Sales Funnels for Businesses, Rarely Taught, But should be…
In this article we dive into what a Sales Funnel is about, and even who we use: FlowTrack!
As we grow, we will continue to share the services that make our Course Platform a Success and why! For our funnel and landing page needs, we use FlowTrack. (Find out the details below)
So why do you need a Funnel for your business anyways?
If you are a business wanting to get online, sales Funnels offer support with marketing your business online in many unique and focused ways.
Yet, they aren’t something that is often taught in a business management program, or to business owners. And, when it comes to knowing how to create these Funnels, many businesses hire out Funnel building services, or spend a lot of hours having to learn how to make sales funnel work, as the software they dive into is like learning a whole new language.
Wait, what is a Sales Funnel?
Just in case you have not heard of a Sales Funnel…
Here’s what a Sales funnel is about…
A Sales Funnel is:
A marketing tool that can help you to Market, Sell and Promote Your Online Business to potential customers. The idea is to create a targeted digital sales page that builds awareness and funnels the potential client into action. That action could be to get their email or to make a sale. In other words, the action a possible customer or future customer may take is to amongst other options:
- Sell a product of some sort. It could be a physical product, e-learning course, services “online or offline”, and even memberships along with other things. If you are selling something, a sales funnel can help!
- Collect emails to generate an Email list for those interested in an idea or product.
- Promote anything and gain interest.
Should you have a website and funnel too?
Yes! Websites serve their own purpose and it is expected that a business does have a digital footprint or home-base these days. An online presence matters! That being said, a website can be too general when you are wanting to achieve a certain outcome, like selling a specific product, or building an email list. Like us, a lot of businesses can benefit from both using a website and a funnel.
So how do you decide on which sales funnel service to use?
Before we get into that, we want to say that a Sales funnel is not the only thing you will need to be successful to generate leads and make your marketing campaign successful. You will need potentially (depending on your desired business outcome(s)):
Email Marketing, SMS Marketing, Funnels & Landing Pages, Website Builder, Call Tracking + IVR’s, Click-to-Call Phone, Surveys & Forms, Calendar Booking ability, Sales Pipelines, Payments & Invoicing, Chat & Website Widget, Business Automation, Memberships Sites, Lead Management CRM.
Those are a lot of add-on’s above, right! Sure, at this moment you may only need a few of them too. Yes, you may not need that chat and web widget right now, but once your website is gaining traction in your industry, such a communication tool becomes very useful. It can help create an access point for your customers to you.
So what Funnel Software is a great option to look into that is more than just a Funnel? What do we use: FlowTrack
In exploring funnel software options out there, and keeping in mind as we grow there is a need to keep our costs as a new Course Platform manageable… Yet, still allowing our business to scale as our site grows and needs more services. We were on the look out for a unique multifaceted, plus user-friendly sales funnel service.
Having been on the internet for some years now, we were familiar with most of the go-to funnel businesses, yet none that we knew of, or came across encompassed all of these options mentioned above. When we crunched the numbers, this new Funnel business that combined all of the working parts we would need as we grew over time was worth our time.
What was this multi-facetted Funnel Software we found?
FlowTrack
The ease of creating landing pages, and sales pipelines is amazing. There are just so many services in FlowTrack. It makes automating items easier too, like newsletters, sales outreach, business processes, and the list goes on. Automation is key to making your funnel work on its own, and you can automate so much now with FlowTrack. The idea is to set it up, and have the process run while you then can work more on building your business out.
