We discuss these key takeaways:

  1. Have clear and enforced objectives – when more focus is on the tactics, you need to bring your team back to focus on the overarching objectives. 
    1. The better the brand, the better the ROAS is – comparing your ROAS to competitors requires you to consider brand equity. 
      1. There’s a missing piece in looking at the whole customer journey. Making the journey congruent from start to finish can solve a lot of conversion issues.
  2. Measuring your metrics vs KPIs – Just because you have a good KPI doesn’t mean you have good metrics. Your conversion rate may be down even though you have a good CTR on your ads.

  3. Gather qualitative data on your SQLS – 
    1. How fast are you responding to leads? 
    2. Are leads not fitting?
