Takeaways
- If a resource is comfortable with working remotely then as an agency you should allow them to. An A+ resource is better remote than outside your company.
- As an agency things like culture happen naturally. If you’re living the values you preach, the team follows.
- Contrary to popular belief virtual meetings are more inclusive. There is an accessibility component to communication in a 100% virtual company.

- Sometimes you have to say no to good business just because it’s not the right fit for you, culturally or technologically.
- First contacts can determine if a client is good for you or not. If they’re having trouble understanding your culture and values then it’s not going to be any different with work.
