Why time-based pricing doesn’t work for agencies, with Tim Williams

Creative Agency Account Manager Podcast

Welcome to episode 117. This episode is going to be very relevant for you if you're responsible for pricing your agency's services.

I first saw Tim Williams, Founding Partner of Ignition Consulting Group, speak at an IPA conference in London in 2016. He was talking to agency owners about why they needed to ditch the billable hour if they wanted a profitable business. I've been following Tim's work in agency pricing and positioning ever since, and for me, he's been the consistent voice of sanity throughout the years.

Here are just a few of the topics we cover in our chat:

· why the time based billing system doesn't work for agencies.

· how generative AI is only accelerating the need for agencies to rethink their pricing strategies.

· and Tim shares key steps you can take right now to start the transition to premium pricing.

Ignition helps agencies and other professional service firms develop focused business strategies and transformative revenue models. You can follow Tim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timwilliamsicg/
