Hey Reader, I spent weeks building this calculator for my website. You'd plug in your audience size and engagement rates, and it would tell you how much money was sitting in your following. I was so proud of it. Posted about it everywhere, sent it to my email list, even mentioned it on podcasts. The traffic was incredible - 60 page views in the first week. One person filled it in. My first instinct was to write new angles for promoting it. Maybe create some Reels showing how it worked. Design better graphics to make it more appealing. But then I spent 10 minutes actually looking at the data. Sixty people landed on that page and only one completed it. That's not a promotion problem - that's a barrier problem. Turns out, most people hitting that page couldn't grab the numbers they needed to use the calculator. They didn't know their email open rates or their follower growth. So they bounced. Ten minutes of tracking saved me hours of creating content to promote something that was never going to convert. Instead, I shifted to teaching people how to find their numbers first. Way better results. This is what I mean when I say ten minutes of tracking is worth more than ten hours of tinkering. While you're writing new content angles or creating fresh Reels, the data is already telling you what needs fixing. That's the CEO flex - having time for expansive creative thinking because you know what's actually working. Ideating new projects with confidence instead of hope and prayer. Fall Forwards gives you those 10-minute insights that stop you wasting time. Quick check-ins that show you where to focus your energy. Complete all 10 weeks and you'll have a full picture to work with at our strategy day in January - turning your data into next year's growth plan. Join the waitlist here - because efficiency beats effort every time. Zx |
I'm Zoë. I run Falling Forwards Ltd. I write Booked By Friday, a weekly email that lands every Sunday with one specific action you can take that week to land a paid booking by Friday from people already in your world. Past clients, lapsed buyers, the lead who said "not yet" three months ago. If you sell services and your calendar's lighter than you'd like, that's the inbox you want to be in.
About a month ago I was scrolling our local Facebook group and someone posted a screenshot of a map, and on that map it said CUDDING SHED TAP ROOM. On the road I live on. Excuse me??? There’s a tap room half a mile from my house and NOBODY THOUGHT TO TELL ME. Obviously we went. Turns out my dad knows the bloke who owns the farm, because of course he does, and the tap room is literally in one of the barns. They make cider on site, they do BBQ food, it opened less than a year ago and every...
I nearly told someone to build a new offer this week. Like, was halfway through typing the sentence and everything. “You need something in the middle.” And then I looked at it and thought… do you though? Because her offers did have one of those gaps that makes my business-coach brain start getting ideas. Something cheap at one end, something expensive at the other and absolutely sod all in between. You KNOW the one. It looks unfinished. Almost offensively so. Like obviously we need to pop a...
I speak too fast and I'm neurodivergent. "The thing you've been editing out is probably the thing the right people are waiting for." I started putting a slide at the beginning of my presentations that says exactly that. I speak too fast. I'm neurodivergent, for me that's ADHD and autism, which means I struggle to look at the camera, I need to read my notes, and once I get going I'm not stopping so try and keep up. If any of that's a problem, watch me on replay, I really won't be offended. I...
