Build and engineer “Set it and forget it” Marketing Conversion Funnel
Me too.
1000 people in the top of our funnel 2% to trials, and of those we can convert 2% to customers. Now get 1,000,000,000 into the funnel.   When that is done get 1,000,000,000 more.
Predictable Trial / Pre-sales Process New trial sign-up E-mail 1 - Thank you e-mail Sales call “check-in” E-mail 2 - “Tips and tricks” E-mail 3 - “Just checking in” E-mail 4 - “Ticking-timer” Expired - Sales call
Restricted wedge offerings are typically controlled environments.
Limited Features Trial-size User restricted Integration limited Time bombed
Future Replace yell and tell, with a focus on building remarkable products.   Put these products (unrestricted) in potential customers and customers hands, and sincerely engage, watch…listen. Capture the and share the stories and join the conversations. Help to create authentic experiences.
Stop yelling It’s not that they aren’t listening they just can’t hear you Save your energy and focus on building remarkable products
Products / services that inspire great stories and encourage real conversations reduce the need for complex high touch marketing systems. Share this with POTENTIAL customers by giving them bi-lateral views into these conversations
