Scarcity is Leverage

If you pitch every client, you look desperate. Desperation kills trust.

The best agencies don’t chase everyone. They choose. Selectivity is a signal: we only work with clients who want impact, not decoration. That scarcity creates leverage. Clients lean in because access feels earned, not sold.

Think of it like physics. Value increases when supply decreases. If your calendar is wide open, clients assume your work isn’t in demand. If you’re selective, they assume you’re valuable. And they’re right — because focus lets you do your best work instead of spreading thin across low-value projects.

We’ve said “no” to more deals than we’ve closed. That’s the point. Saying no filters the wrong clients, preserves energy for the right ones, and raises the stakes on every “yes.”

Scarcity isn’t a trick. It’s the truth: your time and talent are limited. Act like it.
