What is a revenue leak?
Revenue leak. A specific point in your customer journey where interested people quietly stop moving toward a sale — usually because something is unclear, missing, or friction-heavy.
Revenue leak 1: unclear offer
Symptom: people say "I love what you do!" and then never buy. Fix: rewrite your offer as one sentence a stranger could repeat back.
Revenue leak 2: wrong audience
Symptom: high engagement, low conversion. Fix: describe your ideal buyer in five specifics (role, situation, budget, urgency, alternative they'd choose). Then aim everything at that person.
Revenue leak 3: weak follow-up
Symptom: inboxes full of "I'll circle back!" and no one ever circles back. Fix: a written 5-touch follow-up sequence over 21 days, sent for every real inquiry, no exceptions.
Revenue leak 4: scattered calls to action
Symptom: three CTAs on one page and none of them win. Fix: one primary CTA per page. A secondary is allowed. A third is a leak.
Revenue leak 5: no repeatable sales system
Symptom: every sale feels custom, artisanal, and exhausting. Fix: document the last three closed sales. What did they have in common? That's your system.
