opportunity to objectively revisit our processes and ask ‘Is there a better way to do this?’
To that end, we wanted to bring the following webinars to your attention in case you missed them at the time. They are designed to help you break into 2024 with the best processes in place.
- Working Towards Year End Finances - all about how to get your finances, including 1099 and taxes so that everything is in place for 2024.
- Month-End Procedures - How to set up vendors, navigate financial reports, and a bunch of other important billing-related processes.
Another worthy way to spend some time at the beginning of this year?
Update your company calendar with this year’s holiday dates so you can plan ahead for project and resource management.

“What’s all this fuss about revenue recognition with agencies? Isn’t revenue recognized when we just bill the client???”
We recently put out a blog on the topic of Marketing Agency Reporting which is a great resource for which types of reports you should be running and how. Check it out to make sure you’re beginning the year on the right foot.
