Make your marketing money finally pull its weight.

The problem

The invoices keep coming. The right customers don't.

What's happening

Your outbound marketing isn't working, and you're paying for it every month.

And more of it goes to a website that isn't doing its job.

How it feels

You're stressed out while everybody else is getting paid.

Why it's wrong

Money you spend on marketing should be money you can explain.

How come nothing is working?

What owners ask me.

My first question back is always the same: do you understand who your ideal customer is? Then everything you say and do, your messaging, your sales, your follow-up, gets built around that one person.

Your guide

It's a fair question, and it almost never comes down to effort. It comes down to who you're talking to, and what happens after someone raises their hand.

I'm Jordan Sellers. I've spent 15+ years as a marketer, creative director and photographer, so I look at the whole path: from the very first thing people see, to who you're selling to and how you're selling. That's usually where the money is leaking.

The plan

Three steps. All of them are in the free guide.

  1. 01

    Name one real customer

    Fill in one sentence about the person you want more of, in their words. If you can't yet, that's the first leak.

    Guide: customer worksheet
  2. 02

    Walk the path yourself

    Open your site on your phone like a stranger. Send a test inquiry. See what reply shows up, and who owns it.

    Guide: customer-path checklist
  3. 03

    Fix the biggest leak first

    Pick the one spot where people stall and fix that before you touch the budget. Then check the next spot.

If nothing changes

What happens if nothing changes

  • You keep wasting marketing dollars on a path that leaks.
  • Fix one piece in isolation and new bottlenecks show up downstream, like the person answering inquiries never being trained.
  • Then it looks like marketing doesn't work, when the real problem is somewhere else.

If it works

What it looks like when it works

  • You know exactly who you're talking to, and your message sounds like them.
  • Every inquiry gets a clear reply from someone who owns it.
  • When you spend on marketing, you know what it's for and how you'll tell if it's working.

Find the leak before you spend more.
