What you'll get

Matt Essam, who coaches agency owners, teaches a four-part scorecard for choosing a niche: for each kind of client you could serve, rate how much you'd enjoy them, how big their problem is, how much they could spend to solve it and how easily you could start conversations with them, then test the top scorer before reworking your branding. He sells software that builds growth plans for agencies and his examples are agencies, but the scorecard suits any service business choosing between a few kinds of customer.
