What is The agency starter: scope, price, propose?
The agency starter: scope, price, propose is a free course from HDC Academy. It is free with an account, needs no payment details, and is a complete piece of work rather than a preview. You can scope a job properly, put a defensible price on it, and send a proposal that answers the questions a buyer actually has. You finish with a completed proposal and onboarding checklist for a real or hypothetical client.
Free means free: an account, no payment details, and the whole course. The paid levels of running the agency are separate and clearly marked.
