I am thrilled to have today’s guest expert, Mandi Ellefson, joining this episode of Sell With Authority. Mandi is the creator of the Scale to Freedom Growth Model and helps agency owners refine their offers and attract premium clients willing to pay higher fees.

And she does it fast — within 90 days.

At Hands-Off CEO a large part of Mandi’s work is listening, gathering data, and filtering it through her deep experience to identify the trends that will reshape agency services in the coming years.

And that’s exactly what we’re diving into today.

We are peeling back the layers on trends Mandi and her team are tracking right now — and most importantly — how you can use these insights to position your agency as a must-have strategic partner in 2025.

This conversation explores the significant impact of AI on client expectations, the trend of companies in-housing their work, and the urgent need for agencies to become irreplaceable strategic partners.
