EP 87: Why Your Launch Isn’t Failing—Your Pre-Launch Is

Acquire- Lead Generation, Digital Marketing for Entrepreneurs

Is Your Launch Flopping Because You Skipped This Step?

Ever wonder why your launch didn’t convert like you hoped—even though your offer is rock solid, your sales page looks amazing, and you thought you did “everything right”?

Here’s the truth: most launches don’t flop during the launch… they fail weeks before it even starts.

In this solo episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on the pre-launch mistakes that silently kill conversions—and sharing the strategies I’ve used to take launches from flat to sold-out. I even share how one of my clients went from 11 to 97 sales (yep, that’s an 8x increase) just by tightening up her pre-launch game.

We’re talking about the real work that needs to happen before you ever open the cart. From warming up your list, seeding your offer, and creating intentional visibility… this episode is basically your roadmap for a high-converting launch that doesn’t rely on hope and duct tape.

Oh—and if you’ve been flying by the seat of your pants or ghosting your list until launch day? This one’s especially for you.
