Who this is for

Agencies productizing recurring value

If you own the retainer narrative and the client still asks “why is cash flat when ads look fine?”, you are the buyer for this workflow — not a pure creative shop that never touches Stripe.

What to look for on this topic

Do this week: open Stripe (or your client’s authorized connection), inventory the bullets above, and rank by dollars — not by which ticket yelled loudest.

Motion
