7/25/2025
LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU’VE BEEN MARKETING FOR A WHILE & THE GROWTH IS REALLY SLOW If you’ve been showing up, posting regularly, and still feel like your marketing isn’t leading to real sales… this episode is for you. I’m talking to the business owners who’ve been at it for a while. You’re not brand new, you’ve tried a bunch of strategies, and while you’ve seen some growth it’s starting to feel like you’ve hit a wall. A plateau. And now you’re wondering: how do I know if my marketing plan is just not working anymore? In reality, low sales are rarely a product issue. You don’t need to invent something “new” to get traction. You need to know how to position your product better. In this episode, I’ll walk through the most common signs that it’s time to shift your marketing strategy. These are red flags I see on profiles all the time and they’re almost always connected to slow or stuck sales. I’m also sharing what I look for in the first 30 seconds of landing on a profile to determine whether or not they’re likely making consistent sales. This is your reminder: marketing doesn’t have to feel like guessing. You just need a system that matches where you are, and where you want to go.
