He Called It an Agency. In Hindsight It Was Just His Job.

Full transcript of Josh Nelson’s interview with Ricky Shockley. Lightly edited for readability.

Ricky Shockley: Quite literally, our agency has completely changed since joining Seven Figure Agency. Our income has improved. We've been able to do more with charity and giving. My name's Ricky Shockley. We're in the med spa space, and our agency's called Med Spa Magic Marketing. Before joining Seven Figure Agency, we were probably at about a dozen clients, and I called it an agency, but in hindsight it was just my job. It wasn't really an agency. And now we're at about forty clients doing close to a hundred thousand dollars a month in revenue. The main challenge I was facing when we joined the group was that we just didn't know where our next client was coming from. There was uncertainty. It was word of mouth and referrals, and that doesn't really make scaling and growth very predictable. Quite literally, our agency has completely changed since joining Seven Figure Agency. We took our legacy agency, which was my job. That's borderline down to zero. We still have a few clients that are on our roster, but the majority of our growth came from everything that we learned from the people, the mentors, the coaches, and the systems that are taught in this group, and we're super grateful for Josh, Yesenia, and the whole team. My favorite part of being in Seven Figure Agency is the fact that you have a live time focus group of other people that are doing exactly what you wanna do to bounce all of your ideas, your questions, your concerns, different paths you're exploring off of, and I couldn't even put a price tag on that. It's invaluable to the decisions we're able to make to grow our business and to do better for our clients. I would say the main benefit of the live events, we learn a ton. There's tons of actionable insights. Like, I have a whole n- notebook of things that I wanna do and action steps I wanna take when I get back. But I think most people would agree with this, the motivation. You have a fire in your belly when you come to these events. And half of us, by the time we leave here, we can't wait to get back to our computers and to implement 'cause we have clarity and confidence that these are the things that are gonna allow us to grow our agencies. The growth of our agency for our lives personally, it gives us more flexibility. Our income has improved. We've been able to do more with charity and giving. And so I think it's a ripple effect from the owners, the team you're able to impact with salary increases and raises and benefits, and the lives you're able to impact in your circle, the impacts that you have on your clients' lives, and then ultimately your community. And, yeah, I think it's a massive ripple effect, as Josh talked about, the stuff that comes from the success you see through Seven Figure Agency. In the next six to twelve months in our agency, I'd really like to achieve Titan status, so I'd like to do that as fast as possible, and to me, that means being the face of the brand, continually focusing on marketing, sales, and growth. So I'm confident we can do that, just a matter of time. If you're on the fence about joining Seven Figure Agency, I would not only do it, but I would commit to doing it because there's no chance these strategies don't work. It's not gimmicks. It's not tricks. It's tried and true tactics from successful agency owners that they've used to grow and scale their businesses. So really committing to the process, put- having your back to the wall and saying, "I'm gonna do this. There's no way out," I think success is inevitable.
