You’ve probably never been asked this question before.

It’s a bit strange without context, but an important concept to grasp nonetheless.

So the question is…

If you were hungry, would you rather eat 100% of a grape or 75% of a watermelon?

In this scenario, just about everybody would pick a watermelon since it’s more food, after all.

So what the heck is the point of asking this question?

Well, think of the grape as referral marketing, and think of the watermelon as paid marketing.

Referrals are only a small percentage of what’s out there, so relying solely on referrals to scale your practice can be a bit challenging.

None of the largest firms in the country scale without some form of paid marketing.

Those firms understand that the more they make on their services, the more they can spend to acquire new business.

In this week’s podcast, Jan discusses the mindset and approach necessary to grasp the nuances of scaling, and why you can’t have a customer acquisition cost that’s higher than your LTV.

There’s much more to learn in this episode about structuring the framework of paid marketing in your firm, so tune in now!
