Is the agency you’re building for simply generating income or one that someone would want to buy in the future? How would your decisions change if you intentionally optimized for both from the start? In this episode of The Agency Blueprint podcast, I’m joined by Taylor McMaster to unpack what it takes to build, scale, and successfully sell a specialized agency. Taylor is the founder of DOT &Co, a specialized fractional account management firm that's scaled to over 30 remote team members, supported hundreds of agencies, and was recently acquired by E2M Solutions. Her story isn't just about growth; it's about the intentionality behind how she structured the company for acquisition.
