Your marketing director brings charts full of clicks, impressions, and engagement rates. But when you ask how many patients actually walked through the door? Silence.

In this episode, Alisa Conner exposes the gap between marketing activity metrics and true business conversion, and explains why it's not your marketing team's fault. Most marketers were trained in product marketing, not service-based business marketing, and the difference is costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars in misallocated budget.

Elisa breaks down the five pillars she evaluates when diagnosing why a business's marketing isn't generating revenue: strategic foundation, customer experience, scalability, messaging and positioning, and ROI-to-conversion tracking. She explains why a 50% Facebook ad conversion rate might actually mean zero new patients, and why your team's impressive website traffic numbers could be hiding a serious problem.

If you're spending $200K+ on marketing annually and can't justify it to your board, this episode connects the dots between what your team is measuring and what actually matters.
