Before digging into creating automation flow, let’s understand some sales funnel basics and automation.

Let’s get started! 

What is Sales Funnel Automation

Sales funnel automation creates a full-proof flow to convert your audience into paying customers. 

In the automation flow, your business works on an automation pilot.

How Sales Funnel Automation Works?

Sales funnel automation is relatively straightforward.

1. You encourage your audience to share their email id in exchange for a free product/service (Lead Magnet).
2. Your audiences provide their email id to access the lead magnet (e.g., eBook or Mini-Course).
3. The lead magnet automatically delivers upon confirmation of email id.
4. After delivering the free lead magnet, the email sequence starts working.

An email sequence is a set of various emails that covers branding, consideration and conversion. 

Why Sales Funnel is Important

Good question! If you want to boost your sales, you should adopt digital marketing. And in digital marketing, the sales funnel puts your business in automation mode, which means more sales and conversion. 

Let’s take an example – You want to put your audiences into sales funnel;

You want to give a free eBook to your potential customers if they share their email You decided to give a free eBook to your potential customers in exchange for their email ids. So, You have to send the free eBook manually if you don’t have an automation system. And honestly, nobody wants to put this extra effort and time into boarding work.

So the solution is “Build Funnel Automation System” to save time and effort. With the help of automation, Your lead magnet (eBook) will be delivered automatically upon completion of registration form in landing page. It does not matter when the customer is filling out the form.

Before creating the funnel, Lets understand first the customer journey or funnel stages;

Many beginners do not have a good idea of funnel stages. Or sometimes they don’t even consider it. Understanding funnel stages or steps are essential. The funnel stages are designed to deliver the right message to the right time and right people.

There are 3 stages in the funnel system. Now let’s understand the funnel stages 

#1 Awareness

The awareness stage is the first stage in the funnel. At this stage, you try to attract new audiences to your brand.

You want to sell your high ticket course, So the first step should be to focus on branding. You can create social media campaigns, blog posts, YouTube videos, and Instagram reels to deliver your branding message and a bit of you and your course.

Remember! Don’t try to pitch your premium course at all to those audiences who are new for your business. 

The first priority must be brand awareness. 

Now in the awareness stage you should try to send your audience to a landing page, where you promise to deliver a free eBook or course (depending on your final products).

Please Note: Your lead magnet must be aligned with your final premium products. Otherwise your potential audience would never convert into customers.

#2 Consideration

All consumers consider multiple brands before purchasing. Now the thing is, you should focus on delivering the right marketing message to your audience so that they can also compare you with some other brands.

You can start running campaigns on social media related 

• Your course benefits
• Why you are best 
• Show some case study and existing customer reviews and feedback

If you put an audience into your email list, you can start sending such types of emails, so that your audience can consider you before buying.

#3 Conversion

Conversion is the final stage in funnel automation. Your audience converted into customers at this stage. According to my experience, I found this conversion stage is too challenging for many.

You can implement my conversion techniques;

• Offer a discount (e.g., 10% OFF)
• Create urgency (e.g., Discount will expire in next 24 hours)
• Create double urgency (e.g., Discount will expire and the original price will be increase soon in this week)

Now it’s time to put all this planning into an automation system.
