Agency work is delayed for weeks waiting for clients to provide necessary files and feedback, creating a major bottleneck despite having efficient internal processes.
Existing email reminder tools help with follow-up timing but don't solve the core problem of client delays in providing deliverables, which still causes project bottlenecks even with retainer billing structures.
