When looking for a technical team for your project, you’re not asking for a product. You are asking for a relationship that results in a product. You’re not asking for lines of code. You’re asking for solutions that produce meaningful outcomes. Founder & CEO George Brooks of digital product agency Crema joins the show to discuss how to find the passion and posture of a digital agency, the no-win situation that is RFPs and why it’s important to go outside the RFP process to have a conversation, why his digital agency vets clients in return by finding out if they’re ready to be a tech company and whether they want a relationship or a transaction, and how he didn’t name his company after a Mexican sour cream.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How to sift through the noise of Clutch reviews and Google searches and find a warm introduction to a digital team
- Why it’s important to find a team that values collaboration
- How to take a step back from the RFP process to get down to the principle of how people work
- What questions to ask when meeting with an agency and what red flags to look out for
- Why a small team can accomplish 10x what a large, siloed team typically can
- Why you want an agency that’s paying attention more than the agency next to it and understands the impact tech will have on your business
