Find the leak before you pay to fix it.
The Growth Gap Intensive is a fixed-price diagnostic for established service businesses. In ten business days you'll know exactly where your business loses customers, what that leak costs you every month, and the precise order to fix it. One fixed fee, quoted up front. Credited in full if we build together.
Built for businesses already getting inquiries, roughly $300K to $2M in revenue. Just starting out? See The Launch Build. If your email app doesn't open, write to Lauren@foragedmarketing.com.
Most owners pay for fixes before anyone finds the leak.
A new website, an ads retainer, a social media hire. Each one is a prescription written without a diagnosis. When it doesn't move bookings, the conclusion is "marketing doesn't work for us," when the real problem was never the tactic. It was the gap the tactic was poured into.
The intensive exists so your next marketing dollar lands on the thing that's actually in the way. Sometimes that's messaging. More often it's what happens in the first hour after someone reaches out, or the thirty days after they buy. The report tells you which, with evidence.
What happens in the ten days
I mystery-shop your business
I request a quote, fill your forms, and call like a real customer, then timestamp everything. Most owners have never seen what their buyers actually experience. This alone is usually worth the fee.
I audit all three stages
Website, follow-up, CRM, quoting flow, and retention touchpoints, scored against the Attract, Convert, Keep framework to find the stage that's leaking hardest.
We walk through it together
A 90-minute working session in plain language. No jargon, no slideware theater. Just what I found, what it means, and what I'd do first.
You get the Growth Gap Report
The leak, what it costs you monthly in real dollars, and a prioritized fix list. Written so you can act on it, not admire it.
You choose what happens next
Run the build plan yourself, hand it to your team, or have Foraged install it. If you book a Growth System Install within 30 days of the working session, your full intensive fee credits toward it. After 30 days the credit expires and the intensive stands on its own value.
Worth it or free.
If the Growth Gap Report doesn't identify at least one fixable leak worth more than the fee, you don't pay for it. That's the whole guarantee, no fine print. I can offer it because in an established business that's getting inquiries, the leak is always there.
Built for businesses that already have demand
You're established and leaking
- Local service business doing roughly $300K to $2M
- Inquiries are coming in, but too many go quiet
- Quotes go out and you never hear back
- Repeat business happens by accident, not by system
The problem is demand, not leaks
- Pre-revenue or brand new? The Launch Build is the right door
- You want ad volume without fixing the back end
- You're not open to changing how follow-up works
Not sure which you are? The free quiz sorts it out in three minutes. And the numbers behind this work are documented in the case studies.
Fair questions
Why pay for a diagnosis at all?
Because the fix depends on the leak, and guessing is the expensive option. The fee also becomes your deposit if we build together, so the diagnosis is never money down the drain.
Isn't this just the free quiz with a price tag?
The quiz is self-reported and takes three minutes. The intensive is me in your actual systems, shopping your actual business, with timestamps and dollar figures. Different instrument entirely.
What if the report tells me things I already know?
Then it also tells you what they cost monthly and the exact order to fix them, which is what turns a nagging suspicion into a plan. And if there's no leak worth more than the fee, it's free.
Do I have to hire you for the build?
No. The build plan is written so you or your team can run it without me. About half the value of the intensive is knowing what not to spend money on.
Ten days from now, you could know exactly where the money is leaking.
One fixed fee. Worth it or free. Credited in full toward a Growth System Install booked within 30 days.
