The thesis
Revenue gets stuck somewhere between interest and payment — and, often, between the first sale and the next one.
The wrong people arrive. The offer never answers the objection they actually have. The form asks for eight things when it needed three. Nobody follows up on day four. A customer buys once and is never asked to buy again.
Before you spend more on traffic, find out whether traffic is actually the constraint. Five sectors, five diagnoses — the pattern underneath was the same each time, but I checked before I assumed it.
Three years building acquisition and conversion systems across ecommerce, DTC, fintech lead gen and property. Before that, four years running my own footwear brand to 2,000+ units sold, unfunded. Alongside it, eleven self-initiated teardowns of software products.
I've spent the budget and I've watched where it stops. That's why I don't start with your ad account — scaling a funnel that leaks only burns money faster. The full path is acquisition through retention: most of what I can show you sits in acquisition and conversion, because that's where the constraint has been in every engagement so far.
