Module 1: The Foundation – Auditing Your Current Marketing Ecosystem

Executive Brief

A disconnected marketing tech stack is a silent profit-killer. When your advertising, website, and CRM don’t communicate, leads fall through the cracks, ROI is impossible to track, and your team wastes time on manual data entry. Unifying your systems is the first step toward scalable growth.

Tactical Execution

Action: Conduct a full touchpoint audit to map your current customer journey and identify leakage points.
