“This will be the moment that will change your life forever”
Personal story of Dave Woodward. One of the top speakers and employees of click funnels was not able to make it to the event. Had a medical issue and is in need of major prayers for a strong recovery.
Entrepreneurs are the prime movers in society today.
The 4 levels of Value
- implementation – manual labor
- unification – management skils
- communication – mouth
- imagination – mind & money
Implementation – the physical work that needs to be done gets paid the lowest
Unification – the middle management comfort zone. Paid more but still stuck in the rat race
Communication – using your mouth. Selling through your voice. Can make more money but is still stuck working for someone else.
Imagination – using your mind to solve a problem and then communicating the solution.
“Entrepreneur – someone who took personal responsibility for a problem that wasn’t their own…”
Napoleon Hill _ Definiteness of purpose – There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

Secrete #1 Marketing Math
- CPA- Cost Per Acquiaiton

Average Cart Value – How Much does that customer spend in the funnel.
CPA < ACV = Scale
CPA = ACV = Stop

Don’t have too many upsells. Your customers will hate it. You may make more money up front but will loose more money over time.
The First Class Offer Upgrade – There is a group of people will always buy the premium item.

The three simple strategies to expand and explode your business
Create multiple streams of income through different types of funnels
Your current business is dead
You are now in the servicing your customer business.
There questions you need to ask yourself.
- Who is it that you serve?
- What’s the goal they are trying to reach?
- What do they want?
Prospect Over Product
The Three Strategies
- Listen – Hear what pains them
- Ask – Questions to see what they need to solve the pain
- Execute – Give them what they want
Built first product by surveying the target demographic – Took the biggest problems and put the solutions within the products.
Using your customers own words will help you create killer copy.
Once you deliver, keep asking them what they want.
Listen
- Listen in your fb group
- lisent in your other groups
- listen in your customer service emails
Put yourself in your customers shoes.
You don’t have to come up with something new… What are my customers buying from other companies already?
What are their problems that you can solve with products?
ASK
The million dollar question – Do they want it?
- survey them
- ask them what they want
- ask them how they want it
- let them vote on options
Questions for your Facebook groups
What are the biggest struggles your are having right now trying to reach your goal of ______?
What are the things that we aren’t currently offering that you would like to see from us?
Execute
- compile the receptive problems into categories
- start with the most mentioned problems
- ask yourself “what would solve this problem for them?”
- Pick one thing. Figure it out. And give it to them.
Write Down:
What three things could you offer your customers that are outside your current product or service offering?

Funnel Hacking Live Day 2
Day two is all about alignment. Taking the major shift points from yesterday positioning you to get aligned with your definiteness of purpose.
Trent Shelton – NFL Player, Motivational Speaker
The application creates transformation –
Your transparency will lead to your transformation.
Am I going to give myself permission to be who I truly am?
Be committed… What is going to happen when the mood leaves?
Commitment – Stay loyal to what you say you are going to do long after the mood you set has left.
Show UP! No matter the circumstances and fears. Just show up.
Once you achieve your why you will have tow things – Peace and Fulfillment.
Build Your Following
#1 To get the followers. You need to do the dark work.
Dark work is the work that no one sees. The sweat equity.
That is the work that you do on yourself.
Confidence- Giving yourself permission not fail
Build your magnet. Your magnet is something that draws people to you. What is the thing that separates you from everyone else?
Own Who You Are
Ask: What is it about me that attracts you to me?
When it comes to starting things. Too many times we start watch it for 90 days. Don’t like the result and switch it. That is not how to grow consistently.
Just be patient and trust the process
A made up mind is the most powerful thing in the whole world.
#2 Create Connections
Connect and listen. Listen not to reply but to understand what your person really needs.
What is it in my life that needs to die that keeps me from living?
That is the question to ask to figure out what is keeping you from making the connections to better your life.
Rx for connections:
- Emotions – touch an emotion change a life
- Education – Educate someone they will go from follower to family
- Entertainment – If you can entertain someone, you can keep their attention
#3 Create Community
Build a community by being with your people side by side.
#4 Create Consistency
Consistency – 1 conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness: the grading system is to be streamlined to ensure greater consistency. • the achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time: his principal problem in tennis has been consistency.
Doing the things that you said you were going to do long after the feeling left from the time that you said you were going to do something.

Mike Schmidt & AJ Rivera – Agency Coach
Problem _ Most businesses don’t have a shadow sales funnel
The funnel – Lead capture, sales process, order, upsell & ascend – $$$
Active shadow traffic- People who are actively looking at the credibility of your offer or business
Shadow sales funnel – brand search, credibility movement offers and publishing, drive back to sales funnel, $$$
Branded Searches X Customers = Revenue Potential
149,520 X 1% = 1495 X $997 = 1.49million
149,520 X0.5% = 798 X 997 =800k

Matt Howard & Jason Howard
“How We ‘Reverse Engineered’ the Traditional Ecommerce Funnel…and pick the WINNING Products Every Time!”
DTC has a problem according to Gary V.
98% of DTC brands are out of business they just don’t know it yet.
“It’s never been cheaper to start a business although I think it’s never been harder t oscale a business.” – Neil Blumental, CEO Warby Parker
The SMAQ – Single most asked question…
“What products should I sell and how do I find products to sell?”
A lot of people get this wrong by following what others are doing.
Analogy: Jason races cars. He is really good. You want to be really good so you follow Jason. But Jason could be heading straight for a wall and you would have no clue because you are just following him.
How we use Sandbox Funnels to find proven Two comma Club products over and over again.
Rule #2 Sequence Matters – don’t do things out of order
If you have a business card but no revenue you are out of order.
Rule #1 Products don’t matter
What Matters?
A3 Framework
- Audience
- Algorithms – marketing is controlled by algorithms, trying to game the system won’t help you
- Analytics – they like numbers
Example: You start with a product and build offers around it. You add bonuses to it and may discount the end price. Then you promote it.
Product –> Offer –> Transaction –> Buyer or Lead
The problems with starting with a product.
- Slow
- Expensive
- Unproven
- Unreliable
- Lottery Mentality
- Easily Discovered by Competitors
- Not Algorithm Friendly
- Fatigues or Goes Stale Easily (think fidget spinners or yo-yo craze of the early 2000s)
- Higher Risk
You pray you get it right.
Reality: Top 2% are repeatedly in the top 2% and the 98% are the 98%.
Example: Matt had a spine issue causing his lifestyle to suffer. He got a Rx – an expensive surgery to correct the issue. He bought it. He didn’t care what the treatment, pill, or therapy was. He just wanted his lifestyle. He would have bought anything.
Event –> Consultation –> Diagnosis –> Rx
The Sandbox Funnel
The Sandbox funnel is located in the members area of your click funnels account. Don’t have a click funnels account – Get your 14 day free trial here.
Matt and Jason still use a traditional funnel to sell. Why?
- Provides a clear A – B path
- Its conversion oriented
- High effort – it takes time to get right
Sandbox Funnel
- Allows for machine learning to take place
- More discoverable
- Low Effort – designed to be fast
- Discover outliers and opportunities better
Flipping it around for an online store. You start with the audience. Then the conversation to match a naked offer that leads to fulfillment.
Audience –> Sandbox –> Naked Offer –> Fulfillment
Live example: Golfers Stand up.
What are some of your challenges?
- Distance
- Slicing
- Consistency
Who wants to be more consistent? (Most stay up)
How many of you want to work on your short irons? (Some sit down)
Who wants to increase the length of your drive? (Some stand back up)
If Matt can show you how to add 30 yards within 2 rounds straight up the fairway consistently would you be interested? – YES!
Would you pay $47? -YES!
Would you pay $97 -YES!
Would you pay $10,000- (One crazy guy still standing)
How many would pay $197 – A few said yes.
Matt offers to eliminate the 3 putt to the $197 offer – More said yes.
The point is now you have an audience and a price point at which they will buy something. Doesn’t matter what it is.
People don’t buy products. They buy outcomes.
In world of algorithms and social media, Facebook loves engagement. It’s cheap, ease and fast and at this point there is no investment of time to source a product.
You have a set group of people ready to buy an outcome and all you have to do is decide how to fulfill it.
