The Marketing Hire That Disappoints Most Business Owners
If you’ve ever hired a social media manager and felt quietly underwhelmed, this episode is for you.
Not because they weren’t talented.
Not because social media doesn’t work.
But this hire is one of the most misunderstood decisions business owners make.
In this episode, I break down:
Why consistent posting alone doesn’t drive growthThe difference between execution and strategyThe common pattern I see with referral-based, six-figure businessesWhat actually needs to be in place before you hire for contentHow to build clarity so your marketing finally creates momentum
This is a calm, honest conversation about why marketing feels noisy instead of effective — and how to fix it without burning out or cycling through hires.
