When the Market Feels Like It’s on Summer Vacation

It’s August. The sun’s hot, the kids are back in school, and your customers… well, they’re acting like they’ve all disappeared to the lake.

Every year, we get the same call from a business owner: “The phones are quiet. Sales feel slow. Is something wrong with my marketing?”

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on why August (and other weirdly slow months) happen—and why a quiet calendar isn’t always a bad thing.

Here’s what we dig into:

• The hard data behind seasonal slowdowns—and why August is the repeat offender
• How vacations, cashflow cycles, and even the weather affect buying behavior
• The “mature marketer” mindset that keeps you from making panic moves
• Smart ways to use slow months to plant seeds, refine your message, and set up your next big push

If your August feels like tumbleweeds rolling through your sales pipeline, this conversation will give you perspective, a plan, and maybe even a reason to enjoy the lull.

You’re Not Hiring a Marketer, You’re Hiring a Mindset

You’re not just looking for someone to run your ads—you’re trusting someone to help grow your business. Big difference.

In this episode, we unpack the three things that actually matter when choosing a marketer: curiosity, empathy, and business sense.

Not who talks the loudest in the pitch meeting. Not who has the fanciest slides. Just real traits that drive results.

Inside the episode:

• What every frustrated business owner wishes they’d asked before hiring a marketer
• Why great marketing starts with listening, not selling
• How to spot the difference between a consultant and a copy-paster
• The one skill that makes any marketer dangerous—in a good way

If you’ve ever felt burned by bad marketing (or want to make sure you don’t), this one’s for you.
