A Sales funnel – “A sales funnel is the marketing term for the journey potential customers go through on the way to purchase.” – infusion Soft

Simple speaking a Sales funnel is the most important part of any Marketing plan. (For A free book detailing sales funnels from beginner to advanced please see below.)

Pro tip: When planning out your Sales funnel use a flowchart software such as Draw.io

Pre-Planning; Design your Customer Avatar

Ask yourself the right questions to design your ideal customer.

1. Who is your ideal customer/

2. What do they do for a living?

3. When are they active with you?

4. Where do they congregate?

5.  Why do they need/want your product or service?

Step 1 : Attract

This is the beginning of a funnel. You need to find a way to attract a large group of people that is interested in your product or service. Such as setting up an offer for them to claim.

Easy: Paid Ads

Utilizing advertising on Sites Such as Facebook or Google.

Pro Tip: To get a lower cost per click on Facebook, you need to own the traffic source. Meaning utilize your email lists and Traffic data from Facebook Pixel.

Recommended:  Social media groups (Facebook Groups, Instagram DM groups, LinkedIn Groups)

Join or create a Group that is in the industry that you serve (ie Clickfunnels Facebook group for Digital marketers)

Step 2: Qualify

Now its time to cut down this list into the “Right” Customer for you (Idea customer Avatar). Someone who can wants/needs your product or service and can afford it.

You can Qualify people by sending them questions to answer in a multitude of ways.

You can create a landing page that ask essential questions, utilize a scripted chatbot, etc.

Pro tip:  Some marketers prefer to do this during their email sequence, but I prefer not to waste my email sequence or SMS sequence on this.

Step 3: Add to List

This is where you add them to a list or database THAT YOU OWN. Ideally a CRM. This will, be your hub for interacting with them now and in the future.

Step 4: Deliver

This can be where you start your email sequence by first setting an appointment or delivering the initial offer you set in the attract stategy.

Pro tip; Pease Please Please Don’t forget to deliver on what you offered them in the initial attract section.

Step 5: Upsells

Now that they are a part of your database/ list you can follow up with them after they received you item to offer a complementary product or service for an additional fee.

This is the money maker.

Bonus Step Referral:

Sales 101; people buy from who they know. I take this a step further by incentivizing the referral process by offering something as little as a $25 Amazon gift card to previous customers if  they refer us to family and friends.

Turn 1 paying customer into 10 $$$$.
