Our leads are saying a lot more than we realize.

Hey reader,

We've been discussing leads in our past few newsletters and we all agree that we are always yearning for more leads. However few of us pause to interpret what our existing leads are already revealing. When we look closely, patterns begin to emerge. Those patterns are not random. They are diagnostic.

1. Your cost of acquisition is rising. If your cost per lead continues to increase, the issue is rarely just advertising spend. It often signals drift in targeting, weaker messaging, or declining channel efficiency. Rising acquisition costs are a warning that your market response is changing. Next Tuesday, we will walk through exactly how to calculate your true cost of acquisition and how to bring it down strategically rather than reactively.

2. Your lead sources reveal both strength and risk. If most of your revenue comes from one primary source, such as referrals or one platform, that channel is working. It deserves support and intentional investment. At the same time, overdependence creates vulnerability. Healthy pipelines study their highest converting sources and build around them while gradually strengthening secondary channels.

3. Discount requests are frequent. When prospects consistently ask for price reductions, your business may be perceived as interchangeable. Messaging that leans heavily on affordability attracts buyers who prioritize price above value. If you are hearing this pattern repeatedly, it may be time to revisit your positioning, trust signals, and value communication.

Your leads are not just opportunities. They are indicators. When you learn to read them, growth becomes intentional rather than accidental.
