 When I started my entrepreneur journey, I was totally overwhelmed. There were so many things to learn and do, I didn’t know where to start.  After a few online courses and unsuccessful website design experiments, I felt lost and defeated quickly because it “didn’t work”.  I exerted a lot of effort, and there wasn’t a payoff.

 

 I didn't really understand how all of the different business pieces were connected. In fact, I didn't even know what all of the different pieces were or the skills I’d need.  I needed a 50,000 foot view to understand the “lay of the land” so I could make sense of it all.  That’s where a Sales Funnel and fulfillment map came in.  

 

Having a high-level sales funnel is the backbone of your business.  It's what gives it all of the structure. You can see how all the efforts fit together to create a calm, planned, predictable business. You'll know exactly what to do, how to do it  and ensure your business is sustainable and profitable.  (Psst…it will also help you get to take vacations).

 

There’s a myth that sales funnels are confusing and complicated.  Not always.  In this introduction to Sales Funnels, I break it down into easy to understand concepts.  In my new course Smooth and Scalable - an Introduction to Sales Funnels, I make it even easier to get the big picture and choose what will work best for you.

 

In today’s episode, we talk about:

  • The four phases of a sales funnel: Traffic, Marketing, Sales, and Fulfillment.
  • Shifting our mindset from sleazy sales to nurturing path.
  • Measuring the pieces of your sales funnel.
  • Focusing on your customer experience.
  • Avoiding overwhelm when working on your sales funnel.

 

Time Stamps:

[03:19] Behind the Curtain - I was so inspired by Russell Brunson's concept of sales funnels that it inspired my next course! Here's how it all started.

 

[08:02] The Four Phases of the Sales Funnel - A sales funnel is going to help you figure out what infrastructure you need in order to make your business work! These are the four phases.

 

  1.  Traffic [15:55]
  2.  Marketing [11:50]
  3.  Sales [8:59]
  4.  Fulfillment [08:28]

 

[18:16] AntiSleazy Sales Funnel - Your sales funnel doesn't have to be a sleazy, pushy sales funnel. Shift your mindset to thinking about your funnel as a nurture path. Here's how I got there.

 

[19:15] Avoiding Oversimplifying - There's a reason we can't boil down the sales funnel to three simple steps. The sales funnel is all about progress; I break it down into micro steps to make sure we're moving forward, and each step can be easily measured.

 

[23:42] Measurement - You've heard me say this before; you get what you measure! Using data is the best way to progress and strategically pick your next activity. Here's how we measure each phase in our sales funnel.

 

[28:46] Customer Experience - Once someone does become a customer, it's so important to make sure they have an awesome experience!

 

[34:02] Overwhelm Sucks! - I know documenting and building your sales funnel can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be! Make your sales funnel process calm by using one of these two ways.
