Most agency owners and services leaders frame the retainer-vs.-project debate as an either/or choice. In my experience, that framing misses the point entirely. The question isn't which model is more profitable. It's whether you have the visibility to make either model profitable.

John goes to your website, finds your support email, and sends a message. That email enters your help desk as a ticket. Your agent, Sarah, sees the notification, opens the ticket, identifies the issue, and manually types out the same three-step process she has explained twelve times already today. She hits send, and John finally gets his answer.
