sales funnel Archives - The Naked Hippies Way

We’ve been online marketers for eight years. Our story is most likely similar to yours.

When we first started, we didn’t realize what an emotional roller coaster ride it would be.

We knew we wanted to learn how to use the internet to build extra income … we knew that others were successful at doing this … we jumped in and got started, filled with anticipation and excitement.

Oh, so quickly we began to “pitch” our opportunities to everyone we knew and oh boy! Soon our families and friends would run away when they saw us coming.

Phooey! Why is it when you are so sure this is something that everyone would want to do, it turns out no one is interested? Or very few at the least.

Here’s the issue: 98% of those new to the industry do not have a funnel set up and they enter the market SELLING.

They end up alienating everyone – family, friends, future customers.

And soon, they are discouraged, frustrated, exhausted and confused.

Here’s the solution: Build your funnel first.

Here are the overall steps to building your funnel.

These are the basic steps to give you the big picture.

Each step builds on the previous one.

The timing is crucial and is what we teach, along with a multitude of marketing tips inside our private Facebook group. (you become a member of our private group whenever you invest in any of the products listed on our “Products We Use” tab above.)

1. CAPTURE LEADS via a compelling capture page

Offer something for free such as a free e-book or free training course in exchange for their email address. Something that provides a solution to a problem people are experiencing and searching for answers to solve.

Every lead comes in at the top of the funnel through your free offer.

As the process continues, the leads (some, not all) will move to the next step, further down the funnel until they become your customers.

*Your capture page will need to be linked to an autoresponder which will allow you to develop an email campaign that runs on auto-pilot.

Example of a free offer:

2. COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR LEADS

Now you are building your list and have the platform to communicate and share even more value with those who opt in.

Communicate with consistency. Show up in their inbox every single day. Provide continuous content that teaches, inspires, motivates and gives your list a vision for what is possible for them.

Example of an email campaign:

3. ADD AN IRRESISTIBLE OFFER

The next step is to make an irresistible offer – one that will turn your leads into customers. This could be an affiliate product or low-cost tool that is inexpensive, but highly valuable.

Example of an irresistible offer for $25:

4. REPEAT STEP 2

Consistency and value in their inbox every single day. Plus your list into your training, conference calls, events, hangouts … keep providing value and training to serve them.

5. YOUR CORE PRODUCT

As mentioned earlier, each of these steps must flow from one into the next.

As your leads continue to receive your emails, those who make the decision to purchase the irresistible offer have moved further down the funnel and are closer to becoming lifetime customers.

You have built trust by providing exceptional value to your list. Now you can provide a serious offer, your MLM, an expensive training or coaching program.

Example of a residual income opportunity:

Step 6: Repeat Step 2 Again and Again and Again

Now you have turned leads in customers; you are building a team; you are changing lives, including yours!

Continue to teach, to inspire and motivate them. As more irresistible offers and tools come to you and you see the value for your team – share them with your list.

We have been building our business for years, but a few misguided steps when we began caused the 8 year journey to success.

It doesn’t have to be that way for you, if you follow our training and set up your business the right way from the start.

The Naked Hippies Team is building and growing day by day. We work together, we build together, we celebrate the successes of each member … and we support and educate those who started out just like we did … misguided and now stuck.

And now you know why we’re the NAKED Hippies … we strip down to the basics and remove all the unnecessary and limiting bulk that has held you back. We help you build your funnel.

Get on our list … get to our trainings … chat with us on Facebook … hang out with the team for a while to see how we roll. This is YOUR invitation to get in our funnel! http://youfoundus.nakedhippiesteam.com

See you on the inside!

We LOVE our life!

It’s time to get back to the basics No matter what you are doing in your business right now … stop and get back to the basic foundation that will give you the clarity and control that you are striving to achieve.

Here’s the problem.

Most people join a new business, company, opportunity because they see the possibility of what they might be able to achieve. It’s an emotional decision.

They jump in with both feet, start to talk to their close friends and family about the “biz opp” and when no one gets as excited as they are … their balloon pops and they feel deflated.

No worries, the sponsor say … stay focused, keep talking to people. Just share the opportunity. And so they start again … sending messages on Facebook, calling people in their phone, stopping people on the street.

Again, most people say no. And again, their balloon is popped and they drag themselves home, tail between their legs feeling more like Eyeore than bouncy Tigger.

Soon, they have reached their limit. They feel like a failure. They see no prospects in their waiting room and definitely no extra income in their pockets.

Sound familiar? Have you experienced this or do you see your teammates going through this emotional roller coaster?

Let’s back up and start all over now. Let’s sit down and have a business talk, instead of “this product will help you lose weight and you can make money sharing it with others” talk.

There are certain foundations you need to set up in order to build a strong, solid business. And one of the very first foundations to lay is building a list.

Without a list, you will be scrambling all over Facebook, up and down the streets, and cornering Aunt Mary at Thanksgiving to join you in your business.

With a list, you collect the emails of people interested in earning extra income, working from home, starting a new business. They are more targeted than all your aunts and uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, mom and dad.

So where do you begin to build a list? You find a system that has all the tools needed – all in one place. Otherwise you will be more like a plate spinner in the circus, running frantically from plate to plate, trying to keep track of every separate tool you are using in a multitude of different places.

Find a system that has an autoresponder, capture page creator, sales page creator, email campaigns, tracking, sales funnels, list building and most of all, training and support.
