Many entrepreneurs find themselves asking, âIs my marketing working?â Itâs a question Michelle Warner addresses in this episode of Sequence Over Strategy. Rather than trying to figure out if a strategy is failing or not, Michelle emphasizes the importance of sequenceâthe order in which marketing steps are implemented.
Michelle explains how breaking marketing down into three stepsâawareness, engagement, and salesâcan provide a clear framework for diagnosing issues. Often, the problem lies not in your ability to sell, but in failing to target the right people in the awareness stage. If the wrong audience reaches your engagement stage, sales wonât follow, no matter how polished your approach is.
By focusing on the sequence of actions, you can diagnose problems and determine whether adjustments in one step might improve the entire process. Instead of blindly tweaking your sales tactics, step back and ask: Am I engaging the right audience from the start?
If youâre struggling to understand where your marketing falls short, start by breaking it down into these steps. The sequence will guide you to more productive solutions.
