265 – Are You Attracting the Right Leads? (And What To Do If You’re Not)

Planning, Podcasts

Content Sells Podcast

Subscribe

If you’ve ever felt like your marketing is almost working — but not quite clicking — it might not be your funnel, your content, or your offer that’s the problem.

In this episode, your hosts, Suzi Dafnis and Michelle Falzon explore a different perspective:

What if you’re attracting the wrong leads?

Because when the wrong people are entering your marketing ecosystem, it doesn’t matter how well-designed your strategy is — your content won’t convert, your sales conversations will feel heavy, and your offers won’t land.

Listen to This Episode to Hear More About:

  • The 3-part fix for getting leads who actually want to buy from you—starting now.
  • The unspoken cost of wrong-fit leads: It’s not just wasted ad spend—it’s the silent killer of momentum and confidence.
  • 7 powerful themes that reveal whether your current leads are a poor fit.
  • The important question you need to ask as soon as you get invited to speak at an event, conference or on a podcast (and why ignoring this could fill your list with leads that will NEVER buy from you).
  • Is your “freebie” secretly repelling buyers? The counterintuitive reason some lead magnets are working against you.
  • Feeling exhausted by your clients? This quiet signal says you’re marketing to the wrong people.
  • The “chaotic list” effect that makes it almost impossible for your offers to convert.
  • The real reason you’re second-guessing everything.
  • The marketing shift that filters out tyre-kickers—without sounding salesy or pushy.
  • What if you’ve outgrown your audience? Here’s what to do when the clients you’re attracting don’t match who you are now.
  • The telltale signs your audience is too scattered—and why it’s sabotaging your content (and your confidence).
  • Is your content attracting… or qualifying? The subtle shift that makes marketing easier—and more effective.
  • And so much more…
