The thinking behind "Dare to think"

Good decisions take time to think through. That’s why we’re called Avapond. Meet the Bristol team and the values behind how we work.

Runware needed help hiring, and that's how Avapond found me. They didn't just place me and leave: onboarding, processes, campaigns, all done alongside us. It never felt like outside help. It felt like they had as much riding on it as we did.

What's it about?

You've tried the obvious. More ads, different messages, a new brand. But you're either not growing fast enough or you've completely stalled. Maybe it is your marketing. But that's an assumption. What's really holding you back could be lurking elsewhere in the business.

In this talk, Lewis Dowling, Managing Director at Avapond, explains five less-obvious reasons businesses struggle to attract customers. And what you can do to fix each one.

What you'll hear

  • The biases that send you down the wrong path
  • Why a pyjama factory needed to listen to its employees
  • How a single field on a form cost a company millions

What you'll leave with

  • The five hidden reasons and how to spot them in your business
  • The research behind each one
  • Practical fixes you can start using tomorrow

Who's it for?

  • Founders ready to start growing seriously
  • Owners of businesses that have stalled (and can't work out why)
  • Teams spending more and more on marketing, but getting less back
