    Whether you call it the client journey, the sales process, or the map of your offers, a sales funnel is an integral component to building your business thereby bringing you closer to potential customers through marketing. With six years in the industry under my belt, I have had a lot of exposure to strategists who use this approach to help businesses grow. Recently, however, I’ve noticed a trend: entrepreneurs are being sold on sensationalized sales funnels that leave them penniless. In today’s episode, I discuss this phenomenon, how to identify these one-size-fits-all “solutions” and provide a better idea on how to approach growing your business through this otherwise helpful tool. 


    We’re talking about:

    • Why cookie cutter sales funnels don’t work!

    • General rules of thumb when approaching sales funnels 

    • The trend I’ve been seeing and its impact

    • A basic sales funnel example + why even this model wouldn’t work for some businesses

    • My own personal experience investing in a one-size-fits-all funnel

    • Book recommendations on marketing/business strategies
