From chasing to being chased


I was chatting to an old friend the other day about how marketing's changed.

Back in the day, we both did pretty damn well from the established method of...

  • Free content
  • Free lead magnet
  • Simple nurture
  • Make a sale

But, times have changed.

If you're still using this approach, you'll likely have seen big shifts like...

... the work it takes to convert one lead into a customer is exponentially harder...
... the cost of converting those leads is vastly higher...
... the competition is a lot fiercer...

The result is higher fees for fewer sales.

A lot of the time, it feels like you end up chasing leads and begging them to hire you.

if you take a second to look at the changes, you'll come to the same conclusion as I have.

This is only going to get worse as time goes by.

And if you're still operating on the old approaches for growth, you're going to see fewer results with every passing week in 2025.

Now's the time to change.

If you're not sure what the changes you need to make are or how you should be thinking about growth for this year, join me on Friday.

I'm running a free webinar where I'm talking about the big shifts you need to know about to succeed in 2025.

I'll also be explaining the system you need to be implementing in your biz to minimise risk, enable scale, and unlock more profit.

These shifts help you go from playing a game of chasing leads to get any business you can, to having your best leads come to you and WANT to pay you money.

If you want to join us, check out the registration page here.

See you on Friday.

I was the "guest expert" in a senior SaaS leader mastermind last night. It was fun. The senior leaders of SaaS brands doing $3MM+ would come in, explain an issue they had, and we'd talk about things they could test to solve it. A couple of questions were right in my wheelhouse. But there's one I want to go over with you today. Look, one of the big issues in any recurring fee business, whether that's... SaaS Consulting/Agency Community/Memberships ... is the issue of churn. You get yourself a...

I've completely stopped creating new lead magnets for my business. Why? Well, I could go over the same old ground and once again hammer you with the messages of... Freebie seekers are not buyers Payback period is key to staying alive But, there's another reason. One which is - in my opinion - more important and underpins the other two. In fact, this underpins the entire success of your growth strategy. Look, running ads or paying for any marketing for your business comes down to one thing....

I'm a firm believer that things can always be done a little better. Even when your marketing strategy is working, there's probably a few tweaks you could make to help squeeze a little extra juice out of it. And that's been my focus for the last week. I've been tweaking the sales material, funnel, and approach for the $1 Product Challenge. Now I could leave all of those changes and the reasons behind them hidden away. Secreted behind the paywall for only the most serious "funnel hackers" who...
