How Coaches Can Use Funnels To Book More Discovery Calls

In this video, I go over how to setup a discovery call funnel and the benefits of having one in place.

Essentially, how it works is having a lead magnet and using the the thank you page as an invite to book a discovery call.

Too often, I will see people leave the thank you page as the default thank you page (for example-Thanks for signing up) and that is a missed opportunity.

Why? Because you have your prospect’s attention and the thank you page is a chance to tell them what to do next. In the case of a discovery call funnel, that would be inviting them to book a discovery call.

Now, you’re probably thinking- how do I weed out the tire-kickers and people who might not be a fit? That’s where a form comes in handy and you can ask a few questions to weed out the people who may not be a fit.

How Retargeting Ads Helped One Business Make $75K With $500 In Ads

Too often I hear from business owners that their ads are not working.

I follow up with, “What was the strategy you used??”

The response typically goes, “I tried boosting a few posts here and there, but nothing happened.” 🙁

The problem with just occasionally boosting posts is that there is no real plan or vision behind it. It may increase the visibility of your business through these posts but if you are simply hoping to throw an ad together and make sales without a plan…you’re wasting your time and money.

I put together a case study in which I share the exact strategy and ads behind 2 campaigns that generated over $75,000 with an ad spend of only $500 for my client, Burrell Education.

Common Traps Small Businesses Fall Into

  • Boosting posts without a plan
  • Trying to “sell” to “cold” audiences
  • Not enough lead time before an event, product/service launch or a webinar

What should you do instead?

Well, it depends entirely on your funnel and where your prospects are within it.

How To Use Show and Tell To Book Discovery Calls

Today I want to take you briefly down memory lane…all the way back to Kindergarten!

(Yes, I’m going waaay back but you’ll see why it all makes sense in just a bit!)

Show and Tell.

Remember when you were asked to bring in your favorite toy/book/ and show it to your classmates and talk about it? And everyone would ooh and ahh?

Well, that works in business as well.

Instead of just talking about what you do to potential clients- why not show?

That could look like:

  • Doing a video walkthrough of your membership site (people love behind the scenes)
  • Demoing a product you sell and how to use it
  • Showing how you do something (designing a logo, setting up an ad campaign, making a recipe, prep for a consult)….

And while you’re at it…tell them what’s next. What should they do?

  • Go here to learn more
  • Sign up for a call
  • Download …

Because I’m always testing what I share here, I recently did my own “Show and Tell” and booked 22 discovery calls in 2 weeks!!

And it didn’t require many moving parts. Here’s what I did:

  • Recorded a screen-share of how I run an ad campaign for my spa/chiropractor/gym clients that gets results
  • Uploaded video to Facebook and created ad (but you could always try just to your page first)
  • Call to action was to book a call and linked to my online scheduler such as Calendly, Acuity(affiliate link).

And the really great thing about this? People are coming on the calls ready to discuss next steps. They have seen what you do and already have questions about how it can work in their business.

There you go! Super simple, nothing fancy required!

What do you think? Is this something you will try?
