What if the reason your marketing isn't working... is because you're measuring the wrong things?
In this solo episode of C-Suite Strategies, Stacie Sussman, founder of RevUp Advisory, pulls back the curtain on one of the most common problems she sees in professional services, HR firms, and small businesses: spending heavily on marketing without knowing what’s actually driving results.
Most legacy companies are stuck tracking vanity metrics—likes, opens, impressions—while ignoring the micro-conversions that actually build revenue.
Stacie shares real examples from inside companies just like yours and reveals the root cause: disconnected systems, poor attribution, and siloed efforts that make scaling feel impossible.
This isn’t about more tools—it’s about better visibility.
If your funnel feels clunky, if your marketing isn’t converting, and if your sales team is stuck guessing… this episode will show you exactly where the cracks are in your foundation.
Here's what we cover:
• Why traditional marketing metrics are broken and misleading
• What micro-conversions are (and why they’re your growth unlock)
• How to stop relying on spreadsheets and gut feelings
• A real-life story of a $25M firm that transformed with simple visibility
• What attribution really means for non-SaaS companies
• Why you don’t need fancy dashboards—just the right signals
• How legacy businesses can build momentum with clarity, not chaos
RevUp Advisory is trusted by growth-stage companies who’ve outgrown “good enough.”
We’re the team you call when sales is stuck, marketing isn’t converting, and ops can’t keep up.
Led by Stacie Sussman and a team of experts you wish you called six months ago, RevUp realigns your go-to-market engine so growth stops feeling like a grind—and starts feeling like momentum.
