Let’s turn clicks into clients.

From First Click to Paying Client – Building a Sales Funnel That Works

A strong sales funnel is like having a 24/7 team member guiding people from “Who are you?” to “I’m ready to buy!”

1. Understand the Customer Journey

• Top of Funnel: Get noticed with blogs, videos, or a free guide that solves a small problem.

• Middle of Funnel: Build trust using email series and helpful content.

• Bottom of Funnel: Make the offer with a clear sales page, call-to-action, or client success story.

2. Key Funnel Pieces

• Traffic Source: Social media, Google search, or ads.

• Free Gift (Lead Magnet): A small, useful resource.

• Landing Page: A simple page with one clear action.

• Email Series: Short automated emails that build connection.

• Offer: Your product or service, with clear benefits and proof.

3. Automate Lead Nurturing

No more chasing every lead by hand. Tools like ConvertKit can:

• Send welcome emails automatically

• Share helpful content over time

• Tag people based on what they click or download

4. Simple Funnel Example for Solopreneurs

Instagram Post → Free PDF → 5-Day Email Series → Book a Call → New Client

You don’t need a huge funnel—just one that works and makes sense for your business.
