EPISODE 16: Make Better Business Decisions Part 1: Lead Acquisition
Since you’ve been in business for a while, you already know that “getting more leads” isn’t the be-all-end-all solution some coaches say it is.
The real challenge is knowing what kind of leads you’re attracting, where they’re coming from, and whether your lead flow is actually supporting sustainable business growth — or quietly working against it.
In this episode of The Experienced Entrepreneur, I kick off a four-part January series about making better business decisions starting with Lead Acquisition. This conversation is for seasoned online business owners who are tired of guessing, reacting, or chasing visibility trends — and want a calmer, more intentional way to understand what’s driving growth in their business.
Rather than tracking vanity metrics or obsessing over algorithms, I share what I actually measures inside my metrics tracker Decision Dashboard, why those metrics matter, and how they reveal early signals about what’s working and what’s not, before things feel urgent.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
What lead acquisition really means at this stage of business
Which lead metrics Marissa tracks — and why she chose them
How tracking lead sources over time changes your marketing decisions
The early indicators that show whether growth is sustainable or shaky
What happens when you don’t track lead acquisition intentionally
How the Decision Dashboard acts as a monthly business hub you can return to again and again
This episode isn’t about doing more marketing.
It’s about seeing clearly, so you can grow your business with steadiness instead of scramble.
If you’ve been craving a grounded way to understand your numbers without pressure, this episode will help you orient yourself and show you how metrics can become a tool for clarity, not judgment.
Listen now and learn how lead acquisition metrics support long-term business growth.
