And, to do that, I want to tell you a very quick story…
One of the things you might not know about me is that I struggled for quite a while creating my sales funnels.
You see…
There was a time, about 5 years ago, when I had no idea what a funnel even was.
I was starting a new online business (while running two other full time businesses that were already bringing in over 7-figures)…
And I felt like I was doing everything in my business…
Wearing all the hats...
But I knew that working smarter was just a couple steps away.
You know what I’m talking about right?
I just knew if I could tweak and work on my funnels I would be set.
I would be able to watch the numbers and the statistics.
(You know I’m a numbers girl!)
If I could just get the funnels set up correctly, then I would be able to multiply my income without any extra work.
The problem was…
When I went to create a funnel, it took SUCH a long time...
In fact, I avoided creating anything to sell at first just so I wouldn’t have to create a funnel!
I was so frustrated because I knew other entrepreneurs online were making a killing with their funnels.
I had a funnel set up for my best lead magnet…
I pushed that lead magnet into giveaways to add new leads to my list…
But I just didn’t see the amazing results that I heard my online colleagues reporting and I just couldn’t figure out why.
I knew that there was something I was missing...
But for some reason I just couldn’t figure it out.
Believe me I watched so many funnels from the outside.
I signed up for everyone's lead magnet…
I bought the upsells...
I tried so hard to figure it out on my own and was starting to feel really defeated.
I wanted to give up :-(
And I know I’m not the only one who feels that way after a pretty embarrassing launch where nothing seems to work…
But I’m not one to give up.
I have that drive to “keep going.”
Something inside me made me feel like I was just about to crack the code.
Have you ever been there, my friend?
It’s like you can see the light at the end of the funnel, I mean tunnel ;-) and if you can just get over that last little hurdle then you know you’ll be the one bragging about your success...
Well, that was me.
I just didn’t know how to walk toward the light!
Then I had an amazing conversation with one of my mentors and the light bulb just went off...
She said…
“What if we look at your funnel together? A new set of eyes always helps me.”
“You know what?” I replied. “That would be amazing! I’m just spinning my wheels and need a fresh new look!”
So that very same day I set up a new appointment with my mentor…
I asked her to review my funnel…
And then she sent me an invoice that, quite frankly, made my eyes water :-{
But you know what?
To this day, it was the best money I’ve ever spent in my business.
I was at a breaking point with my funnels and think maybe I didn’t have the right to be in this business and wasn’t creative/smart/clever/worthy enough…
But it changed everything.
Here’s why…
After our conversation, she gave me a list of 3 specific things to tweak in my funnel
Not 30.
Not 15.
Just 3.
And, the crazy thing was that they weren’t anything major. Just little updates to the flow of the funnel and specific steps to help convert viewers.
I just had to flip the offer around to focus on a few main elements and pull the others out as a bonus…
And I had to tweak the intro a bit…
And add in a couple of close steps at the end.
At first I was a little shocked - I expected quite a lot more for my money to be honest ;-)
But I made the changes as suggested, and pushed a brand new set of leads through my funnel.
The results?
In a word - amaze-balls. (as my younger sister would say!)
(In a few words: I’m so grateful, because I wasn’t really ready to give up on this business of mine and was feeling pretty down!)
As soon as I tested this funnel, the leads started converting!
Within 6 weeks, I had more strategy calls scheduled in a week than I had in the prior 6 months.
You know I’m a straight shooter and I’m not going to tell you that I was making 10k months right away.
But by week 12, I was bringing in $2k months.
That felt life changing to me after $0 months in this new business.
Within 6 months, I had sold my first 5k offer. (all without Facebook ads mind you).
More conversion than my business has ever seen. :-)
This is the lead magnet to consult funnel that launched my success online, and what has been the catalyst for me to go on and attract the clients I want to work with and generate over 1000 leads in the first year, and has allowed me to double my leads every year and increase my social followings on strategic platforms by hundreds of percents.
My goal is to double my leads and income every year with Time, Money & Happiness Matters.
All from using funnels I just didn’t know enough about to adjust and wanted to give up trying.
Bottom Line: This Is The Funnel That Started It All
But that’s not the reason I’m telling you this story...
I’m not here to “sell you” on creating funnels (because you already know that funnels are a necessity in order to free up more of your time and start the process of automation - letting your business make money even when you are on vacation!)...
Or to talk about my success.
I tell you my story because I would have never created such amazing funnels if I hadn’t reached out to my mentor…
Because I had pushed myself outside of the education and skills and could go no further...
I just needed something more…
That focus.
If my funnels hadn’t started working, I probably would have thought about closing up my business and today I’d be working just in my IT firm, frustrated with my commute…and the lack of serving those I know I am meant to serve.
That wasn’t the vision I had for myself…
And of course, I would not be writing you this personal letter to you today - with this level of confidence - if it had not been for her words of wisdom and gentle redirection.
Her Insights - Those 3 Small Tweaks - Were the Difference Between Success and Frustration For Me…
They were the difference between being stuck in the tunnel not moving - earning a decent, but average $10-15k per month for the rest of my life…
To now earning $25k+ months. My next goal is $50k/months.
I truly believe that.
And I know after working with several female business owners and online professionals just like I was...
They’re stuck in their own tunnel.
They know they need a funnel and they have the programs needed to make it happen…
But they lack the guidance and the time to really work on all of their funnels to create the highest converting funnels to their lead magnets.
And what frustrates them most is that - they know they’re close…
They know they’re on the edge of success, just standing in the tunnel not moving…
They’ve got an audience they want to nurture …
They’re building a sales pyramid to sell into…
They’re motivated to make something happen…
But they just don’t have the time to spend on perfecting their funnel, and so they are stuck in the tunnel doing nothing, unsure of the next step toward the light.
Which Brings Me To The Funnel Accelerator…
The best way I have found to start moving toward the light in your tunnel is to learn from someone else.
Having your own high-level mentor to guide you toward the light...
Someone who’s been there before and knows how to do it…
Just like I did.
That’s the shortest, easiest path to success, and that’s exactly what The Funnel Accelerator is all about.
If you know success is right around the corner...
And you feel like your moving so slow (or at a standstill) toward the light…
And if you know with some extra accountability you’ll be right on your way toward success...
Then, if you qualify, I’d like to invite you to apply for The Funnel Accelerator program where my team and I will partner with you to help you get out of the tunnel and into the light of success.
