"The Money Pit: Why Your Marketing Budget Disappears and How to Fix the Broken System"

📈 Picture this: A healthcare practice steadily increases their marketing budget year after year, adding new tools, platforms, and vendors along the way. On paper, their marketing looks comprehensive. Yet despite this substantial investment, new patient inquiries remain flat. Meanwhile, across town, a similar practice reduces their overall marketing spend while significantly increasing patient flow and practice growth. In this revealing episode, we explore why throwing more money at marketing rarely solves the underlying problems plaguing many service providers.

Discover how a systematic audit of your current marketing tools and vendors creates crucial visibility into what's actually delivering ROI and what's simply draining your resources. Learn how to identify and eliminate "zombie spend" – those marketing investments that continue consuming budget despite no longer generating meaningful results. Most importantly, understand how shifting from activity-focused marketing to outcome-based systems with a fractional marketing department transforms marketing from a mysterious expense into a predictable growth engine with clear return on investment.

This episode reveals why rebuilding your marketing around measurable business outcomes rather than marketing activities creates sustainable growth without wasted resources. Perfect for service providers tired of watching their marketing dollars disappear without corresponding returns and ready for a more accountable, effective approach.

That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to helping service-based companies create success strategies that empower them to thrive for years to come!

Wishing and hoping won’t get you where you want to go, and that’s where the digital marketing team at SophieZo comes in!
