In this episode, I’ll walk you through step-by-step everything you need in an evergreen webinar sales funnel so you know exactly what to do and when.

All offers, even low priced tripwire offers, need a dedicated sales page to help convert your lead to a paying customer.

This is a one-page site that describes your course or program to your ideal customer. It has one goal; convert the visitor into a paying customer (if they are the right fit for your course or program).

If your sales page is poorly written or designed and does not speak to the pain points of your ideal customer; you will lose the customer that you paid good money and time to attract.

Listen in for the key elements to include on your sales page so you know exactly what is needed to help your ideal customer make an informed decision about purchasing your course or program.

Once your new lead signs up for your email list, the worst thing you can do is never follow up with them.

Listen in for the 12 must-have emails in an evergreen webinar funnel so you can convert your new lead to a paying customer, plus some other hot tips for evergreen webinar emails.

Your opt-in page for your lead magnet, also known as you landing page, is the first piece of content your new prospect will see before signing up (opting in) to your email list.

When your landing page is poorly written and does not “sell” your ideal customer on why they should sign up, you’ll lose this lead that you’ve paid good money or time to attract.

Listen in for hot tips on how to increase conversion for your lead magnet opt-in page so you can optimize your evergreen sales funnel.

Ever wonder what's the right lead magnet to attract your ideal customer in your evergreen sales funnel?

Sometimes this exercise gets a little tricky. One could argue that your lead magnet content should be the same subject as your paid offer; but how much information from your paid offer do you want to give away for free?

In addition, you may be asking, do you need a lead magnet PLUS a recorded webinar (or some other type of "higher end" lead magnet) before you pitch your signature offer.

In this episode, I'll break this down and walk you through how to how to choose the right lead magnet(s) for your evergreen sales funnel.

An evergreen sales funnel takes your new lead (your email subscriber) on the buyer's journey from being completely new to you to becoming your customer.

Your sales funnel will not work well if you’re simply offering random offer after random offer.
