In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Co-Founder of Creative Director of Digital Trailblazer, Leah Getts.

Leah Rae Getts co-founded Digital Trailblazer, a company dedicated to helping impact-driven entrepreneurs scale their businesses, such as consultants, course creators, and coaches. Their mission is to help these entrepreneurs connect with the right people and implement effective automation and systems to positively impact a larger scale.

Leah shared her insights on the concept of sales and marketing funnels. She noted that the traditional one-directional funnel, where prospects are pushed toward a sale, is less effective now. Instead, she suggests considering the funnel an entire ecosystem, where prospects are nurtured and engaged across multiple platforms and touchpoints.

This approach involves driving traffic, generating leads, and guiding prospects through various funnels simultaneously, such as email sequences, text message sequences, and Facebook groups. By creating a holistic ecosystem, prospects are exposed to the brand in multiple ways, which nurtures them and builds trust.

Regarding content creation, Leah suggests starting with one thing and gradually adding more as you get comfortable. She emphasizes the importance of having ads running and a Facebook group set up, which can be managed by virtual assistants (VAs). The VAs can handle tasks like booking sales calls and welcoming people to the group, allowing you to focus on engaging with your audience.

Leah suggests that short-form vertical videos can be done in just a couple of hours a week, and the key is to batch and schedule content. By leveraging automation and delegating mundane tasks to the team, you can spend around 25 hours a week on content creation and engagement while the rest is handled.
