• "We tried that once." Reality: You did it wrong.
• "We don't have the budget." Reality: You're wasting more by not fixing the leaks.

• "We need more content before we launch." Reality: Launch, then optimize.
• "Our sales team won't use the leads." Reality: Fix the handoff, not the volume.

• "We're too busy." Reality: You're too busy doing the wrong things.

• "Our boss won't approve it." Reality: Show the business case, not just the idea.
• "We're not ready." Reality: You'll never be 100% ready.

• "We're not getting enough leads." Reality: Fix your offer, not your ads.

• "We're not getting enough conversions." Reality: Fix your landing page, not your audience.
