SFR 296: The First Day Of Onboarding
Here's the plan people receive after they join OfferLab\u2026
\xa0
See how you can use what I'm doing in your own business!
I have an Offer Building Service - where we just happen to build your funnel too...\xa0
\xa0
But a funnel just doesn\u2019t work on its own.\xa0
\xa0
So that\u2019s why we created OfferLab.
\xa0
And I thought it'd be really fun to share some of the welcome video that I send to people when they join the program\u2026
\xa0
You\u2019ll see first hand the lengths you need to go to if you want to have a successful funnel\u2026
\xa0
And why being a funnel geek is optional!
\xa0
I\u2019m literally sharing a birdseye view of my personal funnel building process... and how I cloned it to create success for other people.
\xa0
WELCOME TO OFFERLAB!
\xa0
Hey, guys.\xa0
\xa0
First of all, I just wanted to congratulate and welcome you into this group.
\xa0
\xa0HERE\u2019S THE SECRET...
\xa0
When you pair OfferLab with everything else that ClickFunnels teaches, therein, in my opinion, (my very strong and validated opinion), lies the secret to making this game work.
\xa0
OfferLab was created specifically because I can't go to everyone's office.
\xa0
\xa0I get this request a ton\u2026
\xa0
\xa0"How much would it cost to fly, you in, Steve?"\xa0
\xa0
I'm like, "Oh man, I don't know. I can't do that."\xa0
\xa0
And plus, usually when I've made exceptions in the past and have gone and actually done a day consulting for somebody, what usually happens is\u2026
\xa0
\xa0They don't end up being able to pull off what I taught them anyway.\xa0
\xa0
ARE YOU A FUNNEL NERD?
\xa0
And it goes back to what a lot of what OfferMind was about\u2026
\xa0
\xa0For you to have success in this game, historically meant and required that you also were a funnel nerd.
\xa0
Now, while you do need to understand certain parts of the funnel, you don't need to be a funnel nerd.\xa0
\xa0
A lot of people aren't.\xa0
\xa0
A lot of the BIG people that you see making the Two Comma Club \u2026
\xa0
\xa0A lot of them didn't build their own funnel.\xa0
\xa0
Start looking into the stories of the people who are making A LOT of money\u2026
\xa0
\xa0A lot of them are NOT doing every single thing that\u2019s being taught inside the space right now\u2026
\xa0
Instead, they understand what marketing is.\xa0
\xa0
When I started looking at this whole pattern, I was like, "Holy crap. This is really interesting.\xa0
\xa0
There's a lot of people in here who are NOT funnel geeks."
\xa0
Anyway, you guys all know the story - so I'm not gonna keep telling it, but I just wanna welcome you to OfferLab and give you a brief walk-through of\u2026
\xa0
- \xa0What's gonna happen next
\xa0
- What you can expect from us
\xa0
- What's expected of you
\xa0
- What we're gonna go through and do with you guys here.\xa0
\xa0
HOW TO GROW A BUSINESS
\xa0
OfferLab is a program that\u2019s NOT meant to be taken at a sprint.
\xa0
I'm not telling you to slow down, I want you to go fast as you possibly can.\xa0
\xa0
However, there's been times in the past where people have been like..
\xa0
\xa0"Well Steve, it's been two days here and I don't have a million dollars yet?"\xa0
\xa0
And I'm like, "This is a process.. .it takes time." \xa0\U0001f602
\xa0
So, I actually have the OfferLab Packet with me here - \xa0which by the way, these are sick, huh?\xa0
\xa0
So as we go through the packet here, I just wanted to walk through, piece by piece, what you all get as part of the program.
\xa0
Sprint, but it takes time - and that's okay.\xa0
\xa0
I'll be very shocked if you guys don't at least make six figures in this program - \xa0VERY shocked!!!
\xa0
We've stacked so many cards in your favor, it's ridiculous.\xa0
\xa0
I've NEVER seen a program like this!\xa0
\xa0
So anyway...\xa0
\xa0
YOUR OFFERLAB SNEAK PEEK
\xa0
So what I wanna do real fast is to just walk through the pamphlet so you know where everything is...\xa0
\xa0
It's frustrating for me when I buy something, ('cause I buy a lot of stuff... it's one of the reasons I know how to sell.).\xa0
\xa0
And it's like, "Well, where do I get that thing you were talking about?"\xa0
\xa0
I hate that.\xa0
\xa0
So instead, what I'm going to do real quick is just walk through EVERYTHING - so that you know, not only where to get it... but when it comes in play.
\xa0
OFFERLAB PHASE #1: THE COURSE
\xa0
So the first thing is the entire OfferLab course.\xa0
\xa0
Now, this is very key, okay?\xa0
\xa0
This is a living, breathing course.\xa0
\xa0
What we need you to go through and do right now is start preparing for the OfferLab event that's coming up in six weeks.
\xa0
It's here in Boise, and it's just with you guys - it's not for anybody else, it's not gonna be 600 people like OfferMind was... that's not it at all.
\xa0
If you can't make the first date that's okay, there's another one.
\xa0
The OfferLab program comes with one OfferLab event.
\xa0
So you can choose one of the dates.\xa0
\xa0
If this one doesn't work for you then go to the next one. And if that doesn't work for you, then you can also go to the next one after that.\xa0
\xa0
It's an event that we do twice a year.
\xa0
This first part right here is to help you develop the inputs that my funnel team needs from you.\xa0
\xa0
This has been a massive mind jigsaw puzzle as I sat back and asked\u2026
\xa0
- \xa0What do they need first?\xa0
\xa0
- What do they need next?\xa0
\xa0
- They need this, but how do we get them to create that for the funnel team?\xa0
\xa0
You know what I'm saying?\xa0
\xa0
The point and purpose are \u2026
\xa0
- You get inside the group
\xa0
- You get the inputs that we will be using for my core offer team, i.e., the actual funnel builders that are gonna build your funnel for you.
\xa0
So as far as the timeline goes, this is kind of the way the program works...\xa0
\xa0
As far as the timeline goes for the whole program, the focus for the first little bit on the actual content.\xa0
\xa0
Each week, we go live each Tuesday and Thursday.
\xa0
Tuesday, Austin's gonna do open office hours, which means\u2026
\xa0
- \xa0If you have a question about that week's topic
\xa0
- If you have a question about anything
\xa0
... go in and ask questions to him.\xa0
\xa0
They're open office hours and the schedule's now posted inside the Facebook group picture.
\xa0
On Thursday, he's gonna be doing what we're calling Input Audibles.\xa0
\xa0
Meaning, since a marketer is ONLY responsible for the...
\xa0
- Message
\xa0
- Offer
\xa0
- Campaigns
\xa0
\u2026 those the macro-level inputs we need.\xa0
\xa0
So, there are a few things inside of the offer and message that we need to get down\u2026 and that's what the program is gonna walk you through.
\xa0
So on ThursdaysAustin is gonna be doing audibles on the funnel inputs\u2026
\xa0
\xa0'Cause you're not building the funnel, which is awesome.\xa0
\xa0
Q: How freaking cool is this program?\xa0
\xa0
A: Really, this is pretty awesome \U0001f602
\xa0
I'm so excited about it.\xa0
\xa0
HELP ME, RHONDA!
\xa0
Wednesday - It's open office hours with Rhonda but she goes in with slightly more themed things that have to do with that week's topic.
\xa0
We go through these first six weeks together with you.\xa0
\xa0
And my role?
\xa0
\xa0At the beginning of each month, I do a deep dive.\xa0
\xa0
I hope you guys do this in your programs\u2026
\xa0
\xa0Stand back and look to see how people are reacting to what it is that you've created, so that you can plug the holes.\xa0
\xa0
And so, that's what you're doing. And that's what I'm doing.
\xa0
\xa0I sit back and I'm like\u2026
\xa0
\xa0\u201cOkay, if I'm a marketer and a result I'm trying to create is Two Comma Club or Titans of Industry Funnels\u2026\u201d
\xa0
- Where is it NOT being understood?\xa0
\xa0
- What's the piece that's falling out?\xa0
\xa0
- How can I get more clarity on X, Y, and Z?
\xa0
\xa0And my role is to\u2026
\xa0
- \xa0Go very macro-level
\xa0
- See the different pieces
\xa0
- Create systems.
\xa0
I'll also be going live as well, I'll be very interactive with the group.\xa0
\xa0
OFFERLAB PHASE #2: THE EVENT
\xa0
So let\u2019s talk about The OfferLab Event\u2026
\xa0
DAY #1: \xa0Review Day - is gonna be a bit of a review of EVERYTHING we\u2019ve covered so you can see them all in-flow.
\xa0
You spend six weeks going through all those pieces\u2026
\xa0
But it's over six weeks.\xa0
\xa0
So, we're gonna spend one day just reviewing real quick
\xa0
\xa0DAY #2:Campaign and Guest Speaker Day.\xa0
\xa0
So in this next one, we have Dana Derricks coming to speak\u2026
\xa0
Then we have\u2026
\xa0
\xa0
- I believe... Brad Gibb
\xa0
- \xa0And possibly... Alex Charfen
\xa0
They're gonna be guiding a two-hour workshop walking you through a whole bunch of really just awesome stuff that\u2019s needed to kinda sustain what we're having you create in the program.\xa0
\xa0
DAY #3: Asset Day - is my personal favorite day.
\xa0
We used to drive everybody around, but logistically it's kind of a nightmare - so we're having everybody come to one place to \u2026
\xa0
- Taking cool headshots for you like you see on my Facebook profile.
\xa0
- Make cool videos of you
\xa0
- Create cool logos for you... (that might be a little bit later on during the funnel build process - but we\u2019re gonna help you create cool logos, both for your name and the program that you're selling)
\xa0
... it's *FREAKIN\u2019 COOL*\xa0
\xa0
Asset day is ridiculously insane.\xa0
\xa0
\u2018THE WHO THAT KNOWS THE HOW\u2019
\xa0
I remember when I first started this, Russell would be like..
\xa0
\xa0"Well, just go use the who that knows the how."\xa0
\xa0
And I'm like\u2026
\xa0
\xa0"Dude, I would but I've gone through five who's and I've wasted tons of money.\xa0
\xa0
Just tell me the who and I would use them, man. I'm sold on the concept, but \u2018who's the who?\u2019"\xa0
\xa0
And that was the thing that was really frustrating for me - so, I get it.\xa0
\xa0
I heard Russell say once, "The only reason I am where I am is because I spent the last 10 years putting the Rolodex together that I have."\xa0
\xa0
I was like, "OH, CRAP!!!"\xa0
\xa0
So you guys are gonna get the fruits of that by coming to asset day\xa0 - which is really cool.\xa0
\xa0
*ASSET DAY* \u2026 is VERY exciting.
\xa0
READY TO ROCK OFFERLAB!
\xa0
Now some of you guys are gonna be ready before the OfferLab Event, and that's okay.
\xa0
The whole purpose and point of these first six modules are to create those funnel inputs.\xa0
\xa0
If you're ready to rock, you don\u2019t have to wait!
\xa0
Once you have those first inputs created, we have a form that you fill out.\xa0
\xa0
It's a test form, it doesn't actually go to the funnel building team\u2026
\xa0
\xa0We don't want you to use your funnel chip as fast as possible.\xa0
\xa0
First of all, we want you to run through with Austin - he's gonna look at ALL your funnel inputs\u2026
\xa0
\u2026 it\u2019s kinda like a test run, you understand?\xa0
\xa0
I'm gonna look at your stuff too - I\u2019ll spot check and be like...
\xa0
- \xa0I love the message
\xa0
- I love the positioning
\xa0
- I love the offer
\xa0
- \xa0I love the way the angle
\xa0
\u201c\u2026 okay, cool, this is ready to push into the funnel team."
\xa0
Does that make sense?
\xa0
\xa0I don't want you to go use your chip immediately.
\xa0
\xa0Because\u2026
\xa0
\xa0Garbage in, garbage out\u2026
\xa0
\xa0(...not that you're garbage, but you know what I mean \U0001f602).
\xa0
\xa0And so, as soon as you\u2026
\xa0
- \xa0Have those inputs ready
\xa0
- Have the workbook we handed you done
\xa0
... you're gonna start using those inputs.\xa0
\xa0
You\u2019ll send a form to Austin, (it'll be in the member\u2019s area), and he\u2019s gonna look through all your funnel inputs - it\u2019s kinda a dummy run before handing off to the funnel team.
\xa0
Once you go, take some time to understand what causes the funnel to have success...\xa0
\xa0
'Cause it's very little to do with the funnel.\xa0
\xa0
Anyway, so then what we're gonna go do is after OfferLab, whether you're ready before or after, we're gonna start having you guys go and put in your stuff to the funnel team.
\xa0
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD A FUNNEL, STEVE?
\xa0
\xa0Plan on the funnel team being about two to three weeks to build your funnel - that's about how long I personally wait, 'cause I don't build my own funnels either.
\xa0
You understand, the process I'm putting you guys through is the very process I follow.
\xa0
It\u2019s my process, that's how I know how to do it - we literally cloned it.
\xa0
... and we're giving it to you guys.
\xa0
There are gonna be A LOT of things I have you prepare (that you may not be thinking about) that will massively impact the level of success you have post-funnel build.\xa0
\xa0
So, plan on it being about two to three weeks for the funnel team to actually build the funnel.\xa0
\xa0
During that time, it's NOT time to go sit on the beach yet.\xa0
\xa0
While my funnel team builds the funnel we start building the actual launch campaigns.
\xa0
That's when your role shifts from funnel inputs to launch campaigns.
\xa0
*That's* the other reason why we focus so much on launch campaigns in OfferLab.
\xa0
\xa0I'm just kinda giving you an overview of the timeline of the program itself.
\xa0
So it usually takes two to three weeks for me to have a funnel back from my funnel team.\xa0
\xa0
That's just how it happens, but it's gold.\xa0
\xa0
I have to didn't touch anything and it lets me focus on what will actually cause cash - which is campaigns!
\xa0
OFFERLAB PHASE #3: PICK YOUR LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
\xa0
So, while my team builds the funnel, I put together launch campaigns.
\xa0
I like to put A LOT of pressure behind my campaigns, and even if the funnel's ready, it's not ready until I\u2019ve built the PRESSURE...\xa0
\xa0
When I have a lot of pressure, (and I mean tons of pressure) like\u2026
\xa0
I've got so much pressure built up and I'm like, "Here it comes, here it comes... "\xa0
\xa0
And sometimes, I'll be honest with you, the funnel has been ready but the campaign hasn't built enough pressure yet - so I push off the funnel launch to keep building pressure.\xa0
\xa0
I'm gonna throw a lot of campaign ideas at you guys, so I recommend that you choose ONE and then build up the PRESSURE!!!
\xa0
You want them hot and bothered.
\xa0
If you don't have that hot and bothered feeling from the people that you hope will buy, Don't Launch Yet!!!\xa0
\xa0
Run your next campaign - they're like football plays.
\xa0
\xa0And then you're like, "Oh no, maybe not yet."\xa0
\xa0
Then run that campaign, build up the pressure and then BOOM!
\xa0
Guys, I'll tell you that, again, I said this at OfferMind\u2026
\xa0
When I launched my funnel with the campaigns that way, all the money comes off that table\u2026
\xa0
\xa0And that's the money that I use to go pay off my funnel team.\xa0
\xa0
By the time you actually get the launch out and rocking, that's the money I pay off the funnel teams with... (this is how I personally do it, do whatever you want to, but that's how I do it).\xa0
\xa0
And then, whatever money is left over, I dump that into my evergreen campaigns and I start running evergreen campaign styles and strategies.
\xa0
And that's kind of what forces it successful and keeps it out there.
\xa0
Now, if I start to notice that the funnel starts to drop a little bit like the ofasignup.com has\u2026
\xa0
\xa0BUILDING A PRESSURE LAUNCH
\xa0
Ofasignup.com has done really well - it's probably pulled 150 grand in affiliate commissions, but it's kind of petered out.
\xa0
Q: So what should I do?\xa0
\xa0
A:\xa0
\xa0
- I'm gonna take it off the table
\xa0
- I'm gonna go re-work it
\xa0
- I'm gonna build tons of launch campaigns around it
\xa0
- \xa0I'm gonna re-launch the whole funnel on the back of tons of pressure and noise into the marketplace
\xa0
I'll do the same kind of thing over and over again.\xa0
\xa0
So again\u2026
\xa0
\xa0The purpose of the program is to go literally from idea and inception to launch and evergreen.
\xa0
\xa0Now, there's a lot of people that are waaay better than I am at certain parts of launch and evergreen campaigns, which is why I brought them in the program.
\xa0
So, once you actually have the funnel being done, I want you to choose ONE campaign-style inside the member\u2019s area.\xa0
\xa0
And we'll go through this in more detail, I know I'm saying a lot of stuff right here...\xa0
\xa0
Choose one campaign style and just follow that process.\xa0
\xa0
And when you've used that person's process to the \u2018T\u2019 ...then you go to the next one, and the next one.\xa0
\xa0
I told the people that I brought in, "I don't want you to just send me more videos.\xa0
\xa0
People don't need more info.\u201d
\xa0
I mean, they need the info that they need to take a step, but there's too much info.\xa0
\xa0
So, I asked \u2026
\xa0
- The Campaign Team
\xa0
- The Scale Team\xa0
\xa0
...to give OfferLab something that was actionable.\xa0
\xa0
A mechanism that would hold your feet to the fire.\xa0
\xa0
You guys will do\u2026
\xa0
- \xa0A Launch Campaign\xa0
\xa0
- An Evergreen Campaign
\xa0
...and then a high focus of the program at that point is publishing.
\xa0
I'm gonna teach you guys how to publish the right way -\xa0 where it's kind of low impact.\xa0
\xa0
The goal and vision is that we build the middle of your value ladder.
For me...
\xa0
- The middle of the value ladder is what actually pays for my business systems.\xa0
\xa0
- The front of the value ladder is just to create leads and noise.\xa0
\xa0
Whenever I start getting a drop in leads, I want another front-end funnel.\xa0
\xa0
When I need to build and pay for another set of business structures, I create a middle of the value ladder funnel.\xa0
\xa0
That pays for a lot of my business structures.\xa0
\xa0
When I'm like, "You know what? I'm ready to get paid."\xa0
\xa0
OfferLab is a little bit more of an expensive program, but it's actually a middle of the value ladder program.\xa0
\xa0
And it's what's helping me build out a lot of these business structures.
\xa0
\xa0I don't necessarily personally get paid a lot from it\xa0 - the numbers might shock you \U0001f602\xa0
\xa0
There's a lot of cost to running a program like this.
\xa0
I'm gonna show you guys a lot of behind the scenes in my own business, I hope no one takes offense to that, sometimes people do, which kind of confuses me.\xa0
\xa0
Anyway, the whole purpose is to build out the middle of the value ladder...\xa0
\xa0
So once you have the funnel launched and you're getting consistent sales through evergreen ads.\xa0
\xa0
And you're like, "You know what, I'm gonna do another launch campaign."\xa0
\xa0
Anyway, the whole point is to keep turning on more evergreen strategies plus build business systems, (that's why Alex Charfen is coming on in)\u2026
\xa0
So this is like a conglomerate of A LOT of awesome experts!
\xa0
Alright!
\xa0
\xa0I've been asked, "Steve, you were the lead funnel builder at ClickFunnels, why aren't you offering a funnel building service for people in businesses?"
\xa0
\xa0Okay, that's a fair question.\xa0
\xa0
Check this out\u2026
\xa0
\xa0Back in early 2016 when I joined ClickFunnels as an employee, there were only about 12,000 users of ClickFunnels compared to the 100,000 now.\xa0
\xa0
And there were only like 40 employees compared to the 400 that there are now.\xa0
\xa0
Okay? What does that mean?
\xa0
\xa0It meant Russell and I were literally the only funnel builders \xa0*period*.\xa0
\xa0
- All the sales copy
\xa0
- The design
\xa0
- The video
\xa0
- Building the pages
\xa0
- Email sequences
\xa0
- Integrating software with ClickFunnels\xa0
\xa0
...it was literally just he and I.\xa0
\xa0
About a year into my employment at ClickFunnels though, other funnel building team members started getting hired, we finally had a copywriter, a designer, etcetera.
\xa0
It changed my whole world as we now had a funnel team.\xa0
\xa0
So before I offered funnel building services, I wanted to make sure I could not only find my team but that it was also air-tight.\xa0
\xa0
What I did not tell you, and what I've NOT been public about was that my team has already been building funnels for other people for over a year now...
\xa0
- Testing
\xa0
- Tweaking
\xa0
- Building
\xa0
- Making our process better
\xa0
... and so finally, I will tell you that we are ready.\xa0
\xa0
We've been building other sales funnels for a while, I just have not announced it until now.\xa0
