  • No Sales Team? No Growth. How Matt Plapp Built One That Actually Closes
    2025/08/08

    What does it take to turn a one-man agency into a sales-driven machine that dominates a niche?

    In this episode of The Closing Code, Clinton and Josh sit down with Matt Plapp, founder of America’s Best Restaurants, to dig deep into the raw truth of building and scaling a sales team from scratch. From humble beginnings in radio and boat sales to leading a 12-person outbound sales team, Matt shares exactly how he carved out a niche, scaled his agency, and built a culture of performance and accountability.

    This episode is packed with actionable strategies and hard-earned wisdom for agency owners, sales leaders, and entrepreneurs ready to scale.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    - How Matt transitioned from generalist to restaurant niche specialist and why niching down was a game-changer

    - The early grind: cold emails, door-to-door visits, and the messy hustle that built momentum

    - What Matt looks for when hiring salespeople (and why most agencies get this wrong)

    - Why in-person sales teams outperform remote ones and how culture plays a huge role

    - The simple but powerful KPI Matt tracks that outperforms deal count

    - The moment Matt fired himself as sales director and why that skyrocketed conversions

    If you're building or scaling a high-ticket digital marketing agency, this is the episode you can't afford to skip.
