Let's cut through the marketing noise and tackle why your marketing might feel like a hamster wheel of exhaustion. Forget chasing shiny objects—it's time to audit what's actually broken in your current systems. The episode walks you through identifying exactly where your marketing is leaking money, from traffic that never converts to leads that ghost you before purchase. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Stop working for your marketing; make it work for YOU
• Collect real data for at least six months (no, your gut feeling doesn't count)
• Your traffic-to-lead ratio should hit 10% minimum (anything less is a revenue leak)
• Lead magnets aren't the problem—your manipulative, irrelevant ones are
• People buy when it's convenient for THEM, not when you're ready to sell
• Customer loyalty isn't a fluffy concept—it's literally where your money is hiding

JUICY QUOTES

• "Data without action is just expensive decoration for your dashboard."
• "Your lead capture engine isn't broken because you need more tactics—it's broken because the ones you have suck."
• "Most lead magnets are manipulative bait-and-switches that destroy trust before you even get started."
• "People don't buy when YOU want them to. They buy when it's damn convenient for THEM."
• "You don't have a conversion problem; you have a customer experience problem."
