SFR 232: My New Funnel Building Team...

Published: April 9, 2019, 8 p.m.

I\u2019ve been working on the NEW OfferMind funnel. I have a 7 person funnel building team now, (which is awesome)\u2026

\xa0

So I thought it'd be neat to walk you through:

\xa0

  1. WHY I took the old funnel down\u2026
  2. The structure of the NEW funnel...
  3. The TWO checklists I use to make sure my team can do their job\u2026
  4. How I plan to get MORE big names to speak at the event...
  5. The EPIC offer creation that gonna knock this outta the ballpark!

\xa0

WHY I KILLED THE ORIGINAL FUNNEL

\xa0

The original OfferMind funnel that I built was incredible. It was working extremely well...\xa0

\xa0

A lot of people had already bought tickets, but I took it down because I when Russell agreed to keynote I wanted to make sure that the funnel was the caliber of Russell freakin\u2019 Brunson.

\xa0

\u2026 there\u2019s also another way that I\u2019m gonna use this NEW funnel to create the BEST OfferMind experience EVER\u2026 so keep reading ;-)

\xa0

HOW TO MAKE A FUNNEL AWESOME

\xa0

The first page is the sales page. Sometimes we put the order form on that page too, but for OfferMind we actually have a separate page.

\xa0

When people join the One Funnel Away Challenge they get a discount code for OfferMind tickets.

\xa0

When people use their discount code to buy an offermind ticket it subtracts 150 bucks from their ticket.

\xa0

Then\u2026

\xa0

And this is brilliant, (if I do say so myself)...

\xa0

When you buy a normal OfferMind ticket, we\u2019ve set it up so that you can get a ticket plus a discovery call for the exact same price.

\xa0

Crazy Cool, eh!\xa0

\xa0

For the exact same price, you can grab a discovery call with your ticket. You add your phone number to the form and it sends that data through a zap over to my phone team who then walk anyone who wants one through a super epic Success Strategy Session.

\xa0

Next, there's a bump coming up\u2026. I don't want to spoil everything, but it's a freaking cool, and I'm gonna leave it at that\u2026 ;-)

\xa0

WANT MORE?

\xa0

On the next page, there\u2019s a sweet VIP upgrade...

\xa0

At a recent event, they had a directory of all the VIPs printed in a booklet that was handed out to EVERYBODY.

\xa0

I was like, "That's so freakin\u2019 cool. Oh my gosh, that's awesome."

\xa0

Think about it\u2026

\xa0

What better way to meet the \u2018Who's Who\u2019 that you wanted to connect with when you booked your ticket in the first place!

\xa0

OfferMind is 1,100 seats, but\u2026

\xa0

Only the VIPs get:

\xa0

  • Their names in the Directory.
  • Early access.
  • Dinner with me.\xa0

\xa0

VIPs get all this crazy cool stuff, but EVERYBODY gets the \u2018Who's Who\u2019 booklet, and you ONLY get to be in the directory if you're a VIP.\xa0

\xa0

I was like, "Oh my gosh, that's awesome."

\xa0

BUT WAIT\u2026 THERE\u2019S MORE!

\xa0

Then one morning, I was thinking about the second OTO \xa0... (I think about this stuff in the shower sometimes)...

\xa0

Check this out...

\xa0

This is so *LEGIT*

\xa0

I've never seen anyone do this. I learned this when I did door-to-door sales.\xa0

\xa0

Here\u2019s what happened:

\xa0

I was knocking in one area and I met a guy. He told me that he was in a real estate thing\u2026.

\xa0

He said, "...but don't do real estate.\u201d

\xa0

Instead, he went to local businesses and told them:

\xa0

  • Hey, when new people move to the neighborhood they create new habits and patterns very quickly.
  • Can we place some of your product in their house for free?
  • We\u2019ll put you on a list which will be included in the bundle of products.
  • It's $50 a month per house that we place.
  • Typically we place 200 houses a month.\xa0

\xa0

...so basically he\u2019d get companies to donate their product plus pay $50 a month to be part of this thing.\xa0

\xa0

They were collecting several hundred thousand dollars, and doing nothing.

\xa0

I was like, "That's ridiculous. That's crazy."

\xa0

So check this out:

\xa0

The first upsell is to VIP, but then the second OTO is the opportunity to buy a one-page ad in my Capitalist Pig Ads Book.

\xa0

Everyone can place an ad for NOT much money at all.

\xa0

At the event, I\u2019ll put these booklets on every single person's chair.

\xa0

So for $500 you can put a full page spread ad in front of a targeted audience of 1,100. That's crazy.\xa0

\xa0

Then as part of the offer, we\u2019ll use that booklet in future OfferMinds and other events...\xa0

\xa0

You can go use Funnel Scripts and all these cool things that we teach you to make sweet ads. Plus, it'll give me even more things to talk about on stage.\xa0

\xa0

I'll give a shout-out to the coolest ones, and immortalize you in the videos.

\xa0

What a freaking sexy offer, right!

\xa0

We're calling it The Capitalist Pig Ads Book. It's super cool.\xa0

\xa0

There's MORE exciting stuff too... but I don't want to kill the goose on everything.

\xa0

TEAMWORK

\xa0

So now, when I building a funnel, I\u2019m NOT always doing all the building. So\u2026

\xa0

I draw out the entire funnel for my team, and then I teach them all the things that they need to know\u2026

\xa0

Then I say, "All right, and now I'm going to start sending you guys your individualized instruction video."

\xa0

There are seven people on my funnel team, and I use a different color pen to go through the entire funnel and walk through each role.

\xa0

To my video guys I say:

\xa0

"Hey, this is what I need from you\u2026\u201d

\xa0

  1. Create a sweet video and model the Funnel Hacking Live video.
  2. I\u2019ll film the video for \u2018this and this\u2019.
  3. I'll film the intro video for the thank you page.

\xa0

I record it on camera, then I take that file and send it over to my video people and I say, "That\u2019s your role in this funnel build."

\xa0

Then I go to the copywriter and say: "Hey, you're going to get the videos from the video guy. Here's what I want you to do\u2026\u201d

\xa0

  1. Take the videos and write sales copy underneath every single one of the pages.
  2. Write all the sales copy.
  3. Write all the emails and all the email sequences.

\xa0

I film it on that camera and sent the instructions to them. \xa0Then I erase all that color and start over again for the designer.

\xa0

I say:

\xa0

\u201cNow you have the videos and the copy, what I need you to do next is make it look pretty."\xa0

\xa0

...and I walk through and draw it out.\xa0

\xa0

There's ALWAYS a framework that applies to the entire team.

\xa0

MY TWO CHECKLISTS

\xa0

There are 21 agency/people who do work for me now.\xa0

\xa0

I have:

\xa0

  • Two content teams
  • A funnel building team
  • Full-time support
  • Three phone closers, (I'm going to bring on a team of five more as well).

\xa0

There's a system that I came up with that helps me understand what each person needs, not just from me, but from the person directly in front of them in the line.

\xa0

Think about it this way\u2026

\xa0

I did a lot of backpacking growing up, and if there's a person directly in front of me, they set the pace\u2026

\xa0

However, the person directly behind them, every once in a while that second person has to walk a little bit faster to catch up.

\xa0

(Go read The Goal; it\u2019s a very good book.)

\xa0

So if there\u2019s a third person, every once in a while, that person has to break into a little bit of a jog to keep up with the first person.

\xa0

But when you get to number twelve in the line, that person needs to freakin\u2019 jog just to keep up at the normal walking pace set by the first person.

\xa0

*THAT\u2019S HUGE*

\xa0

On my team, I have the:

\xa0

  1. Video guy
  2. Copywriter
  3. Initial funnel builder
  4. Designer
  5. Funnel finisher

\xa0

...then it goes back to me to test and tweak.

\xa0

There\u2019s a lot of roles... and that\u2019s just the funnel, (it doesn\u2019t even include product creation).\xa0

\xa0

So if the lead person is moving at a normal pace, then a lot of times, the person at the back is sprinting to keep up because there's space in between each of these roles\u2026

\xa0

These are a series of dependent events...

\xa0

So when I'm creating a funnel, there are two checklists that I need to create, NOT just one.

\xa0

*This changed my life*

\xa0

For Example:

\xa0

If you look at the job of the initial funnel builder I need to ask:

\xa0

  1. What does this person need from me in order to do their job?
  2. What does this person need from the person directly in front of them in order to do their job?\xa0

\xa0

My role is just to create all the inputs needed and gather them ahead of time so that everyone can do their job without me needing to be pinged or interfered with\u2026

\xa0

Does that make sense?

\xa0

...it's two checklists.

\xa0

I have the checklist for each individual, but I also have the checklist for each person from the person directly in front of them.

\xa0

That increased my speed like crazy.\xa0

\xa0

HERE\u2019S HOW IT WORKS So for the OfferMind funnel, (it looks so sexy)\u2026

\xa0

  1. I filmed all the videos so that the copy guy can go in and write.
  2. It goes to the initial funnel guy who will build a rough draft of the entire thing. He's gonna loosely place all the videos and the copy... so that there's clay on the page for the designer.
  3. Then the designer gonna make it look pretty.
  4. Next person, the funnel finisher will write all the emails, add all the metadata, and put all the titles in... \xa0(tons and tons of stuff).

\xa0

If you do this, you will make you A LOT of money very quickly.\xa0

\xa0

It costs me about 15 to 20 grand to turn the crank once. Yep, it's a lot of money, but my team\u2019s really freakin\u2019 good.

\xa0

It costs about 15 - 20 grand... depending on how much video and copy there is. Those are the two expensive pieces\u2026. after that, it's design.

\xa0

(This is excluding the cost of product creation with the team.)

\xa0

Anyway, that's where we are with OfferMind...and that's why it's taken a little bit longer.\xa0

\xa0

MY DREAM 100 SPEAKER PLAN!

\xa0

At the beginning, I told you that part of the reason for this NEW funnel design was because Russell is keynoting\u2026.

\xa0

However, my plan is to attract some more BIG names.

\xa0

I'm going to try and get:\xa0

\xa0

  • Bill Glazer.
  • Mark Joyner.
  • Myron Golden
  • Some of my finance people, who are incredible.
  • Brad Gibbs
  • Ryan Lee

\xa0

Anyway, a lot of high-level people.

\xa0

I want to go to Bill Glazer and all these other influencers with a super awesome funnel...

\xa0

AND\u2026

\xa0

Check this out, my friends:

\xa0

Right now, I\u2019m recording the audiobook for the "30 Days" book. It's one of the bonuses I'm giving away for the OFA Challenge when people buy through my link. It's freakin\u2019 huge. Waaay too BIG\u2026.

\xa0

I did NOT realize how big it was when I said that... but anyway, I'm doing it, because I committed.\xa0

\xa0

BUT\u2026

\xa0

How cool would it be if I just went to each of the BIG names who wrote a chapter, and gave them the gift of their chapter already recorded for them?

\xa0

Do you think they're going to know my name after that? Oh yeah, baby!\xa0

\xa0

There are NOT that many people alive who are really into offer creation. Claude Hopkins was the last big guy, and he was alive in the 1800s\u2026

\xa0

Mark Joyner wrote the book "Irresistible Offer".... but offer creation is NOT exclusively his thing, you know what I mean?

\xa0

"The Man Who Sold America," is about Albert Lasker who was partners with Claude Hopkins, but that was in the 1800s...

\xa0

There's just not many people out there anymore who are really big in the offer creation space.

\xa0

And so I'm using the "30 Days" audiobook as a reason to reach out to BIG people, and tell them:

\xa0

  • Hey, I'd love to get you in OfferMind.
  • Oh, by the way, here's a sweet chapter.
  • Oh, by the way, let me just keep adding value to your community.
  • Oh, by the way, can I just get you on my podcast?
  • I'm going to make you like a rockstar.

\xa0

Watch what I'm doing in the next little bit...\xa0

\xa0

I HAVE A PLAN

\xa0

Watch the way I'm leveraging Sales Funnel Radio to create relationships with people that ultimately, (hopefully), lead them into speaking at OfferMind.

\xa0

Did you guys like the podcast episode I did about how I pitched Russell on speaking? A lot of work went into that, right?\xa0

\xa0

These are all direct response marketers, so it\u2019s likely that\u2019ll do the same thing for Bill Glazer and Mark Joyner. It's a lot of freaking work... but it should be worth it.\xa0

\xa0

There will be 1100 people at OfferMind; \xa0that\u2019s as many people as my first Funnel Hacking Live. When I think of that, I pinch myself.

\xa0

To sum up the OfferMind Funnel, we have the:

\xa0

  • Ticket with a free upgrade = A FREE DISCOVERY CALL
  • OTO #1 = VIP LISTING/ EARLY ACCESS/ DINNER WITH ME
  • OTO #2 = THE CAPITALIST PIG AD BOOK LISTING
  • The Bump = #TOP SECRET
  • Swag \xa0= IT\u2019S RIDICULOUS THIS YEAR
  • Goodie on the thank you page = CLICK AND SEE ;-)

\xa0

I\u2019m not even gonna tell you about the T-shirt this year... It's NOT the capitalist pig one. We created a new one. It's freaking cool.

\xa0

I'm the offer guy, so it's got to be sick. This is going to be a really freaking expensive event, but it's going to be really fun.\xa0
