Welcome & Premise
Opening Challenge
Welcome! This training is all about turning marketing from a black hole into a growth engine.
We’ll do this through the Growth Mapping Method—a framework to:
- Map metrics that matter
- Tie work directly to ROI
- Build confidence in your marketing
The Confidence Crisis in Marketing
Hard Truths for Leaders
- 80% of CEOs don’t trust marketers
- 75% say marketers fail to show ROI
- 73% believe marketers lack business credibility
Why This Training Matters
If you feel this way, you’re not alone—and you’re not wrong.
But there’s a better way. Let’s measure what matters.
Where We’re Going
What This Training Will Cover:
- Map vision to marketing execution with the 10/3/1 Method
- Eliminate waste using the Aligned Metrics Ladder
- Use a green/yellow/red indicator system to spot what’s working
- Implement the Growth Mapping Method in your business
The Confidence Check-In
Ask Yourself:
- On a scale of 1–5, how confident are you that your marketing dollars are driving profit, not just activity?
- Write down your number. Be honest. Most leaders are at 2 or lower.
Zero Confidence? That’s Your Starting Point
Admitting it gives you power to change it.
Why Most Marketing Fails
- No one has mapped the system
- You’re stuck in the Lead Leak Model
- You’ve been running campaigns with no clear visibility
The Lead Leak Model
You start with 10 leads. By the time they go through:
- Handoffs
- Sales cycles
- Disconnected tools
You’re left with 1 customer, maybe less.
That’s not growth. That’s waste.
Let’s fix the leaks.
Let’s Make Marketing a System
The Results Engine
Marketing isn’t magic. It’s a system.
- Inputs → Actions, behaviors, content
- Production → Vision, time, effort, process
- Outputs → Leads, revenue, customers
Marketing should operate like any other business function.
Building Momentum: The Flywheel
Two types of marketing systems:
- Manual Pump Well: Ad hoc, stop-and-go. Feels exhausting.
- Flywheel Well: Once spinning, it’s hard to stop. Smooth, consistent, exponential.
You want the flywheel. Let’s build it.
The 10/3/1 Growth Pyramid
Step 1: Map Your Vision
- 10-Year Vision: Where are we going long-term?
- 3-Year Mission: Tangible goals with deadlines (e.g., revenue targets)
- 1-Year Goals: What needs to happen this year to hit the 3-year mission?
Without vision, there’s no direction. Without direction, no alignment.
The Measurement Ladder
Step 2: Map Your Metrics
Three levels:
- Business Outcomes
- Revenue
- CAC
- LTV
- Operational Strategies
- Sales-qualified leads
- Conversion rates
- Pipeline velocity
- Performance Tactics
- Ad clicks
- Emails sent
- Website traffic
Connect all levels to build clarity from tactic to vision.
Activity Without Alignment = Waste
What happens when there’s no alignment?
- You get chaos: blog posts, ads, emails—no system.
- No clarity. No direction. No ROI.
Aligned metrics create sustainable motion.
Step 3: Map Your Results
Use a Digital Growth Dashboard
- Shows green/yellow/red indicators
- Connects marketing activities to business goals
- Tracks trends over time
- Finds gaps and bottlenecks
You need clarity, not just activity.
Digital Growth Dashboard Example
- Tracks platforms: LinkedIn, Meta, Google, SEO
- Measures real outcomes: actuals vs. goals
- Shows indicators by color
- Reveals exactly what’s working (and what isn’t)
Build a Predictable System
Marketing should be as predictable as flying a plane.
You don’t need luck. You need indicators and a control panel.
Introducing the Acceleration Loop
4 Phases of Digital Growth:
- Alignment: Define goals, map the customer journey
- Activation: Build the infrastructure (site, CRM, content paths)
- Amplification: Execute high-impact strategies (ads, email, content)
- Acceleration: Optimize based on what’s working
Repeat quarterly or annually.
The Digital Growth System
Each phase includes:
- Strategy → Alignment
- Presence → Activation
- Content → Amplification
- Optimization → Acceleration
Everything is connected. Everything is intentional.
Feedback Loop & Reporting Cadence
- Bi-weekly Connect Calls: How’s it going?
- Monthly Dash Reports: What’s working?
- Quarterly Reviews: Deep dive + new plans
- Annual Planning: Refocus the vision
Structure makes reflection part of growth.
You Don’t Need More Tactics
You need:
- Clarity
- A system
- Measurement
- Consistency
Growth Killers to Avoid
- Slashing the marketing budget reactively
- Over-relying on a comfort channel
- Churning through agencies/tools
- Hiring “a marketing guy” with no plan
- Chasing shiny objects
- Cutting programs without understanding them
Better Questions for Better Results
Don’t ask: “How many leads did we get?”
Ask: “How are our leads progressing through the funnel?”
Don’t ask: “What’s our ROI?”
Ask: “How do we measure ROI across the sales cycle?”
Final Thought
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
—Peter Drucker
