Travis,
Your Free Guide is by far THE BEST, most helpful marketing piece I've seen.  And I've seen (and used) gobs of stuff from all of the Big Boys!  Thanks for creating a piece of marketing gold.

With your 3-D mail pieces I've experienced as much as a quadrupling in response rate over "flat" letters and postcards.  There's just nothing like dimensional mail...it's like being a kid again, ripping open your mail to see what the surprise is inside!  You've helped to make sending dimensional mail easy.  Thanks to you, my prospects now have three piles of mail: A-pile, B-pile, and "3-D pile.

What's in your funnel
By Travis Lee
Friday, August 14, 2009

Today we’re going to talk about what is included in your funnel and why it’s important to use a funnel, especially when using lead generation marketing.

So you’ve used lead generation marketing to get your ideal prospect to raise their hand, and identify themselves as someone who is interested in what you sell.  That’s a GREAT first step, but now what?!?

Your marketing funnel is a systematic approach to everything your prospects sees, hears and receives from you after they’ve raised their hand.  The keyword
is SYSTEMATIC.  It’s even better if its semi or fully automatic. 

Here’s a simply funnel that you could easily use when someone response to your lead generation ad:

Day 1:  Send your free guide you advertised
Day 2:  Send email confirmation that you mailed the Guide.
Day 5:  Phone call to see they received the guide
Day 7:  Follow up email to be sure they received the guide.
Day 10:  Sales letter to sell your product/service
Day 20:  Postcard to sell your product/Service

So you’re starting to get the idea.  There’s also things that should be continually doing each month, like newsletters, new offers/opportunities, promotions tied to holidays or current events.  The list could go on and on.

We’ll wrap up our talk about lead generation and your marketing funnel next week.  I’ll see you then.

RESOURCE FOR YOUR MARKETING FUNNEL

The best system I’ve ever seen for systematically and automatically implementing your marketing funnel is Infusionsoft.

Infusionsoft’s automatic follow-up software combines email marketing, CRM & eCommerce into one, simple system, so you can effortlessly stay in touch with prospects & customers and close more sales. With Infusionsoft, you’ll always be
growing your business...even when you’re out of the office, at the beach, or asleep!

I use it myself for a lot of the 3D Mail marketing you get from me, as well as my coaching/consulting business.  They even have glowing endorsements from Michael Gerber of the E-Myth and Dan Kennedy!

To see a demo video, and get a free trial visit this site.  They have great lead generation devices and a great marketing funnel.  So even if you’re set with your CRM, email etc. you should still take a look and get on their list.  If you study it closely you’ll get a PhD level education in the topics we’ve
just been discussing.
