How To Digital Declutter #1

Create more of a destination with your content and the overall structure.

Funnels & Follow-through – Easy Funnel/Email process

Creating an Ascending Transaction Model

Questions To Start To Define Your Funnel

1. What is your sales and leads process?2. How do you currently acquire new leads and

new customers?3. How do you respond and manage your leads?

Sales Funnel Success Factors

1. Look at the behaviours – not just an automated process – where do they stop a video?

2. Build multi-phased campaigns, all centered around “response indicators.” - Focus your energy on the ones who demonstrate they’re the most interested

3. Remember the 67% - we don’t all buy at once4. Use Multiple Conversion Points – not all CTA need to be at the “end”.5. Tell Your Brand Story6. Test & Retest7. Look at other avenues to distribute your story – partners, affiliates,

clients, etc.

“Your landing page is the pathway into your Digital ATM”

The Two Basic Types Of Landing Pages

1. E-commerce based, where you drive customers to buy products or services; the goal on these pages is click-through.

2. Lead-generation page where you gather visitors’ information, and normally trade something of value.

A landing page should not just be another page on your website. You should specifically build and optimize a page for a single goal. If you are working on a website platform like WordPress, there are many tools that will aid in the creation of a landing page.

Mistakes Made In Sales Funnel Management

Not balancing lead generation and lead management

Not focusing on your overall sales process

No sales training

Not measuring each stage of the funnel. Is it working?

How To Set Up A Funnel For Your ATM

• Step 1 – Create Your Gift• Step 2 – Establish your technology (mailchimp, InfusionSoft,

etc.• Step 3 – Create landing page or “Campaign”• Step 4 – Create your email sequence • Step 5 – Move Your Audience To Your Funnel• Step 6 – Create a new “Gift” Monthly• Step 7 – Monitor & Manage

Steps To Creating A Kick-Ass Functioning Funnel

1. Design Your Landing Page2. Optimise & Test – Refine Your Process3. Set Your Conversion Values & Analyse4. Optimise & Test

How To Optimise Landing Pages

1. Use clear titles and a layout that conveys your offer and incentive quickly.2. Speed is your friend and visitors are impatient; 79% of users scan a page rather

than reading it.3. Keep your visitors focused on filling out the form, and remove all distractions. If

you use a photo, have it visually direct users to your form.4. In general, more fields on a form means more barriers to entry.5. Give your audience something that is of actual value; there is no room for fluff. If

you want someone to give you their information, provide them with something worthwhile.

6. Trust is key. Good design, easy-to-understand offerings, and testimonials from others all build trust. It’s a lot easier to sign up for an email list or buy a product if you trust the content on a website.
