Sound familiar?

You’re working hard. So why isn’t it working?

You post every week and hear nothing back.
Enquiries come in, then go quiet, and you never find out why.
One month you’re flat out, the next it’s dead.
You’ve paid for a website or ads that never paid you back.
You’re not sure what’s working, so you keep doing a bit of everything.
Competitors with worse products keep winning customers you should be getting.

It isn’t you, and it isn’t your product. Customers are slipping away at one point you can’t see. Find it, fix it, and everything else starts working harder.

What’s inside

Five calculators that show you what your marketing is getting wrong

This isn’t a course you sit and watch. Every module comes with a calculator. Put in your own numbers and it shows you what’s going wrong in your business, and what it’s costing you.

Find you7 / 10
Trust you6 / 10
Choose you4 / 10
What you’re getting wrongYour weakest link: Choose you

Module 1

Find you, trust you, choose you

What it doesScores you on the three jobs of marketing and shows your weakest link.

Why it mattersIf one of the three is weak, the other two can’t make up for it.

Find you → visit8.0% · aim 10%
Visit → enquire2.0% · aim 3%
Enquire → buy25.0% · aim 30%
Your biggest leak: Visit → enquire£18,000 a year

Module 2

Where are customers slipping away?

What it doesTakes your monthly numbers and finds the one stage that’s leaking, and what fixing it could add.

Why it mattersA leak at one stage drains everything after it.

303% ready to buy now
17017% gathering information
20020% know they have a problem
60060% not thinking about it yet

Module 3

Your 3% and your 97%

What it doesShows how many of the people who know you are ready to buy now, and how many will buy later.

Why it mattersThe business that stays in touch is the one they buy from when they’re ready.

SearchA page for that buyer
SocialGoes to my homepage
DirectA page for that buyer
PaidDon’t use
What you’re getting wrong1 of your 3 routes lands on your homepage

Module 4

Your routes to market

What it doesMaps the routes people use to find you, and where each one sends them.

Why it mattersA page for one buyer, with one clear next step, wins more enquiries than a homepage.

Enquiries each month10
Followed up at least twice40%
6 enquiries a month never get followed up£9,000 a year

Module 5

Your lead tracker

What it doesCounts the enquiries that never get a follow up, and what they’re costing you.

Why it mattersMost sales are lost after the enquiry, not before it.

  • 1Your weakest link is “Choose you”
  • 2Your biggest leak is Visit → enquire£18,000
  • 3You’re not staying in touch with the 97%£11,640
  • 41 of your 3 routes lands on your homepage
  • 56 enquiries a month never followed up£9,000

Finish

Your results, all in one place

What it doesPulls together everything the calculators found, with the first thing to fix.

Why it mattersYour marketing is only as strong as its weakest step.

What changes

From guessing to knowing

Before the course

  • You post and hope
  • You try a bit of everything
  • Enquiries go quiet and you don’t know why
  • You don’t know what it’s costing you
  • You’re not sure what to do next

After the course

  • You know how your customers decide to buy
  • You know the one thing to fix first, and what it’s worth
  • You stay in touch until people are ready to buy
  • No enquiry slips through the cracks
  • You have a clear plan for what to do next

How people buy

How every customer decides to buy

Every customer goes through the same seven steps before they buy from you. Miss one, and they buy from someone else.

1

Get ready

Know who you sell to, what you sell and how you’ll reach them.

2

They see you

Show up where your buyers already spend their time.

3

They check you out

A stranger trusts you in five seconds.

4

They take a first step

An easy yes that isn’t “buy now”.

5

You capture and nurture

Every lead in one place, kept warm until they’re ready.

6

You win the sale

Follow up, answer objections, make yes easy.

7

They come back and refer

Reviews, referrals and repeat business.

Fix the weakest step first.

It’s the quickest way to win more customers, because every step after it gets easier.

What you’ll walk away with

Know where you’re losing customers, and what to fix first

By the end of this course you’ll know where your customers are slipping away, what it’s costing you each year, and the one thing to fix first. No more guessing, and no more posting and hoping.

It’s about how marketing really works. Every customer goes through the same seven steps before they buy, from the first time they see you to the day they come back and tell their friends. In seven short videos I take you through those steps, with five calculators that use your own numbers, so you can see how your business is doing at each one.

Why does it matter? Because most small businesses are working hard on the wrong step. They post more, when the real problem is that enquiries never get a follow up. Fix the right step and the marketing you’re already doing starts to pay.

It takes about half an hour, and you finish with a plan for your business, not somebody else’s.

Henny Maltby

Hello, I’m Henny

I’ve been where you are

Before I helped other businesses grow, I built my own product business from scratch and got it stocked by JD Williams, Freemans and over 100 independent shops. I’ve spent more than 25 years in marketing, I’m a Growth Hub Premier Partner, and I run Pink Elephant Media and HM Consultancy.

This course is the exact way I look at every client’s marketing on day one: find the weakest step, then fix it. Now you can do the same for yours.

Questions

People ask

Do I need to be good with numbers?

No. Rough monthly numbers are fine, and the calculators do the maths for you. If you don’t know a number, a best guess still shows you where to look.

How long does it take?

About 30 minutes of video, plus the time you spend on the calculators. Most people finish it in an afternoon.

Is it really free?

Yes. Create a free account and you get the whole course: the videos, the calculators, the course guide and the cheat sheets. No card and no checkout.

Why is it free?

Because every other course in the Academy builds on it. Once you know where you’re losing customers, there’s a course for each step if you want help fixing it.

Is it right for me if I’m just starting out?

Yes. It works whether you’re new to marketing or you’ve been doing it for years and want to know why it isn’t bringing in customers.

What happens to my calculator answers?

They’re saved in your browser, so when you join the course they’re already filled in and every module uses them.

What if I don’t have time for a course?

Grab the free cheat sheets below. They show you what to check in ten minutes each. When you’re ready to fix what you find, the course is here.

What happens after the course?

You’ll know the one thing to fix first. If you want help with it, there’s a course for every step, or you can book a free hour with me.
