Symptoms vs Root Cause: Why Your Marketing Isn’t Working

Cold hands. A doctor who wanted to prescribe blood pressure medication. And a functional medicine doctor who found the real problem underneath. Kristi opens this solo episode with a personal medical story… not because she’s a doctor…. but because it perfectly illustrates something she sees business owners do with their marketing every single day.

Treating the symptom instead of the root cause.

In this episode, Kristi breaks down the most common marketing symptoms she hears from business owners, what is actually causing them, and what it looks like to finally address the thing underneath.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “we need to do more on social media” is almost never actually a social media problem

  • The four symptoms that signal a deeper strategic issue in your marketing

  • Why the tactics treadmill keeps spinning no matter how many new things you try

  • What two questions every business owner needs to be able to answer clearly before anything else

  • Where to start if you have been playing Whac-A-Mole with your marketing for too long
