By filling out this short form and getting your hands on THE Marketing Scorecard – it’s a Google Sheets link, so make sure you copy it and save your version safely. Then ask yourself, what marketing metrics matter most to your business? We’ve put some in as starters, but we highly recommend you tailor it to you. We’ve also calculated the percentages, so all you need to do is input your data and voila! All your marketing stats in one easy to refer back to place.

Sales plateaued? Copy that you spent days crafting not getting the clicks you anticipated? Chances are the people seeing your stuff are not your people!
So how do you find them?

Step two, fill in your details to access THE Ideal Customer Profile template (aka Target Market Profile) to capture all the good bits and really get to *know* your people. Once you’ve got this sorted, finding and communicating with your target market becomes a billion times easier. (Read = sales become easier too!)
