This Week’s Focus: Sink What’s Out of Sync

Growth doesn’t always come from adding more.

Sometimes the smarter move is subtraction—sinking what’s misaligned so your message finally sticks.

Here’s what to look for across the 5 Segments of Sync:

 Self — You win with their why.
 Audience — You can’t sell what you don’t see.
 Message — You zinged. They zzz’d.
 Funnel — You had the eyeballs. Then… nothing.
 Growth — You ran the playbook. But not with them.

Align your 5 syncs. Amplify your impact. Attract better clients.

1 Action: Rewrite one misaligned message

Example:
A marketing consultant promoted:

“A full-scale brand positioning overhaul for high-growth businesses.”

Sounds sharp—but it didn’t land.
Their leads were early-stage business owners, not scale-ready CEOs.

What worked better:

“Clarify your message and attract better clients—in just one session.”

Takeaway:
Refine the offer. Sync with where they are, not where you want them to be.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1 Insight: Misalignment kills momentum

Example:
The same consultant had people booking calls… but not converting.
The message excited, but lacked clarity. Prospects were confused about next steps.

Fix:
They added a short video walk-through of their service roadmap before each call.

Takeaway:
Confusion creates friction.
Clarity builds confidence—and confident clients say yes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1 Resource — The “Sink to Sync” Audit

If calls are ghosted or emails go silent, run this 5-question check:

1. Am I speaking to their current stage—not just the end goal?

2. Is my offer solving their pain or showcasing my process?

3. Is my CTA clear—or does it create more questions?

4. Does my copy reflect their language—or industry lingo?

5. Would they describe the outcome the same way?

Takeaway:
Before you scale—sync.
Sink what doesn’t serve your audience.

 SageStamped: Recap & Action Plan

Growth stalls when strategy is out of sync.

This week, we covered one consultant’s shift—from clever messaging to clear positioning—and how it unlocked better leads, stronger engagement, and more conversions.

Action Plan: Sink to Sync in 3 Steps

1. Audit your message
   → Is it speaking to your vision—or their situation?

2. Simplify your offer
   → Focus on outcomes, not process.

3. Run the checklist
   → Spot and sink what's confusing or off-sync.

 Hit reply—what are you sinking this week?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and success stories—let's keep the conversation going!

LinkedIn Tidbit (Feel free to post!)

You don’t need more leads.
You need better timing.

Here’s the sync play:

 TOFU → Answer the questions they Google at midnight
 MOFU → Show them what working with you feels like
 BOFU → Remove risk. Make it easy to say yes

Sync Tip:
If your BOFU message hits a TOFU mindset—it fizzles.

Mismatched funnels stall deals.
Synced funnels start conversations.
