    Knowing why your customers buy is the key to great marketing

    Knowing why your customers buy is the key to great marketing.

    It's an important practice to regularly interview your customers so you can understand how and why they bought from you.

    When doing buyer journey customer interviews, you're seeking to understand:

    👉 The biggest challenges with the old solution (the one you replaced)

    👉 The consequences of doing it the old, broken way

    👉 What caused them to make a switch finally? (there's usually a breaking point)

    👉 What did they do that led them to hire you

    Do this quarterly with 5-10 customers.

    Codify the patterns in their responses.

    Adjust your marketing accordingly.

    “Is this a good fit for my agency?”

    I partner with founders who want to build something meaningful, not just a busier agency, but a stronger, more scalable business.

    You’re likely a strong fit if:

    • You’re generating $1M–$20M+ annually
    • You want to lead your market, not blend into it
    • You’re thinking about long-term scale, not short-term tactics
    • You want a growth engine that doesn’t rely on you
    • You value clarity over complexity
    • You’re open to advanced growth levers, including acquisitions
