Bring what's broken.
The call is a working session against the three leaks, not a pitch. These make it real work.
Have these handy
- Your ad account, or a screenshot of last month's spend and leads
- Your cost per lead, or your best guess at it
- The CRM you use, if any, and whether the team actually uses it
- Which agencies you've tried and what they did
