This episode isn't directly actionable for ecommerce operators seeking growth tactics. Instead, it offers a meta-discussion as Andrew Faris and guest Patrick deliberate on potential new service offerings for an agency. While it provides a glimpse into agency-side strategic thinking, it lacks direct implementation advice for ecommerce brands.
Key takeaways
Consider a 'building in public' approach for your own brand's strategic decisions to gather feedback and build transparency, as demonstrated by the host.
Evaluate potential new service offerings thoroughly by discussing market need, operational feasibility, and potential impact on existing services.
Recognize that even experienced founders and agency owners face similar strategic challenges when looking to expand or pivot service offerings.
Think about how you can leverage your existing audience and platform (like a podcast or newsletter) to validate new business ideas or service innovations.
