Description
The Pro Serv Podcast is for founders of boutique professional service firms who want to grow, scale, and exit. Hosted by Collective 54, each episode features a real founder case study from consulting, marketing and advertising agencies, IT service firms, financial service firms, accounting and law firms, architecture and engineering firms, and design firms. Listeners learn how founders solve the biggest challenges in professional services: acquiring, retaining, and growing clients, client and employee satisfaction, pricing, compensation, competition, staffing and utilization, client concentration, founder dependency, profitability, succession, and exit readiness.
