Ep.144 - Most businesses don't fail at paid advertising because they picked the wrong platform. They fail because they weren't ready when they launched. In this episode of Endless Customers, Alex Winter sits down with Tanner Holman, paid social strategist on the Swell team at IMPACT, for an honest conversation about what it actually takes to make paid ads work.

This episode isn't about campaign tactics. It's about the foundation that has to be in place before you spend a dollar, and how to know whether you're actually there yet.

Highlights include:

Why the ad platform is almost never the real problem

How to read impressions, clicks, and conversions to find exactly where your funnel is breaking

What warning signs tell you that your creative, tracking, or sales team isn't ready yet

How to think about budget and timeline in a way that's honest instead of optimistic

The red flag to watch for before signing with any paid media agency
