Company Profile
Industry: Digital Marketing Agency (Machine Shops & Metal Fabrication)
Size: $12K monthly revenue, targeting B2B manufacturing clients across the US
Stage: Growth phase with predictable delivery systems but inconsistent pipeline
Primary Challenge: Strong fulfillment and client retention but limited scalability due to reliance on paid traffic and lack of organic inbound
Diagnostic Assessment
Before working with Scaling With Systems, Fernando’s agency was operating under a single-channel acquisition model heavily reliant on Facebook and Google Ads. His systems delivered excellent ROI for clients but limited diversification created unpredictable growth.
- Sales Process Constraint: Closing relied entirely on short-form ads and cold funnels with minimal nurture. His follow-up system lacked personalization and was dependent on lead form submissions that often went cold.
- Offer Constraint: Retainer pricing capped at $1K–$1.5K/month limited revenue per client. No structured system existed for pitching higher-tier offers or recurring multi-service retainers.
- Acquisition Constraint: Paid ads produced sporadic results with inconsistent booked calls, leaving him vulnerable to CPM volatility and audience fatigue.
Transformation Approach
- Systems Implementation: SWS helped Fernando rebuild his sales and delivery pipeline with a multi-channel acquisition model using Facebook, TikTok, and Google Ads. He integrated VSL funnels, lead capture automation, and nurture sequences to increase booked calls and conversion rates.
- Offer Rebuild: Developed new packages blending ads + SEO retainers ($3K–$4K/month) and introduced 3-month $10K PIF options to improve LTV. This allowed the agency to capture more cash flow while increasing average client retention beyond 3 months.
- Organic Expansion: Leveraged TikTok content and automation to create inbound leads, reducing cost per call by over 40%.
- Sales Enablement: Implemented a call review framework and follow-up scripts to consistently close higher-ticket offers and convert cold traffic into high-intent appointments.
Quantified Results
Financial Impact

- Cash Collected: $4K upfront + $2K/month retainers, $3.1K–$3.75K recurring clients, and new organic leads from TikTok
- Client Retention: Retainers extended from 1–2 months to 4–6 months average
- Call Volume: 33 calls booked in two weeks with ~$12K revenue closed

Operational Improvements

- Offer Upsell Leverage: High-ticket options now routinely presented and accepted, driving immediate cash collection

Strategic Impact
The shift from a single-channel fulfillment agency to a multi-channel marketing system created predictable cash flow, stronger client retention, and new organic lead sources. Fernando now consistently signs high-value retainers without relying solely on ads and has a systemized path to $100K months through scalable inbound and outbound growth levers.
