I’m betting a big one. In fact your funnel is you, isn’t it?
Seriously. I’m betting you know a lot about marketing. You’ve been on training calls to promote yourself on Facebook, Twitter, your blog, forums, articles, LinkedIn, possibly on skype or cold calling training. Awesome stuff.
You’ve been taught that you have to develop the “know, like and trust” factor so someone connects with you. Maybe you initiated the connect, maybe they came to you because of something you wrote.
Now what? You build on that “friendship”, right? You respond back, you private message them, maybe you’ll eventually
talk to them via phone or skype. You’re busy building that friendship. Takes up a good amount of your time but you feel great. There is someone you can talk to, just to help them, teach them something you know a lot about. They sign up for your free newsletter or invitation to a webinar and you’ve got an autoresponder set up so you can build your list. Awesome !
And you go on to do more marketing, spreading your seeds so that you will have a harvest – some day.
You’ve been doing it for years, just like that. All totally cool stuff.
But ……..
How do you get them into your primary business. How do you actually make some money off all that marketing you’ve been doing. It’s hard isn’t it?.
Unless you have a funnel that doesn’t include you.
Now wait, I can just hear you saying, what do you mean, a funnel without me? .
Let’s say you’ve done a great job on your facebook marketing, you’ve got an optin form on facebook that people can sign up for and it takes them straight into your funnel. Your funnel takes them through a series of powerful videos, each one taking them deeper through an education process of network marketing, your primary company, the comp plan and how they can make money, how much it’s going to cost, the training model, etc.
They are moving down ……….
They are moving deeper and deeper through the funnel, evoking powerful emotions, no guarantees but the backing of a strong team. Honesty and integrity, the very values that make up the core of you. The end goal is teamwork. The end of that particular aspect of the funnel is you have either lost them or they are in your company. Once in, the training starts. Where to market, how to market? You can use the skills you already have. Awesome !
No more effort on your part than you are doing right now but you now have a funnel. A funnel to drive them straight into YOUR business.
Your funnel. Powerful, effective. On top of your marketing skills. Which means you are making money ………..now !
Not some day but now !
Here’s my offer to you. Fill out the form on the top right, get on my list and I promise you I will send you a sneak peak. Now ‘Shhhhh’, this is going to change your life and I want only those who have the brains to see and use the power of what I’m offering to participate.
So do it now. Sign up and sit back for the Power of the Possible.
See you on the other side !

Joyce,
What a great article. Building a funnel is easy. Building a funnel that works effectively is a little bit harder to do. I think everyone should use a funnel, so they can free up some of their time, and work smarter.
That being said, you still need to get your prospect to like you, trust you and want to do business with you. I’ve found that videos can help do that. So can the written word.
But it does take time. Sometimes it might take your prospect 1-2 years to transition from your funnel to your downline. You just have to be patient, but consistent. And you have to add LOTS of people to your funnel each day, to find those few precious gems.
Thanks for sharing. Great post.
