ClickFunnels Founded in 2014 and took the landing page builders market by storm and reached a net value of $360 Million dollars in 3 years only.
not only that they did it without raising any venture capital money, pretty impressive right?
The short explanation on how Russel Brunsson (ClickFunnels Founder) did it, is he was was able to combine his superb marketing skills with a very good piece of software. And by doing so also enabled any business who uses clickfunnels to 2x,5x and even 10x their business. In this clickfunnels review we will do our best to explain what made them stand out in a very competitive market.
What made Clickfunnels so successful?
Clickfunnels perfected the art of creating Sales Funnels. A sale funnel is a series of pages you put your potential customer through. With the main purpose is capturing a lead (email/phone/address) and maximizing average spend by using different marketing tactics.
Example 1
Let’s say you’re selling essential oils for $9 a bottle when your customer is going to check out for 1 bottle you can offer he or she 3 bottles for the price of 2 if they take it you already you doubled the customer spend, on the next page you can offer them a complementary product like a Diffuser for $75 and now you got $93 average cart value instead of only $9 for 1 bottle of essential oil. and this is all done with the customer only having to put the credit card details once tnx to one click upsell feature and not having to leave your sales funnel.
Example 2
A real estate agent looking for new home buyer leads he can create a sales funnel where he “bribes” potential leads to leave their contact information, in exchange for a free “The complete home buyer guide” book. after leaving their details they get the book , gain value from it and are more likely to schedule a meeting and hear more from that real estate broker.
That’s the magic of sales funnels, and that’s how Russel was able to build such an amazing company without raising any venture capital . Russel’s best funnels are his free+ shipping products. what he would do is give you one of his great books for free like: DotCom Secrets or Experts Secrets and you only need to pay for shipping. So basically russel covers his shipping costs and on the next pages he will sell you on other clickfunnels products (the builder, coaching, etc) so he ends up making a profit by giving away free products and believe it or not that was his secret (and still is) for building a multi million dollars company.
The Builder
Clickfunnels allows you to create sales funnels, landing pages, websites, memberships sites all with a very user friendly drag and drop button editor that anyone can use to build any webpage. You can also integrate Email autoresponders (i.e GetResponse, Aweber), payment gateways (i.e stripe, paypal), upsells, downsells into your sales funnels. If back in the days in order to create similar webpages you needed to hire a designer a programmer and a copywriter (check out FunnelScripts), all you need today is one piece of software called clickfunnels.
You can choose from many available free templates and clickfunnels also helps you decide which one is most suited for your needs (Collect emails, sell product, host a webinar). Or based on your industry or type of business (eCommerce, Local business, Author etc)
