## Services

- [Agency Positioning Strategy](https://www.schmidtconsulting.group/agency-positioning/): Sharpen how the agency is positioned in the market. Ends the "what do you actually do" problem, shortens sales cycles, and stops price competition.

- [Agency Pipeline & Business Development](https://www.schmidtconsulting.group/agency-pipeline/): Build the BD architecture that compounds when the founder isn't in the room.
- [AI for Agencies](https://www.schmidtconsulting.group/ai-for-agencies/): Price and margin strategy for agencies whose delivery costs are dropping faster than the pricing model can adapt.
- [Consulting](https://www.schmidtconsulting.group/consulting/): Comprehensive engagement covering positioning, pricing, pipeline, and operations.
- [Advisory](https://www.schmidtconsulting.group/advisory/): 90-day sprint to sharpen positioning, tighten sales, and build an operating rhythm the agency can run independently.
