Balanced Routine
Second Flow Foundation
A balanced marketing routine is one that has an effective tool or technique mapped to every step of a sales journey.
Balanced Routine
A Balanced Marketing Routine is one that is carefully mapped to ensure that every step a person’s buying decision is supported with effective marketing tools. This is like a well-rounded exercise plan.
You’ll get a sense that you’re on wobbly ground with this one if your individual marketing tools are good – but despite that you’re not getting the results you want. You may find that you get plenty of leads, but they don’t convert, or conversely you convert brilliantly but don’t have enough interested enquirers. In each instance, this is often because you have missing links in your path to purchase, or an unbalanced marketing routine.

Client Example
Audenza
Hollie Brooks, co-founder of Audenza (an online retailer of beautiful things for your home and garden) uses the Touchpoint Leak™ Assessment as a core tool in their business.
In her first year of applying the assessment, and then systematically tweaking their Red leaks to Amber, they doubled both their profit and their turnover. This was achieved by working through the Masterplan programme and with internal resource and elbow grease.
In the second year of applying this, they felt confident to make deeper investments, including a full rename and rebrand. They doubled again in this 12-month window.
