Mistake No.10

Not knowing your numbers

Many small business owners see marketing as an expense rather than an investment. Ask them if a campaign has been successful and more often than not the answer will be a general “yes I think so, we haven’t done too badly”.

Responses like that are complete nonsense. What does haven’t done too badly mean?
You need to know precisely how much you’ve spent and how many leads you have generated from that spend.

You then need to qualify how good each lead is and monitor your conversion ratios. Only then will you be able to see how effective your marketing is.
