If you’ve ever had a sale fall flat and immediately wondered what went wrong, this episode is for you. Heather breaks down the quiet reason launches often underperform (it’s usually not your offer), and walks through a pattern she’s seen again and again in her own data. You’ll hear why selling to the same audience over and over loses momentum, why new subscribers convert differently, and how relying too heavily on Facebook ads can quietly stall your growth. She also shares how layering lead sources like YouTube, podcasting, social media, and smart content repurposing can bring in consistent leads without burning you out. PLUS, Heather shares details about a January business planning workshop designed to help you map out a lead-generation strategy before your next launch.
