Summary
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I actually think about my marketing when we're behind on a sales goal, and the framework I use to decide what actions to take. I share my thoughts on why the answer is never just "get more leads," and why building a full marketing ecosystem, one where your ads, email list, social media, and live experiences are all working together, is what separates struggling marketing from marketing that compounds over time. I also talk about the power of re-engaging your warm audience with something fresh, and share a real client example where that approach generated a 10x return on ad spend. If you've been feeling like your marketing isn't working or you're too focused on new leads while leaving money on the table, this episode will challenge you to think differently.
