"I always knew I wanted to sell–so I built the business like it could be acquired at any moment." — Taylor McMaster, Founder of DOT & Company

I sat down with Taylor five weeks after Dot & Company was acquired by E2M Solutions.

What struck me most wasn't the acquisition itself. It was how unsurprising it was to everyone involved.

Taylor built Dot & Company around a single niche, account management for marketing agencies, and ran it from day one like someone was going to buy it. Clean books. Clear systems. No founder dependency.

The acquisition didn't happen because of a spreadsheet. It happened because of a three-year relationship and a business that didn't need Taylor to function.

We talked about what that took, the operational discipline, the moment she realized she was the bottleneck, how she trained salespeople instead of just promoting from within, and what it actually feels like five weeks after letting go.

If you're building an agency you might want to sell someday, this conversation will change how you think about what "ready" actually looks like.

Every agency founder I talk to is worried AI is coming for their business.

They're right. But not for the reason they think.

AI isn't killing agencies. It's killing average ones.

Here's what's actually happening:

AI just made it trivially easy to produce generic marketing, generic content, generic strategy.

Which means generic is now worth exactly what AI charges for it.

Almost nothing.

The founders who are panicking built their agency on breadth.
"We do it all." "We work with anyone." "We're full service."

That was always a fragile position.

AI just made the fragility visible.

But the founders who deeply specialized before this moment?

They're having a different conversation entirely.

Because AI can replicate output. It cannot replicate:
• 10 years of pattern recognition in one specific niche
• Relationships built on genuine domain authority
• The ability to diagnose a problem the client didn't know they had
• A reputation that makes you the only call worth making

Specialization was always the answer.

AI just made it urgent.

The window to choose is narrowing. Generalists who specialize now will be fine. Generalists who wait are betting the market keeps rewarding average.

It won't.

I didn't predict AI when I wrote Anyone, Not Everyone.

I just understood that the penalty for being forgettable was always going to compound.

AI is the compounding.

I see this all the time with founders…

They hesitate to specialize because they’re afraid of losing opportunity.

If I only work with dentists… what about everyone else?”
“If I niche down… won’t I make less money?”

Actually, the opposite is true.

When you specialize, you grow faster, more profitably.

If you’re still trying to be everything to everyone…

You’re making growth harder than it needs to be.

Sales enablement was built for enterprise companies with 50-person sales teams and dedicated RevOps.

Agency founders adopted the term. 
They bought the tools. 
They built the dashboards.

And nothing changed.

Because enablement assumes you already have a system to enable. 
Most agencies don't. 
They have a founder who's really good at sales and a team that watches from the sideline.

No amount of CRM automation, email sequences, or call recording software will solve the core problem: the process that produces results lives in the founder's head, not in a documented system.

Technology amplifies what already exists.
If what exists is founder dependency, technology just makes founder dependency more efficient.

Before you invest in enablement, ask: Is there actually a repeatable system to enable? Or are we just adding tools on top of a dependency?

Most M&A advice today is just theory from guys who've never actually run a business or integrated a team.

Peter is changing that. He's bringing real deal artifacts to the M&A & Exit Lab in Scottsdale on Feb 27...the stuff you never see publicly. 

Actual LOIs, earnout structures, and rollover equity math. Not a 100-slide deck. Just raw deal documents.

He'll walk you through how he screens deals, engineers structure, and sets up the first 90 days so nothing breaks post-close. And how the structure you choose today dictates the enterprise value you walk away with tomorrow.

I'll be there too. If you're thinking about going, let's connect.

The most common approach to training a new sales hire at an agency:

"Sit in on my calls for a few weeks. You'll pick it up."

This doesn't work. 
And the reason it doesn't work reveals everything about why founder-dependent sales is so hard to solve.

When a founder runs a sales call, they're making hundreds of micro-decisions they're not even aware of. When to push. When to pull back. When to go deeper on a topic. 
When to skip ahead. How to read silence.

The new hire sees the performance. 
They don't see the decision-making underneath it.

So they mimic the words without understanding the logic. 
They copy the script without learning the choreography.
They follow the playbook without knowing when to deviate.

And close rates drop from 35% to 12%.

Shadowing teaches imitation. 
Systems teach replication. 

Those aren't the same thing.
