These types of funnels, using webinars or Video Sales Letters (VSL) brings in millions for companies across the globe. Have you tried these?
We use them for clients too and they are very effective for driving appointments and sales, when done right.
First, you must understand the basic frameworks. Second, pick the one that matches your business optimally, and start driving traffic to it.
BONUS:
You'll also learn about the MVF (minimal viable funnel) - and how adding more value at the top of your customer journey can shorten the user experience, and bring leads and sales faster to your organization.

Thanks to David Vogelpohl and the entire www.wpengine.com team for providing such great technology and business leadership!
--- Hi David & Welcome! Please introduce yourself: Awesome, thanks Jon.
I’m the VP of Web Strategy at WP Engine and my role is in leading teams supporting WP Engine’s contributions to WordPress Core, supporting technology partners in the WordPress ecosystem, and I am also the StudioPress brand lead within the WP Engine business.
I’ve been in digital since 1996 and have worked both in-house and owned my own WordPress digital agency.
I have experience leading teams building and optimizing digital revenue strategies across a wide variety of industries.
I’m a regular speaker at technology and digital marketing events where I leverage my technical business background to bring marketing insights to nerds and nerd insights to marketers.
--- What are you working on now, and what are some exciting new things in "digital"?
One of the most exciting things I’m working on now are updates to the Genesis framework and StudioPress themes to help make building WordPress sites easier than ever.
Genesis 2.8 (released in January) includes a demo content auto-loader that turns hours or days of setup time loading demo content into minutes.
Using themes built with Genesis 2.8, users can quickly load in demo Gutenberg blocks and requisite plugins for the kind of site they’re building. The Gutenberg blocks are also re-usable, which makes it easier to use elements again and again as site owners continue to evolve.
I’m excited about Genesis 2.8 and the demo content auto-loader as it helps solve “the most annoying problem on the internet”... “My theme doesn’t look anything like the demo!!!”
On digital trends: One of the more interesting and effective things to emerge in the last few years is account based marketing (ABM) or using retargeting and ad networks to get the right ad to the right person or group of people.
Having the power to put ads in market in this way gives marketers the ability to tailor messages and funnels like never before. Additionally, sales teams and marketers are also more tightly connected than ever.
Through ABM, marketing teams can literally help close the deal with direct and exact knowledge of the stage of the deal and perhaps the right information to present.
Of course with the power of ABM comes great responsibility to make sure you’re getting the right level of consent and being on top of your data retention strategies (in various forms depending on geography) in order to drop the pixels to place targeted ads; however, once you master navigating the waters of consent, ABM can be a powerful arrow in your quiver.
--- In your professional journey, David - what are some BIG learned lessons along the way?
Every one of us is on a non-stop mission to spin plates. We spin plates at home keeping things clean or paying our bills. We spin plates at work keeping our inbox clear, or as leaders.. keeping our teams moving in the right direction.
Early in my career as a leader as I moved from team to team spinning my leadership plate I would spend a lot of time teaching people how to spin the plate “perfectly”, rather than working with my teams to figure out the best way to spin the plate.
The result of this approach was that when I returned to the plate later, things had gotten worse. The plates were wobbling and weren’t spinning in the “perfect” way I left them.
The instructions had gotten lost, processes broke down, and the structure I had left experienced entropy as structures tend to do.
After experiencing degraded plate spinning, I got some advice from a few smart friends and changed my approach.
Instead of focusing on how the plates where spinning, I started focusing on how to support my teams at being better plate spinners. What strategies could they come up with to spin the plates in the perfect way?
The result of this approach was that when I came back to the plates, they had actually gotten better! Now there were 3 plates spinning and laser beams keeping the plates from wobbling.
It was incredible. The lesson I learned was that by focusing on helping your teams evolve their strategic thinking and operational execution abilities, you can scale your leadership impact exponentially and help create the next generation of leaders to help push your business forward.
--- Biggest insight, distinction or takeaway?
Focus on performance as a product.
How your visitors experience your brand is key to you getting them to open up their wallets, click on your ads, or fill out your lead form.
Just remember that in a world of questions, the fastest answer wins.

Creating landing pages for your ad traffic is really not that complex. However, most business owners I speak to have no real understanding of the psychology, layout and technical aspects of building highly converting landing pages.
In this podcast, I talk about the essential items you must include to get better converting pages, and that will ultimately result in better quality leads.
The recording was cut short, but if you'd like the presentation and download of the page framework, just reach out to me on support@chaosmap.com

If you are the owner or a partner in a professional services business (plastic surgeon, med spa practice, law office, accounting firm, real estate broker, financial planner, management consulting firm, training and development company and any higher end service based business) - make sure you listen to this podcast episode completely!
I'll take you through the most common online problem of capturing essential lead data, and what to do with it. Most often, 80%+ of essential customer, client or patient data is lost because of poor or no follow-up.
But...that's not the biggest issue still. It starts by providing a unique, and highly engaged user experience that sets the right expectations.
Listen while I outline the main problem, and solve it by offering different and new ways of thinking, and how to design a funnel experience that your user-base will love! (and so will your chief financial officer)

In the Facebook ads platform, there are many different types of campaigns and ad types that you can test. Perhaps it's even got you confused.
In today's podcast, you'll hear me talk about "Lead Ads". They are fast and quick to get going, and especially for local businesses, for example in the medical field - plastic surgeons, doctors, med-spas, etc (we do a lot of business in these markets).
I discuss why you might consider lead ads, what targeting options to choose, examples, and also why they are also potentially harmful (imagine that!).

Welcome to the Facebook(tm) Ads Lead Gen Framework - Part II.
I talk about how the 5 steps to get your marketing & sales engine is essential to getting your traffic attraction just right.
I also cover the hot and cold traffic opportunities to build audiences on Facebook that you can build ad creatives and copy from.
Now that you have Part 1 and Part 2 in the lead gen framework, you'll have no excuse but to plan it, build it and track the results as you go to launch.
Learn more: https://chaosmap.com and https://facebook.com/chaosmapmarketing
If you have any questions, please post on the Facebook page.
PART 1 - This is the first part of a presentation of the Facebook Lead Gen Framework for Ads.
Beginning with the source traffic is the wrong way to look at building out your own lead gen framework.
You have to begin with the end in mind, and Jon explains why this is so important, and then goes through the steps to create the framework.
www.chaosmap.com for more information.
If you are struggling to sell on Facebook and via your ads, it's most likely because you are "forcing your message" to the wrong people, at the wrong time - and only to the top percent of buyers.
What about the "other" folks out there? The ones that don't buy right away? We call these the "96%". That's going to change the way your business grows. Fast.
You know that your message needs to be presented between 7-12 times before "they" (your audience) buy. You've heard this before, right?
Using the Facebook platform, you can essentially re-target visitors and existing CRM data, if you so choose. It's a hyper-targeted framework for presenting your on-going messages to a "warm" target that already appreciates what you do.
Plus, you benefit from lower click costs.
As you A/B test ads and landing pages, you can get a terrific return on your investment. We call this maximizing your ROI.

A question I get often is this: “How do we best target our Facebook ads”?
The idea that you present a message to a target audience is well known among marketing geeks, but is often not utilized to the fullest degree by business owners.
And, as you’ve seen in my other posts, an established and clear goal must be front and center before starting any ad campaigns.
These are just a few of the questions to ask as you consider approaching Facebook advertising. You must know where you are going, and determine that the ad platform will reach the audience your are planning for. Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube have their own ad platforms too.
Please share if you like this! In advance, thank you! - Jon Rognerud
Facebook ads and the entire ads platform can seem like hell on earth at times.
In fact, you are probably struggling with the whole idea right now.
As a business owner, marketer and entrepreneur, you’re excited to share your message, your products, your services – your content.
Advertising on Facebook seems like the reasonable thing to pursue, and others have told you so as well (probably even me).
You have heard that advertising done right can turn into profit, but there’s a (BIG) problem.
That beast is preventing you from getting past the barrier and onto the next level.
I talk about that in this episode, and I hope it helps you.

Google is the largest search engine on the planet.
Being found atop Google is one of the best strategies for your business. I'm talking about natural or organic search engine results, not paid strategies like Adwords.
SEO (search engine optimization) provides the most trusted click. Users have a "high-intent" purpose to reach their information, and when you are shown high in the results, and they engage with your listing (webpage), you will improve traffic and eventually conversions (sales) when done right.

The keys to successful advertising, and especially on the Facebook ads platform does not begin with the tools or the platform itself.
Some of these keys will surprise you. But, this will really help you get clarity on how and where to start.
It's true for most all of online advertising for business growth.
