Starting a Sales Agency in 2025

Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2025 is good to you. I am starting a Sales Agency and I wanted to post here on a weekly basis to share my progress, get some ideas and keep me honest. I have sales experience in financial services, telecoms and insurance but I know the field can humble you if you don’t get abreast of current trends and methodologies. I may have some experience but this is the first time I am venturing out on my own and thus, it’s a bit unnerving. Here’s what I have done thus far: - Spent the last 3 months reading, researching and watching a ton of Youtube videos and hearing from current players - Decided on a niche on which to focus - Registered my company - Registered domain name and created a website with social media pages - soft tested an Upwork resource who will help me with email marketing and cold calling. He worked on a 2nd business of mine from October to December but he didn’t know he was inadvertently auditioning for the role of 1st hire for my agency. I have informed him today and he is raring to go - Working on my strategy, call scripts, communication templates, proposals, demos and agreement/invoicing templates. - Onboarding my CRM (using the cheapest version of Hubspot which has a dialler….for now) - prepping for January 6th when we will officially commence outreach. This is where i’m at now and I am under no illusion this will be easy. I do know that the challenges ahead will be matched by the strength of our will. Sales has always been a numbers game and we plan to play it. Slow, steady, long-term. I will post again on Friday to let you know where we’re at. Looking forward to your comments and feedback. Happy new year again!
