3 Reasons You Need To Understand Sales Funnels

3 Reasons You Need To Understand Sales Funnels

Are you having trouble get results from your latest Facebook ad?

You know Facebook is one of the best places for you to promote your business but something just isn’t connecting. Before you start your next campaign, I want you to take a look at your sales funnel.

What Is A Sales Funnel?

Ryan Deiss of Digital Marketer describes a sales funnel as a “multi-step, multi-modality process that moves prospective browsers into buyers“.

Moving browsers to buyers can be done in several ways:

  • Email marketing- such as nurture sequences, welcome series. The keys here are to start delivering immense value very quickly and establish rapport with your audience.
  • Content marketing- such as blogs, videos or other types of content.  Regular blog posts lead to more lead generation and sales. For more on the power of blogging for your business, click here.
  • Paid advertising- this can help introduce your business to audiences already interested in your product or service. You can also retarget people who have previously interacted with you online.

3 Reasons You Need To Understand Sales Funnels

Sales funnels give you a picture of your whole online sales cycle. Making sure you understand and are a part of the planning process is important to every member of your team.

Your Facebook ads expert will also want to meet with you so they can understand more about your business. Having a funnel and understanding each step along the way will help you both see the results you want.

Why should you take the time to learn more about funnels? Here are a few things to consider:

You can spend $10,000’s sending traffic to a website that doesn’t convert.

Conversion is the #1 goal you should have for your Facebook ads. Getting a customer through your funnel depends however on a lot of different things. Your offer, website, email sequences, content and retargeting all have to be in place to ensure success.

Mapping out your funnel maximizes your profits.

Sales funnels can be as simple or complicated as needed. It all depends on the needs of your clients.

Mapping out a funnel can help you identify the most successful ways to attract your ideal audience and ensure that you are offering them the right solutions for their needs at the right time.

Amongst other factors, ensuring that your funnel steps are organized in the right steps is one of the most important differences between a successful and unsuccessful funnel.

Creating your offer’s funnel empowers you to understand the marketing of your offer.

Marketing is powerful. When you take time to understand your marketing strategy, you become a more informed client. You begin to understand how all the parts of your business work together.

Most importantly, by learning about marketing, you learn exactly what your audience is craving from you.

It provides invaluable insight into what aspects of your business may not be delivering as you would like.

In Conclusion

Sales funnels are a key part of any business plan. By taking the time to develop your sales funnel, you can save yourself time and money on your next ads campaign. If you are looking for someone to personally help you with your funnels and ads, I would love to chat and see if we are a good fit.

Tell me in the comments- what’s your biggest question about creating funnels?

“No one is coming to save you.” This can be extr “No one is coming to save you.” 

This can be extremely triggering for those of us who experienced that feeling in childhood. 

When the system failed us... 

When police showed up with bad intentions. 
When CPS never showed.
When people you begged to help betrayed you. 

“No one is coming to save you” can feel like a death sentence... One child trauma survivors know all too well. 

It feels a lot like life promised us one thing and SWITCHED UP. “You’re on your own kid.” 

^^^^ If that resonates with you, hear me now, please.

There is a stirring happening. 

A future of giants and titans who have saved themselves. They heard that line and got to work. 

If any tiny portion of you has felt a desire to change the systems of government, leadership, service, religion, community, let that be a call to rise. 

When I say “No one’s coming to save you” please hear this 👇

“No one is coming to save you - this is the generational cycle we can break by being brave. We can be the first generation to save ourselves and lay the map for the next generations. Give them a hand up. It’s time to step up and be the leader you needed. It’s not fair and it will continue to not be fair until many leaders say ‘the buck stops with me’.” 

❤️

With that, I will be unavailable for the next 48 hours as I need sleep and rest. 

I’m so behind on comments and texts and responses. I’ll catch up soon 🙏

But we’ve got work to do, and we’ve all got to take care of ourselves before we can help others.
I will remember this week for the rest of my life. I will remember this week for the rest of my life. On so many new levels 🥺

So many things have been changing in my life… and in me. It’s been gentle like a supernova. Old things made new. 

@mrdavegonzalez THANK YOU for being the architect of connections for so many people in many industries!! 

The rooms I spoke to were so vulnerable, authentic, kind, generous, and SAFE. Just wow… 

The types of people that inspire anyone to greatness. Really incredible people doing good things in this world!! 

I did new things this week that I’ve never done before in this way… 

My wise therapist once said “you should standup comedy, you make me laugh.” 

It’s always been one of my biggest fears!! 

But I made a commitment to take good advice from wise people. 

So I did a standup routine for the first part of a talk. It felt so new and free. 

And it didn’t totally bomb 😂😂😂😂

And something happened for the first time in my life. I think the best way to explain it is… 

Some call it channeling or embodying. 
Some call it prophesying or being a mouthpiece. 

All I know is truth and wisdom came out of my mouth in a way I’ve never done in business before. 

If I met you at either event this past week - thank you for being YOU. 

As my life changes before my eyes (good changes - growth and opportunity), I have to say, it’s a constant reminder of how fortunate and favored I have been throughout my journey as an internet marketer. 

Love you all ❤️
“No one is coming to save me…” This picture was t “No one is coming to save me…”

This picture was taken right as that truth hit me like a 2x4. It stung.

We were rebuilding my business after 2022 and I was full of hope. I’d learned a lot and was ready to build right.

But the hits didn’t stop…

Surprise tax bill we weren’t prepared for…

Court case where I was intensely cross examined…

Kids with dreams, activities, uniforms, fees…

Then my dad died suddenly before I could ask important questions.

He hadn’t planned for a funeral - so we stepped up. $25k for his end of life. Our “rebuild” safety net, depleted.

Then I broke my hand racing and couldn’t type fast. How was I supposed to catch up?!

We still had full payroll and family on our team. If I didn’t work, nothing moved. I had to generate $80k a month to keep the lights on. With a dead dad and a broken hand.

So I worked through mourning.

And yet I was still angry at my parents - a dark, growing sliver of my heart embittered.

I couldn’t breathe - panic attacks hit daily. “Is this how being an adult goes? Is this the rest of my life?”

Looking around at leaders of industries, begging for a way free… only to realize the truth was obvious.

They too were on a conveyor belt of “keep the lights on” and “do more.”

WHERE WAS THE FREEDOM ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROMISED ME?

Entrepreneurship is incredible - I love business and marketing.

But we missed things along the way (like building security, becoming your own safety net - not just making more money to fix each crisis).

No one is coming to save me… or you. People don’t hand out parachutes for emergencies.

Depressing but I can handle truth. I prefer it.

So I did the internal work. Saving yourself is a long haul and I needed to be ready.

I forgave my parents (and today I’m so grateful for the relationships I have with my family and mom).

And I stopped believing entrepreneurship alone was enough. We need real battle plans for real life.

I found a way to build forever-security from a mentor I’d trade lives with. I’d love to share it once I’m off the belt fully.

Because…

No one is coming to save us - it feels unfair.

Yet it’s the truth.

Before you save the world, save you and yours ❤️
I wish I had seen bodies like mine when I was a yo I wish I had seen bodies like mine when I was a young mother. So I’m sharing it now!!!!!

Absolutely obsessed. And my book Unfiltered is a USA-Today best-selling book - thanks to all of youuuuuu 🫶

$60 in the account. I had to choose between cupc $60 in the account. 

I had to choose between cupcakes for my kid’s birthday and food for the family.

That was the number I looked at a few years ago. AFTER I had achieved success.

I had made millions before that low moment... 

And was sitting there staring at a balance that didn’t work.

But honestly that wasn’t even the worst part.

The worst part was waking up and not recognizing my own life.

Bitter at the business.

Hollow in the relationships.

Even the thought of a regular job felt soul-sucking.

I just kept thinking… I need to change something.
(Anything. Please.)

And then I remembered.

I had forgotten the most important thing.

I was allowed to make a new choice.

You know that feeling? When your life looks nothing like what you thought it would, and somehow you’ve convinced yourself you’re stuck with it?

That was me. On the floor of my life, sobbing. 

Until I remembered I could become my own role model. The person I admired was able to be BUILT.

I had built it before. I just had to go back and pick up what I learned on the way up… and bring it with me on the way back.

People like us, we build things. We rebuild things.

Here are the things I focused on:

✨ Faith and imagination and delusion are closer relatives than you think (in business vision).
You need both to see something new where the old thing broke.

✨ You’re allowed to change your mind.
Try new things. Pick a new direction for a project.

✨ Take ownership for the things that aren’t your fault.
Especially those. That’s where your power lives. I’m not talking about childhood trauma... I’m talking about who you choose to be after it. 

✨ Lean on your creative imagination. It’s been waiting for you.
Work like hell on yourself. Not on the optics. On YOU.

✨ And do not have a single minute unaccounted for. I had become irresponsible with my time. I was calling self-pity “healing.”
When you’re stuck… serve. Help one person today before you close the laptop.

They will tell you it’s too late...
That THIS is just who you are now.

They are entirely, completely wrong (if you decide so).

You don’t need to burn down your life. 

You just forgot you’re allowed to build one you like.
:]
