Calling all agency owners, how’s your daily schedule?
Hey all,
​
I’ve been running my PPC agency for a few years now and I’m looking to see what you guys are doing in your daily schedules, I’ve been recently looking to add more systems to my work routine, and just be a more professional person overall in my day to day life. If anyone has any input below it would be greatly appreciated.

Wake up, open laptop, sense of impending doom, kidding but sometimes it is kinda like that.
I have GDS reports for the accounts I manage and open all as well as multiple email accounts all at once each morning to see what’s going on at a high level. If something looks horrible I’ll work on it right away. I also have a recurring task each week to do a deep dive (aka my biggest trigger word) into each client’s account and send them an update which is typically a 5 to 10 min long Loom video.
From there I have a to-do list of various random shits I have to do. Any free time that I have I use to learn shit. I’m taking CXL courses now and it’s totally worth the $250/mo. Imo learning shit is making money in the future. I’m enhancing my capabilities and adding in more features with the objective of significantly raising my min engagement in the near future.
I’m also in some groups like DGMG on FB and a group of agency owners on Slack so I’m in there as well daily staying up to date on stuff and asking/answering questions.
The above is if I’m not selling. If I’m in sales mode I’m prospecting (sending out Upwork proposals and answering invites), taking calls, making real proposals on proposify, doing account audits (a good strat in my exp is to charge for this but then if they sign to monthly mgmt you discount the price of the audit) but for bigger deals I may just do it for free bc the potential rev is worth the sunk cost.
I also have to do finance stuff like invoices, tracking them to make sure the clients pay up, update my revenue and cost numbers in sheets, check back with my goals to make sure I’m on track. I used to do more random finance shit but I have an accountant now which is good bc I wasn’t 100% sure when doing quarterly tax shit.
For shit that I don’t do like ad design and LP’s I interface with 2 freelancers that I’m using. I’ve been using one of them for almost a year so we have a relatively streamlined process but I typically have edits then have to pass along client edits as well.
There’s more random stuff like ignoring FB and Google zombie reps’ 30 daily emails and calls but that’s been better since I asked them to take me off the call lists.
