Add 30% more qualified leads (≈ 9 new retainer prospects) in the next 30 days
You pull in $62,000 revenue from 14 retainer clients and spend about $53,000 on payroll, rent, software and ads, leaving roughly $9,000 profit. Your current lead flow from Google Ads is 2 leads/month at $3,000 spend, so cost‑per‑lead is $1,500. To hit the 30% lift you need about 3‑4 extra qualified leads per month.

What to measure
Focus on the single metric that predicts revenue growth.
Qualified leads per week
Goal: 3‑4 new retainer‑ready conversations. If under 2 for two weeks, cut ad spend and double referral outreach.
Referral conversion rate
Goal: 30% of referred contacts sign a contract. Below 15% → increase discount or add a case‑study incentive.
Run the plan, track weekly leads, and double‑down on the channel that brings the first three qualified prospects.
