Shownotes

Most companies do not actually have an advertising problem, they have a growth system problem, and a campaign is only as strong as its weakest link in that chain.

Johannes Krebs, a growth systems architect who has managed millions in ad spend, joins Sana to talk about finding the one broken link that can drop a cost per lead from 400 euros to under 20, and how his understanding of resilience began with a near-fatal accident at eighteen.

About the Guest:

Johannes Krebs is a growth systems architect, entrepreneur, and international business strategist who began in sales and online marketing. He was recognized as a quarterly high performer on a Google project and has since worked across markets and business models in more than 25 countries.

Key Takeaways:

  • An advertising campaign is only as strong as its weakest link, a great ad can't fix a bad offer.
  • The right message reaching the right people can make campaigns hard to fail.
  • Fixing one broken link in a funnel can move cost per lead from hundreds of euros to under twenty.
  • Less than one percent of leads may actually fit high ticket services, so filtering matters more than volume.
  • Sustainable growth isn't linear, handling the downside is what determines whether a business survives.
