Spending on more channels can't fix a weak message - it just makes the money leak out faster.

The mechanism

The chart stacks four channels - search, LinkedIn ads, content, and outbound - each as a bar split into a small green "converts" piece and a large red "leaks" piece. Across all four, about $22,600 turns into work while $127,400 leaks away. Every channel inherits the same close rate from the words above it, so a generic message bleeds across all of them at once. The fix sits upstream of the spend, in what you say, not how much you pay to say it.

Part of Positioning. Who you are for and why you are the obvious choice.
