Agency Mavericks Presents

The Blueprint

Our battle-tested step-by-step process for attracting better clients, securing more interesting projects, and generating predictable and consistent cash flow.
As seen in...

Life as a freelancer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

It doesn’t matter that you made $5K last month, or $3K the month before that.

When you don’t have an abundance of new leads coming in, proposals aren’t getting accepted, and there isn’t a consistent flow of cash replenishing your bank account each month, it’s a wildly uncomfortable place to be.

As you’re quickly finding out, running a business from a place of fear and uncertainty makes you do all kinds of crazy things that more experienced freelancers say you should never do…

Like casting your better judgment to one side and taking on any and every job, even if your gut tells you they’re a terrible fit, and are likely to drive you round the bend.

But hey, gotta take the work where you can get it! It’s guaranteed income, right?

Errrrrm…nope. Not necessarily.

Because as you’re quickly realizing…

Less than ideal clients come with a whole heap of challenges.

They’re usually haggling over the price of every deliverable, or they’ve “just had a thought” about a previously undiscussed feature that they’d like to add at the eleventh hour, and suggesting that you’ll do the additional work for free. Sound familiar?
Then there are the clients that begin way before they’re ready. Compared to the not so passive aggressive negotiators, these clients can’t wait to get started and are all too eager to say “yes!”

Feeling like you’ve finally turned a corner, you bank their deposit and enthusiastically get to work pulling together a style guide, and mapping out a generic structure for their homepage.

And then you wait. And wait. And wait some more.

Pretty soon, three months have gone by, and you’re still waiting for everything: their copy, images, login credentials, and of course, your next — not to mention your final — payment.

Until of course, they suddenly have an epiphany, then expect you to drop everything and deliver their completed project, like, yesterday.

Only, they’ve “had time to think” (funny that) and they’re no longer entirely happy with the style guide they’d previously signed off, and “could we try another direction?”

Sigh.

But they’ve paid their next installment now, so you suck it up and get it done because damn it, you really need the money.

Like we’ve already said, life as a freelancer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

What if I told you there’s a better way to make a living as a WordPress designer, developer, or consultant?

A way that allows you to confidently say “no” to clients who quibble over price, ghost half-way through projects, and don’t value your experience.

A way that allows you to narrow your focus and work only on the kind of project you love.

And a way that generates you both referrals and predictable and consistent cash flow?

Good News. There is!

I'm Troy Dean.

CEO of Agency Mavericks, a loving husband and proud father. His passion lies in inspiring digital creatives like you, to build enjoyable, sustainable and profitable businesses that enable you to lead an extraordinary life.

Today, I run a highly successful business.

But not that long ago, I was where you are right now:
Attending networking events, shaking hands, swapping business cards, writing proposals and going back and forth, only to end up in never-ending negotiations over scope and investment.

In the beginning, attracting ideal clients was a complete mystery. On top of that, I had no idea how to price my services to make a profit, resulting in lumpy cash flow and plenty of scrambling to make ends meet.

This is where most of our students are when we start working with them.

But once our processes become their business-as-usual, they quickly make the leap from struggling freelancers to profitable WordPress consultants.

To date, my team and I have coached over 2,500 clients through our proven blueprint for running a productive, profitable, and fulfilling WordPress consulting business.

It would be our privilege to coach you through it, too!

Here’s what you’ll learn inside The Blueprint…

Module 0
Released Immediately

Pre-flight

If you’ve ever questioned why you keep attracting the kind of clients who don’t seem to value your time, knowledge, or expertise, chances are you have some personal work to do first.

Taking a strategic step back from your business to figure out who you’d most like to serve, then tailoring your website to attract that person, is the first step towards breaking the cycle you’ve found yourself trapped in.

Module 1
Week OnE

Incoming Leads

If you’ve ever gotten part way through a project only to wish you could turn back time to that moment when you decided to go against your better judgment this module is for you.

We’ll give you our turnkey system for making sure every prospective client is a perfect fit, so you’ll never waste time on clients who want to negotiate on price, micro-manage your process, or ghost part way through, ever again.

Module 2
Week Two

Positioning Yourself as a Premium Consultant

In module two, we reveal the overarching blueprint that enabled me to go from charging $1,200 for building WordPress websites, to commanding $25,000+.

I’ve personally invested countless hours into testing, tweaking, and making the blueprint perfect. I’ve also shared it with over 2,000 students who have successfully used it to elevate their WordPress consulting businesses. We know it works!

Now, for the first time, I’ll reveal to you my proven processes for positioning yourself as a premium consultant so you can start commanding premium fees.

Module 3
Week THREE

Proposals

Time to create your proposal template!

No need to waste time overthinking or reinventing the wheel… we’re simply going to share our winning proposal template with you, and walk you step-by-step through how to use it in your business.

We’re diving way deeper than we did in any of the free resources you may have seen.

Going line by line, we’ll show you how to write and present winning proposals to help you land the kind of clients you only ever dreamed of working with.

Module 4
Week Four

The Anti-Follow Up

Over 50% of sales happen in follow-up, yet so many business owners shy away from it.

Worried your “Just wanted to check in…” emails might sound passive, or worse, needy and desperate?

In module four, we’ll walk you step-by-step through our ingenious method of following up in the best way we know how: by adding value and being of service.

Module 5
Week Five

Delivery

Want to know what clients paying premium prices expect?

Polished and professional processes.

In module five, we’ll teach you how to onboard clients, wow them throughout delivery, and then offboard them into one of your lucrative care plans.

When you implement these ways of working into your business, everything from your stress levels to the health of your bottom line improves!

Module 6
Week Six

Referral Machine

Wondering how you’ll attract a steady stream of clients, willing to pay a premium?

In module six, we’ll show you how to create an automated referral machine!

Implement this final step, and you’ll never need to worry about where your next project is coming from, ever again.

Week Seven

Final Exam

It’s time to graduate!

In this final week, you’ll sit your final exam (it’s multiple choice and super-easy!) and get your certificate and a digital badge to display proudly on your website.

We have some pretty awesome bonuses for you as well!

Bonus 1

Online Community Group

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from working with freelancers and small business owners, it’s this:

You can’t do your best work in a vacuum. To thrive, you need access to other designers, developers, and WordPress consultants like you.

That’s why when you join us inside the Blueprint, you’ll get the opportunity to become a member of our Flight Cadets Facebook community for the seven weeks you spend implementing the Blueprint.

This is where you’ll get access to your coaches for advice and feedback, connect with the other students, find an accountability partner, form business alliances, and share your wins.

Bonus 2

Lifetime Access

Theoretically, implementing the Blueprint inside your business is something you’ll only need to do once.

That said, we know as you start seeing results, you may want to establish new services, or even start a second business.

That’s why when you enroll in the Blueprint you’ll receive lifetime access to the course, including any future updates, so you can keep referring back to them again and again.

Bonus 3

Weekly Coaching Calls

We know that there’ll always be questions that are better asked and answered out loud, as opposed to those submitted in writing.

As a Blueprint student, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in weekly coaching calls facilitated by our team, during the seven weeks that you spend implementing the Blueprint.

From experience, we know you’ll get value from attending these live calls whether you have a burning issue or not. Our coaches drop a whole lotta knowledge during these calls, and we often learn a fair amount from the questions asked as well!

5/5

The Blueprint is for you if…

You’re sick and tired of busting your butt for pain-in-the-ass clients who never seem to be happy, no matter how hard you try.

Always find yourself attracting clients who like to pinch their pennies, and aren’t marketing or web savvy in the least.

You’ve found yourself trapped in a never-ending cycle of revisions so many times and you’re convinced that, on some projects, you wound up working free.

You’ve convinced yourself that switching niche is the answer to all your problems. (Spoiler alert: there are nightmare clients in every industry.)

You’re tired of muddling through and feeling like you’re winging it. You want to feel confident and self-assured, every step of the way.

Here’s everything you’ll receive when you enroll in the Blueprint:

Course modules

Six modules of carefully curated content that walk you through our complete system for attracting better clients, securing more interesting projects, and generating predictable and consistent cash flow ($2,000 Value)

Resources

Dozens of take-and-tweak resources, email templates, and scripts to make implementing the Blueprint in your business an absolute doddle ($1,000 Value)

Certificate & Badge

Our coveted certificate and a digital badge to mark your graduation (Priceless)

Plus these awesome bonuses…

Join a community of designers, developers, and WordPress consultants like you.

Lifetime access to the entire Blueprint plus any future updates (Priceless)

Got a question? Your answer may well be in the FAQ below...

How is the course delivered?

The Blueprint is comprised of 7 video-based modules, housed in a secure online classroom. Beneath each video, you’ll find a downloadable text transcription, along with a downloadable MP4 file, so you can watch, read, or listen to the course content whenever and from wherever you like.

How much time do I need to devote to the course?

We find that students get the best results when they set aside 2-3 hours a week to focus on implementing what they learn. How you carve out that time is really up to you and how you learn best, but know that it’s entirely possible to get tremendous results from the Blueprint, even in just 30 minutes a day!

What if I’m just starting out?

Perfect! That means you don’t have years of bad habits we need to undo. If you’re just starting out this is a great opportunity to build a business based on best practices, right from the word go.

What if I don’t have a niche?

You’re in luck. We will walk you through the process of choosing a niche in the program and then help you craft your message so you can attract more of your ideal client.

What if I’m not very good with WordPress?

You don’t need to be a great developer or a highly skilled designer to build a successful business as a WordPress consultant. You just need to understand how to identify a client’s problem and then design a solution for that problem. We will walk you through every aspect of this in our training program.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, absolutely. This is slightly more expensive in total than paying in full upfront, to account for extra admin time and costs.

I’m just not sure I’m ready to make this investment…

When it comes down to it, the question of whether the Blueprint is worth the investment is really up to you.

Of course, you can find heaps of advice online for free, but in reality, you’re probably already wasting hours searching for answers to simple questions, only to wind up feeling none the wiser.

Alternatively, you can make a one-time investment in the Blueprint and receive lifetime access to a course that promises to make building your WordPress consulting business easier and more profitable than ever before.

The bottom line?

When you join us, you’re investing in more than just an online program – you’re investing in yourself and your future.

How do I know I can trust Agency Mavericks?

Good question. We’ve been doing this since 2013 and have trained thousands of students who have achieved all sorts of life-changing results.

Search the web for any bad reviews of Agency Mavericks. You won’t find any.

We have loads of 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook. Plus, we offer a full 30-day 100% money-back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose.

But how do I know that this training will work for me?

The simple answer? You don’t. We don’t either.

The truth is, we have no idea what you do when we’re out of the room, or how good you are at following instructions and executing new ideas.

All we can do is point you to our testimonials so you can see what happens when people who were once in the position you’re in now commit to following our process and take action.

It’s not a good time for me right now. Can I join later?

When you see something that you know you need, it’s easy to think to yourself “I’ll put this off until a “better” time. The only trouble is, no such time exists, and before you know it, you’ve wasted weeks of income generating time, and you’re still frustrated and dissatisfied.

Part of my role as an educator is to hold you to the same high standards that I hold for myself and encourage you to take decisive actions.

That’s why we only ever offer the Blueprint for a short period — to help you quickly decide whether it’s the right option for you, so you don’t waste time procrastinating or avoid making a decision.

And don’t forget, when you enroll you have lifetime access to the course, including all future updates, so you can easily invest now and pick it up when you have time knowing the content will always be relevant and up to date.

I’m in! How do I pay?

Payment can be made with any major credit card or with PayPal.

I’m enrolled! What happens next?

As soon as you’ve enrolled, you’ll receive an email from us with all the information you need to access the online classroom where Module Zero will be waiting for you.

This email will also provide details of how to join the group. We’re biased, clearly, but we think it’s one of the friendliest and most supportive groups online! And with students all over the world, there’s rarely a time when someone isn’t online to answer your questions or help celebrate your wins.

Do I have to join the private Facebook community?

Nope, not if you don’t want to — but students typically get lots of extra value from being a member, create online and offline friendships and referral partnerships and take the opportunity to network and ask questions about things that aren’t even covered in the course. If you choose not to join, you’ll almost certainly miss out!

What if I find the program isn’t for me? Can I get a refund?

We’re pretty sure that once you step inside the Blueprint and get a taste of what it feels like to be a part of such an awesome global community, you won’t want to leave.

That said, if after 365 days of working through the program you’re dissatisfied for any reason, we’ll gladly refund your full investment. Simply email us with your completed worksheets to show your commitment to the course, and we’ll get it sorted.
