Is it time to hire a digital marketer?
Many small Australian businesses started out as a one-man band, because getting started isn't easy. However small business often finds that all of their work time is spent doing the actual job, (whatever it might be) and finding time to do other tasks, like growing the customer base, is a wish - not a practicality.

Leads are duds. You need better opportunities
Your current sales efforts aren't really working for you, but who do you turn to? You can't turn away the opportunities that do come from your marketing efforts but you need better, higher value sales leads.Previous efforts didn't work
Feeling like banging you're head against a brick wall? So you gave a few strategies a go but had no success. You may conclude that marketing really doesn't work so what's the point?What is working anyway?
Who knows why you've suddenly had a change on the number of sales leads. Why did they go up or down? What was the source? If you can't measure the results of your marketing efforts then how can you really manage them?.
