  • The Money Pit on Building Your Empire with SophieZo on WoMRadio
    Apr 15 2025
    "The Money Pit: Why Your Marketing Budget Disappears and How to Fix the Broken System" 📈 Picture this: A healthcare practice steadily increases their marketing budget year after year, adding new tools, platforms, and vendors along the way. On paper, their marketing looks comprehensive. Yet despite this substantial investment, new patient inquiries remain flat. Meanwhile, across town, a similar practice reduces their overall marketing spend while significantly increasing patient flow and practice growth. In this revealing episode, we explore why throwing more money at marketing rarely solves the underlying problems plaguing many service providers. Discover how a systematic audit of your current marketing tools and vendors creates crucial visibility into what's actually delivering ROI and what's simply draining your resources. Learn how to identify and eliminate "zombie spend" – those marketing investments that continue consuming budget despite no longer generating meaningful results. Most importantly, understand how shifting from activity-focused marketing to outcome-based systems with a fractional marketing department transforms marketing from a mysterious expense into a predictable growth engine with clear return on investment. This episode reveals why rebuilding your marketing around measurable business outcomes rather than marketing activities creates sustainable growth without wasted resources. Perfect for service providers tired of watching their marketing dollars disappear without corresponding returns and ready for a more accountable, effective approach.

  • Caitlin Bacher and Scale with Success® in The Business Spotlight with Dori DeCarlo
    Apr 11 2025
    Caitlin Bacher is the CEO of Scale with Success®, a company dedicated to teaching coaches and course creators how to turn their online course into a 7-figure business without launching. Her company has rapidly grown to over $11m in revenue over the last few years with no signs of slowing down. Caitlin believes there’s more than one right way to build a business, and that if launching isn’t your cup of tea, you don’t have to do it.

    She's learned this lesson the hard way after years of being trapped on the launch roller coaster - resulting in nothing but inconsistent revenue and sleepless nights wondering where her next sale would be coming from. The day she forgot to pick up her daughter from kindergarten while suffering from launch overwhelm was the last straw. She instantly realized that if this was what it took to build a million-dollar business, she wanted out - and she wanted out fast.
