Funnel Fallacy #2 | Compelling copy

In the last newsletter we covered the  WHO and HOW  (Component  #1) when it comes to creating a massively successful lead generation funnel.  After gaining a crystal clear picture of WHO your ideal client is, it will be easier to nail down the second component… Writing  compelling  copy for your funnel that  resonates  at a high level   with your target audience.  Resonates?  Resonating is the feeling that develops when someone trusts, believes, and connects with who you are, what you stand for, and what you offer  (you or your company).  This piece is  extremely important  to mention, as it sets the tone, theme, and positioning when writing each copy element for your funnel.  In other words, when your copy resonates at a high level with your ideal prospects, you can ultimately   increase your conversion rate .  So yes, this is important!

At the time I was working in sales for a 50 year old plastic packaging company. I got an idea for a new division. I brought it to senior management. They said yes.  And we moved forward. I grew that division to 45 million in annual revenue in less than five years. From there, I became the CEO of the first digital portrait studio chain in the United States. When we brought it into franchising, things really started to take off. Before long, I became known as one of the young guns of franchising. We were growing… millions upon millions in revenue, ranked one of the top 15 hot franchises by Entrepreneur Magazine by year five. I had this formula for success all
