You know you need a sales funnel…but, real talk, you kinda need to know what it is first.
Sales funnels, marketing funnels, product funnels, lead funnels, click funnels…the marketing world is always talking about these darn things and you know enough to nod your head at the right points but when it comes to actually implementing one in your small business strategy, you feel lost.
Fear not! You’re about to enter the Shame-Free Funnel Demystification Zone. I’m tearing down the hype and confusion around sales funnels, so you can spend more energy actually selling (and helping your clients sell) and less on Funnel FOMO.
This episode of Awkward Marketing is for you if:
- You’re a small business owner and you feel less than confident about what a sales funnel is and how to implement one on your website (or anywhere else for that matter)
- You’re a digital marketing professional and you help your clients build funnels but have a hard time explaining the basics so they “get” what you’re doing and why
Follow along with the parts of a sales funnel here:
