What are the biggest problems facing SMB's

Just plugged that question into ChatGPT.

#1 on the list...generating consistent profitable leads.

Seems this group might be able to help with that problem.

Are small-mid sized business owners a starving crowd, I think so.

From ChatGPT:

For SMBs, the biggest problems tend to cluster around revenue, customers, people, technology, and the owner's time.

Here are the ones I’d put at the top:

Generating consistent, profitable leads — Many businesses don't necessarily need "more marketing"; they need a predictable way to acquire customers at a cost that leaves enough margin.
Standing out from competitors — Websites, offers, messaging, and services often look interchangeable. SMBs struggle to articulate why someone should choose them.
Turning leads into customers — Traffic isn't enough. Slow follow-up, weak offers, poor websites, lack of reviews, confusing calls to action, and inadequate sales processes kill conversions.
Cash flow and profitability — Rising labor, advertising, insurance, inventory, software, and financing costs can make a growing company surprisingly unprofitable.
