You’re posting.
You’re showing up.
You’re doing “all the right things.”
And still—your pipeline’s dry.

That’s the slow burn mistake.

In this episode of Breaking the Grade, Josh Chernikoff goes deep on why so many education companies feel stuck, even when they’re showing up consistently on LinkedIn, attending conferences, tweaking SEO, and running the playbook everyone told them to.

Because here’s the truth:
Motion isn’t momentum. Visibility isn’t credibility. Activity doesn’t equal leads.

If your sales aren’t moving, it’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s because you’re relying on a strategy that wasn’t designed to move your buyer forward.

This is the episode that rips off the band-aid—and replaces it with a real system for traction.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why “slow burn” strategies lead to burnout and stalled sales cycles
  • What hunting methods actually look like—and why they outperform passive marketing
  • The difference between “doing more” and doing what works
  • How to structure lead gen that books real calls, builds real trust, and creates repeatable momentum
  • When (and how) to layer slow burn methods after your pipeline is full

You’ve tried the drip.
This is your signal to start the hunt, there’s still time to close real deals by Fall 2025.
