Takeaways

  • Dawn explains that funnels are systems of getting people into your world and moving them into the buying process. The top level are leads–people who give you their email and contact and from there, you aim to nurture them into the buying process.
  • Funnels you need: Landing page funnels. This is your main funnel to get people in the door. From there you can have an evergreen webinar funnel, you can have a sales page funnel with a baby offer, or even upsales, email nurture sequences, etc.
  • Dawn explains that the power of an upsell is that it gets people to commit more. It is a process to warm them up. For your upsell, you can do masterclasses, digital course, etc. Normally the price point for an upsell is in the $97 price point. A downsell offer is normally around $37. The key is giving a ton of value–10X the value for that price.
  • 30% is a standard funnel–but you really want to aim for 50%. Dawn says that hers is around 60%. You want to make sure your traffic is high so that the conversion rate gets better. When you add in the upsells and downsells, that will really help your conversion rate.
  • Dawn says your HEADLINE matters. She changed the headline of her ad and it 3X her leads that day. Use emotional words that will get people to stop scrolling. 
  • Invest in your business–you NEED TO invest in a program that will help your funnel. Dawn recommends Leadpages. Lowest price point, good quality.
  • Dawn tells us that making funnels that convert does take time. It’s not going to happen overnight, but you do need to invest in the right platforms to maximize your growth.
  • A Facebook Pixel is the code that Facebook uses to track everyone who lands on your page, searches you, etc. If you do Facebook Ads, you will want to use this code to find MORE people who already opted in. Dawn says for your Facebook Pixel, make sure you only have ONE. You need only one for your business.
