  • 391: Maximizing your Conversion Rate with Caitlin Bovée
    Apr 21 2025

    How This Studio Owner 3X’d Revenue and Built a Team That Scales
    Hosted by Mike Arce, CEO of Loud Rumor

    In this episode, Mike Arce sits down with Caitlin Bovée, a studio owner in Ontario who scaled her business from $40K/month to over $160K/month—and opened a new location along the way.

    They break down the mindset shifts, operational systems, and leadership habits that transformed her business, without relying on gimmicks or shortcuts.

    You’ll learn:

    – What Caitlin changed in her sales process to go from “no system” to 80–90% conversion
    – How her team uses monthly optimization meetings to evolve with consumer behavior
    – Why having a lead gen specialist (and no referral system) still works when the product is dialed in
    – How focusing on leadership development—not just strategy—was the biggest unlock

    Whether you’re stuck at $50K/month or building toward your first $1M year, this episode will challenge how you think about growth—and help you focus on what actually drives results.
