Influential Inc. redefines agency standards through a unified marketing-sales approach, driving $21M+ in client revenue during its first year.
-- Pioneering a New Agency Era
In the crowded landscape of digital agencies, Influential Inc. has emerged with a model designed to unify what many businesses still keep apart: marketing and sales. Founded by Austin Varley and Haris Reis, the agency celebrates its first anniversary with a milestone achievement—over $21 million in client-generated revenue and a proven framework that challenges the traditional agency format.
Influential Inc. offers an integrated, results-driven approach that merges lead generation with closing strategies, eliminating the silos that slow down growth. The result: an end-to-end solution that turns cold traffic into loyal customers and consistent cash flow.
The Spark That Started It All
The story of Influential Inc. began not in a boardroom, but through a long-standing friendship. Austin Varley and Haris Reis first met years ago in a mastermind group that Haris was leading. Over time, they built a strong connection—exchanging insights, supporting each other’s ventures, and forming a trusted relationship grounded in shared values and a passion for business growth.
That informal collaboration became something more when a unique opportunity presented itself. A potential client approached them with a vision for launching a personal brand. Seeing potential in the project, Austin and Haris decided to take it on together, outside of their existing businesses. Within three weeks of launching, the brand generated $1.2 million in revenue—an outcome that far exceeded expectations.
“We only charged $30,000 for that project because it was structured as a standard retainer,” said Austin Varley, co-founder of Influential Inc. “We built the funnels, the programs, the brand, and even did the sales for that retainer. Dumb? 1000% but gave us the spark to launch Influential and start changing the way agencies provide services for brands. .”
From that moment, the direction was clear. Influential Inc. was born out of a realization: businesses don’t just need leads—they need aligned strategies that drive tangible outcomes. Rather than becoming a traditional agency focused solely on retainers, Austin and Haris built a model centered on shared success. Today, the firm blends retainer-based work with partnership models, prioritizing client relationships where both sides are invested in long-term growth.
That foundational project wasn’t just the start of a company—it was proof of concept for a new kind of agency model. Influential Inc. now helps brands bridge the gap between potential and performance by combining sales and marketing into one outcome-driven strategy.
Top-of-Mind Marketing: A Demand Creation Methodology
One of the cornerstones of the Influential Inc. approach is its proprietary Top-of-Mind Marketing Method—a strategy built around brand consistency, omnichannel presence, and intentional messaging that creates ongoing demand rather than relying on short-term funnels.
Unlike traditional agencies that build campaigns around isolated touchpoints, Top-of-Mind Marketing prioritizes long-term engagement. It focuses on placing brands at the forefront of their market through strategic content, community building, and consistent visibility across all platforms.
“Attention is the currency of today’s market. If your brand isn’t top of mind, you’re not in the conversation,” explained Haris Reis, co-founder. “This method allows us to position our clients where their customers are already paying attention—and keep them there.”
Click to Close: Turning Leads Into Revenue
At the core of Influential Inc.’s performance promise lies its Click to Close Program, a fully integrated framework that bridges marketing and sales operations to ensure every lead moves efficiently through the pipeline.
Rather than stopping at lead generation, the agency manages the complete buyers journey—click to close—using in-house teams that specialize in follow-up, lead qualification, and sales closing. This has been a game-changer for clients who previously struggled with handoffs between marketing and sales departments.
“Our Click to Close Program doesn’t just fill pipelines. It fills bank accounts,” said Austin Varley. “Every lead we generate is nurtured and followed up with by a trained, performance-based team that is incentivized to close. That’s why we guarantee results.”
Delivering Measurable Growth for Diverse Clients
Haris Reis and Austin Varley have worked with every niche you can think of. When they launched Influential Inc, they kept their focus on the online education industry. Coaches, mentors, masterminds, course creators. Throughout their entire career, one result remains consistent: measurable revenue growth. The agency’s data-driven strategies, combined with their full-stack execution model, have led to over $21 million in generated revenue in just 12 months.
Their clients benefit from hands-on operational involvement, including CRM optimization, funnel creation, sales team development, and outbound calling services—all managed within the same infrastructure. By eliminating the friction typically found between separate marketing and sales providers, Influential Inc. delivers compounded results in less time.
A Reputation for Speed and Scale
In a saturated market, few agencies deliver both scale and speed. Influential Inc. has done both. Their unique model has earned them a spot among the fastest-growing agencies in the United States, and their reputation is fueled by transparency, performance guarantees, and a refusal to rely on outdated tactics.
“Everything we do is designed for speed, accountability, and scale,” said Austin Varley. “From day one, we’ve been committed to making sure our clients are growing—not just getting traffic, but actually building real businesses.”
The combination of strategic planning, hands-on execution, and measurable KPIs has helped clients not only reach but exceed aggressive growth targets within 30 to 100 days of launch.
Looking Ahead: Scaling the Future of Agencies
With its first year behind it, Influential Inc. is setting its sights on continued innovation. The agency plans to expand its Click to Close Program with AI-integrated sales systems, invest in strategic partnerships, and scale its Top-of-Mind Marketing Method to new industries.
As part of its next phase, the company is building educational platforms and live consulting experiences to empower more businesses with the proven systems used by its internal teams.
“We’re not here to be another agency. We’re here to redefine what a results-driven agency looks like in 2025 and beyond,” said Haris Reis. “There’s still so much untapped potential, and we’re only getting started.”
