About

10 years ago IMPACT’s CEO, Bob Ruffolo, had an idea to open an agency. Today that agency has grown to over 70 employees and has helped hundreds of clients reach digital success. However, the road to making IMPACT what it is today wasn’t always a smooth one.

In this 45-minute webinar, Bob Ruffolo and Growit Group’s Clodagh Higgins will be talking through the 7 biggest mistakes an agency owner can make, how to avoid them, and the lessons Bob learned from making these very mistakes.

In this session, Bob and Clodagh will teach you:

  • The 7 biggest mistakes Bob made in growing his agency and the lessons he learned from them.
  • How to put the right strategies in place to put your agency on the path to success.

Save your seat today to learn the mistakes you must avoid in order to grow a successful and profitable business!
