Client Success Stories & Operational Case Studies

Operations & Workflow Engineering for Digital Agencies

Client: The MVC Agency

Platform Ecosystem: Brevo

The Challenge

As a startup, the agency faced specific operational obstacles:

  • Workflow Errors: The owner tried building the workflows on her own but encountered an incomplete set up where it didn't notify as intended and dynamic syntax issues (such as parameter errors in Brevo) that caused automations to stall.

  • Lack of Scalable Systems: Wanting to avoid building bad manual habits, the agency needed a reliable, set-it-and-forget-it system before taking on high client volumes.

  • Missing Nurture Funnel: The agency lacked an automated nurture pathway to engage and convert warm prospects gathered from events, direct networking, or general inquiries.

  • Manual Hiring Bottleneck: Without a dedicated HR team, vetting, interviewing, and onboarding external specialists manually threatened to drain the owner's time. 

The Solution

Erin Mitchell Consulting engineered three streamlined Brevo workflows and standardized syntax:

  • Client Acquisition & Onboarding: Automates intake forms, discovery scheduling with 24-hr email/SMS nudges, Xero invoicing triggers, Google Drive workspace setup tasks, and review requests upon project sign-off.

  • Warm Lead Nurture Engine: Automatically introduces the agency to new networking contacts, positions core digital growth services, and drives high-intent leads back to the primary inquiry form.

  • Specialist Recruitment: Vets candidates at the application level based on compensation requirements, automatically fast-tracking qualified applicants with Google Meet interview links while filtering out non-matches, then delivers onboarding emails with portal access and compliance testing to accepted candidates.

  • Technical Standardization: Corrected broken personalization tags across all workflow actions and built list-movement logic to trigger precise sequences while stopping redundant follow-ups.

Results & Key Deliverables

  • Created all workflow errors into a single, scalable Brevo ecosystem.

  • 24/48-hr automated nudges eliminated admin oversight for unbooked calls and incomplete onboarding forms.

  • Automated specialist screening, interview scheduling, rejection notices, and onboarding workflows.

  • Complete SOP playbook featuring step-by-step process documentation, video training, and 30 days of direct monitoring.

Business Impact

  • Removed initial technical glitches and administrative workload.

  • Fully automated talent screening and contractor hiring without needing dedicated HR staff.

  • Freed up executive time to focus entirely on sales, converting leads, and serving clients.

Conclusion

By replacing early technical friction with a clean, automated infrastructure, The MVC Agency established a reliable foundation built to support long-term agency growth.

Scaling Beyond the Solopreneur Ceiling

Client: Erin Mitchell Consulting, LLC (EMC)

Platform Ecosystem: Kajabi, Calendly

The Challenge

Despite years in business and having platforms to handle routine tasks, the business was operating under the solopreneur ceiling—with the owner acting as the primary bottleneck to growth due to heavy reliance on 1:1 service models and manual follow-up.

The Solution

To build a self-sustaining infrastructure on Kajabi, the business focused on operational stewardship across three four pillars:

  • Database & System Cleanout: Audited the Kajabi Contact CRM to clear out digital clutter, removing inactive contacts and outdated tags to keep the system running more efficiently.
  • Automated Operational Workflows: Engineered smart workflows to automatically manage failed payment recovery, lead nurturing, conditional logic pathways, and client onboarding.
  • Advanced Workflow Optimization: Rebuilt automation architectures to trigger identical actions across different entry points and lead forms. Leveraged Kajabi’s multi-flow master automation features to combine complex logic into unified, streamlined workflows.
  • Scalable Delivery & Productization: Shifted core offerings from 1:1 discovery calls to scalable, 1-to-many paid subscription content . Turned years of hands-on expertise into automated Kajabi step-by-step sequences that standard AI tools cannot replicate.

Results & Key Deliverables

  • The Smart Calendar System: Integrated lead vetting via Calendly with automated reminders and post-meeting follow-ups for reviews and referrals.

  • Automated Service Acquisition: Frictionless client booking, automated contract execution, and instant credit card checkout flows built natively into Kajabi Offer pages.

  • 138 Custom Automations: Consolidated redundant processes into streamlined, multi-flow master workflows using Kajabi's updated native features.

Business Results

  • Freed up executive bandwidth to focus on money-generating activities and long-term vision.

  • Prepared the business structure to instantly close and collect payments on large, high-ticket proposals with zero manual prep.

  • Generated regular, automated payout notifications every few days while leadership focused on strategy and rest.

Conclusion

By investing in clean data, robust workflow architecture, and native platform features in Kajabi, EMC broke through the solopreneur ceiling—transforming manual effort into true operational freedom.
