Funnel Development and Tactical map to scale any business to success.

Choice of tools for Funnels design and Development

Wondering what you will get? This is a clear observation of what i offer. 

This pre-structuring ensures that you have clarity in your funnel's flow, purpose, and goals. Here's a method i use to structure your funnel layouts:

1. Your Goal:

• What's the primary objective of this funnel? (e.g., capturing leads, selling a product, onboarding users, etc.)

2. Map Out Customer Journey:

• Understand your target audience's mindset.

• Recognize the stages they go through: Awareness, Consideration, Decision.

3. Sketch a Funnel Blueprint:

a. Top of the Funnel (Awareness):

• Landing Page/Lead Magnet: Offer valuable content or incentives in exchange for their contact information.

• Opt-in Form: Capture leads. Think about which information you absolutely need.

b. Middle of the Funnel (Consideration):

• Educational Content: Webinars, video series, email sequences to educate your potential customers about your product or service.

• Retargeting Ads: Target your leads on platforms like Facebook, reminding them of your product/service.

c. Bottom of the Funnel (Decision):

• Sales Page: Present your offer in detail. Include testimonials, benefits, features, and a clear CTA.

• Upsells/Downsells: Offer complementary products or services post-purchase.

• Thank You Page: Thank your customers, provide next steps, or offer additional resources to keep them coming back.

4. Identify Necessary Integrations:

• Payment gateways, email marketing tools, CRM integrations, etc.

5. Draft Content:

• Before i begin building, i draft the content for each stage. This includes copy for landing pages, email sequences, ad copy, etc.

6. Design Elements:

• Identify any graphics, videos, or visual elements you'll need. This might include product images, infographics, video testimonials, etc.

7. Feedback and Review:

• Before moving to the building phase, i present your structured layout to you for feedback and make necessary adjustments based on your preference, depending on the technicality involved.

8. Technical Considerations:

• I Think about mobile responsiveness, loading times, SEO elements (if it's a long-term funnel and not a quick campaign), and any custom scripts i might want to add.

9. Plan for Testing:

• I decide on how we'll A/B test different elements of your funnel (different headlines, CTAs, images, etc.).

Once I've structured your funnel layout using this method, the building process becomes much more streamlined and focused. I know exactly what you need to implement in your funnel-building tool, be it Systeme.io or any other platform. Always remember that the effectiveness of a sales funnel lies not just in its structure but also in the clarity of its messaging and the value of its offer. I do that too.
