What needs to be in place before any growth tactic actually works?
Growth foundation covers what needs to be in place before you run any playbook. That means a clear positioning so your message is consistent, tracking infrastructure so you can see what's working, and a CRM setup that keeps your data clean.
These aren't growth tactics — they're the systems that make tactics effective.
The theoretical foundation you need to understand to make this work. Also includes the tools setup that is essential.
HubSpot is powerful when configured properly and a mess when it's not. Set up your instance correctly from the start so your data stays clean and your team trusts the system.
The core playbooks that drive results. Each one targets a specific outcome and builds on the foundations.
Opinions are cheap. Data is expensive but worth it. Build an experimentation system that produces valid results and compounds your learnings.
Useful additional, not core to the methodology. This is also where I document what I am learning myself.
Without a system for managing your week, important work gets crowded out by urgent work. Structure your time so you stay proactive instead of reactive.
Assumptions kill campaigns. Real customer insight reveals why people actually buy, what language resonates, and which objections need addressing before you spend on ads.
Your website works while you sleep, but only if visitors understand what you do within seconds. Build pages that answer questions before they're asked and make the next step obvious.
Bad tracking means bad decisions. Set up your analytics properly from the start so you know which traffic converts, which campaigns work, and where to focus your budget.
AI assistant for long-form writing and analysis better than ChatGPT for research, strategic docs, and working with uploaded files.
