— Josh Nelson, Founder
Target Market
Who We Serve
Seven Figure Agency primarily serves ambitious digital marketing agency owners who treat their agency as a growth-oriented business. These owners typically have found some early traction – often in the range of $100K–$500K annual revenue (roughly $8K–$40K MRR) – which means they're serious about scaling but haven't yet fully cracked seven figures.
Many are either solo founders or have a small team (1–3 contractors/employees), which results in the owner wearing too many hats. They often serve local service businesses or niche B2B industries.
Key Traits & Challenges
They Are:
- • Growth-minded and coachable
- • Fed up with plateauing
- • Hungry for systems that create consistent clients
- • Done dabbling – want to build something real
They Want:
- • Predictable pipeline of clients
- • To scale without burning out
- • Systems and predictability
- • A seven-figure agency with freedom

Four ICP Segments
7FA serves a spectrum of agency owners at different revenue stages, corresponding to the 4 Stages of Agency Growth: Startup, Stability, Scale, and Significance.
ICP 1: Startup Agency Owner
Beginner aiming for first $10K/month
("Launchpad" stage – just getting off the ground)
Avatar Profile
Typically a solo-preneur or freelancer-turned-agency-owner in the early days. May have 0–2 clients and is often still juggling a day job. Often a generalist at this stage (hasn't firmly niched down yet). Mindset is "all-in on making this agency my full-time income."
Before State
Uncertain and scattered. Struggling with feast-or-famine work cycles, often bringing in only a few thousand a month (some even negative MRR). Feel overwhelmed and lost.
- • No predictable lead flow
- • Inconsistent income
- • Doing everything themselves
- • Anxious and craving a clear path
After State
Launched and gaining momentum. Reaching a stable $10K+ per month run rate with a clear niche and service offer.
- • Specialized niche focus
- • Small roster of ideal clients
- • Basic marketing system generating leads
- • Recurring revenue contracts
Primary Goals
1. Sign First Stable Clients
Reach ~$10K MRR mark
2. Validate Niche & Offering
Choose "the one thing" to focus on
3. Go "All In"
Quit other work once revenue is sufficient
ICP 2: Scaling Agency Owner
$10K–$30K/month, aiming for first 7-figures
("Stability" stage – established small agency ready to break into the big leagues)
Avatar Profile
Agency doing $10,000–$30,000 in monthly revenue (roughly 5–15 clients). Has a small core team: perhaps a couple of contractors or a full-time assistant. Many have niched down but haven't fully capitalized on it yet. Been in business 2–3 years, proven they can sell and deliver, but still a working agency owner in day-to-day operations.
Before State
Plateaued and feeling growing pains. Facing "growth ceiling" problems. Revenue stuck in a band ($15K–$20K). Working 60-hour weeks just to keep up.
- • Inconsistent lead generation
- • Operational bottlenecks
- • Owner reviews everything
- • Surviving but not thriving
After State
Breakthrough to Seven-Figure Traction. Reaching $83K+/month (≈$1M/year) run-rate with far more ease.
- • Predictable sales pipeline
- • Streamlined service delivery
- • Adding 2-3 new clients per month
- • Lifestyle improvements & freedom
Primary Goals
1. Hit Seven-Figure Revenue
Big psychological & financial milestone
2. Build Team & Systems
Remove themselves from day-to-day
3. Predictable Growth Engine
Real sales funnel that converts consistently
ICP 3: Seven-Figure Agency Owner
$1M–$3M annual revenue
("Scale" stage) Has achieved seven figures but wants to optimize operations, build leadership team, and scale to multi-seven figures with less owner dependency.
- • Focus: Optimization & leadership
- • Goal: Multi-seven figure growth
- • Challenge: Removing owner bottlenecks
ICP 4: Multi-Seven-Figure Owner
$3M–$10M+ annual revenue
("Significance" stage) Elite agency owners focused on legacy, valuation, potential exit, and giving back to the community. Seeking peer mastermind and advanced strategy.
- • Focus: Legacy & valuation
- • Goal: Exit strategy or empire building
- • Challenge: Staying ahead of market
