106. I Lost $100k on Ads so You Don't Have To!

You can probably see that I am not in my normal studio. In fact, I'm at the Louisville, Kentucky airport. And if you're wondering why in the world I'm here, well, it's for marketing purposes. 

Today’s episode of The CFO Report is all about marketing, prospecting, and lead generation. 

I see a lot of people who are doing marketing and prospecting wrong right now, and I see a lot of people making mistakes and having mindset errors around what marketing and prospecting should look like for a Fractional CFO firm. 

I’ll also share with you some of the mistakes that I've made that I see other people making today with marketing and prospecting. In fact, one of these mistakes cost me over $100,000, and it was a complete bust. 

I'm also going to show you what are some of the biggest and most successful firms doing for marketing and business development in 2024.

Let's dive in.
