200: Systems Development and Credit-Based Pricing with Corey Northcutt

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Building and implementing robust processes and systems for your business is a must when trying to create more efficiency and scalability within your business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of the</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Working Without Pants</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">podcast, I sit down with Corey Northcutt, Founder and CEO at Northcutt, to discuss the processes he has built for his SEO enterprise agency, and why using a credit-based pricing model was the right fit for his business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Corey notes that when offering technical services with many steps such as with SEO auditing, a credit-based pricing model allows you to stay more agile and helps with upfront planning of deliverables.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another benefit of using a credit-based pricing model, according to Corey, is that it eliminates the need for time tracking. When everyone knows what needs to be done and can deliver on schedule, day-to-day tracking isn’t all that important.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He says it can initially be a challenge for clients to understand a credit-based system, but as long as you’re delivering high quality work and have your value specs properly documented, it doesn’t cause much fuss.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Corey closes the show by sharing his insight around system development lifecycles and some of the tools his team uses to streamline their workflow.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Want to work with me as an advisor?
