About this episode

Tim Hyde and John Hubbard discuss the importance of nurturing prospects over time in marketing.

Imagine 100 people walking into your store. Only a handful are ready to buy. What do you do with the rest? In this snapshot, Tim and John Hubbard break down why the real money lies in nurturing prospects over time, not just fishing for the tiny percentage ready to buy today. If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your ads or funnels aren’t delivering instant ROI, this conversation will change the way you think about marketing forever. You’ll discover: Why chasing only “ready-to-buy” prospects is a losing game The simple truth about buyer timelines (and why most take 12–18 months) How events, podcasts, and regular touchpoints build trust and nurture leads The biggest mistake businesses make: quitting too soon A smarter way to break down your marketing into smaller, achievable jobs Marketing isn’t about turning on a tap and watching sales pour in. It’s about showing up, staying consistent, and being there when your prospects are finally ready. Play the long game, and you’ll win bigger than you ever imagined.
