Turn impressions into meaningful traffic.
CTR is the percentage of people who see your ad or link and actually click on it. If 1,000 people see your ad and 20 click, that’s a 2% CTR. For me, CTR is one of the best early signals of whether your message is working. If your CTR is low, it usually means your hook is weak, your offer isn’t clear, or you're targeting the wrong people. I use CTR to kill bad ads early — it saves time and budget. If no one clicks, no one converts. Simple as that.
Most teams grind for growth, but the best ones systemise it. In this step, you’ll see why a structured approach always beats random tactics. You’ll follow Random Rick, Specialist Steve, and Solid Sarah to understand how a system-driven growth approach can double revenue without doubling workload.
If your marketing and sales teams are too busy firefighting — fixing tools, chasing data, and dealing with messy handovers — you’ll never have time to focus on real growth. The Growth Operations Programme fixes your operations first, so you can finally work on scaling up.
