544 - How We Scaled Our 2 Person Branding Agency to $30k Months Without Employees with Pia Silva
Scaling your agency without a big team? In this episode, I chat with branding expert, TEDx speaker, and author Pia Silva about how she built a highly profitable business with no employees—just her and her husband. Pia is the founder of NO BS Agency Mastery, where she teaches small-but-mighty agencies how to earn 30k+ months with streamlined systems, premium pricing, and productized services. If you're tired of the hiring hamster wheel and want to grow by doing less (and charging more), this conversation is packed with insights and inspiration to rethink your model.
Today you will hear:
- How Pia turned a $3K “VIP day” into a $40K brand intensive—and scaled to $500K in 12 months without a team
- The structure behind her signature offer and how she sets client expectations for smooth delivery
- Why simplifying your offer is the key to scaling profitably without burnout
- The mindset shifts that helped her raise her prices while delivering even more value
- Pia’s strategy for replacing free discovery calls with a paid lead product (and why it’s a game-changer)
