Crafting the Funnel with Heart and Precision
Dr. Margaret, despite being in her late 70s and new to the labyrinthine world of online marketing, showcased an aptitude for learning that was nothing short of inspiring. She quickly mastered the technology, recording 8-minute videos for her funnel that resonated deeply with her audience, boasting an 85% view rate.
The design of the funnel was as sophisticated as it was compassionate:
Order Bump ("Healing Yourself, Healing Your Relationships" Audio Series for $27): After customers decided to get her book, they were given the option, right before finalizing their purchase, to add an exclusive audio series to their order at a special price—a clever strategy known as an 'Order Bump'.
One-Time Offer 1 (OTO 1: Healing Your Aloneness Workshop for $47): After purchasing the book, customers were then presented with a one-time, limited opportunity to enroll in Dr. Margaret's transformative workshop at a significantly reduced rate—this is commonly referred to as a 'One-Time Offer' or 'OTO'.
One-Time Offer 2
(OTO 2: Loving Relationships for $197, Regular Price: $297): For those who took advantage of the first OTO, there was a second, further enriching offer: her Loving Relationships course at a special discounted price—a second 'One-Time Offer', or 'OTO 2'.
Cart Abandonment Sequence: If visitors to her site initiated the checkout process but didn’t complete their purchase, they were re-engaged through a sequence of thoughtful and persuasive emails. This process, designed to recover potentially lost sales, is known as a 'Cart Abandonment Sequence'.

"From the moment I met Joel, I felt a strong, positive connection. His energy is fantastic, and beyond that, he is a person of true integrity. Kind, honest, and genuine, Joel has a unique ability to be present and available when I need him, making our interactions consistently pleasurable and productive.
Choosing to work with Joel and his team has proven to be immensely beneficial for my business; not only have they set up an income stream that I didn't have before, but they have also skillfully advertised my books, extending their reach beyond what I could have imagined.
My experience with Joel and his team has been unparalleled – it's been the best professional engagement I've had, far and away. Because of the trust and respect I have for Joel, I've recommended his services to others and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future. In fact, I find joy in supporting him; he’s an extraordinary individual, and I am more than happy to back him in any way I can."
