Your Business is a Leaky Bucket

Let us play a game. Imagine your business is a bucket. The water you pour in is your marketing effort, your leads, your content, your ads. The water that stays in the bucket is your revenue.

You have spent the last six months completely obsessed with the faucet. You are trying every tactic under the sun, convinced that if you can just pour more water into the bucket, it will eventually fill up.

But the water level never rises. Why?

Because your bucket is riddled with holes. And pouring more water into a leaky bucket does not fill it. It just makes a bigger, more expensive mess on the floor. I call this the Revenue Leak.

Where Are Your Leaks?

There are three common holes in every founder's bucket. You have at least one of them.

1. The Strategy Leak: You are attracting the wrong people. They cannot afford you, they do not understand your value, or they are just tire kickers. The symptom: Sales calls that end with 'Let me think about it,' or you feeling like you have to defend your price.

2. The Sales Leak: You have the right people, but your process for converting them is a disaster. Your sales page is confusing, your follow up is non existent, your offer is not compelling. The symptom: People tell you 'This is great!' on the call, but then ghost you.

3. The Fulfilment Leak: You sign a client, and then the chaos begins. Your delivery is so manual and time consuming that it kills your profit and your will to live. The symptom: The thought of getting a new client fills you with a sense of dread, not excitement.

Trying to fix a lead problem (the faucet) when you have a sales leak (a hole in the bucket) is a colossal waste of money.

Plug the Holes, Then Turn on the Faucet

The correct sequence for building a scalable business is completely counterintuitive. You do not start with marketing. You start at the bottom of the bucket.

First, fix your Fulfilment Leak. If you cannot handle 5 new clients without your life imploding, you have no business trying to get them. Systematize your delivery.

Next, fix your Sales Leak. With a solid delivery system, you can now craft an irresistible offer and a sales process that converts without you sounding like a late night infomercial host.

Only then, once your bucket is sealed, do you turn on the marketing faucet. Because now, every lead you pour in stays in the bucket as cold, hard cash.
