| 0:00.0 | If you're already running Facebook and Instagram ads, the worst thing you can do is begin to spend more without clarity. |
| 0:08.2 | So when somebody calls me to discuss running Facebook and Instagram ads on a discovery call, I think about these questions and usually ask them some of these questions. |
| 0:17.7 | And that can hint at whether or not we're ready to work together, |
| 0:21.4 | but for you listening right now, whether or not you're ready to scale your own ads profitably. |
| 0:28.4 | Because I really do believe that responsible growth equals asking better questions, |
| 0:33.8 | not just throwing bigger budgets at ads. Now, the first question has to do with what you're sending ads traffic to Facebook and Instagram ads right now. Could be a lead magnet, launch a webinar, or a self-liquidating offer funnel. Let's talk about that lead magnet.

| 1:57.0 | But just being able to look and know what your lead to sale ratio is it is it 2% or higher, but then also being able to look and systematically troubleshoot your funnel for funnel leaks. |
