- Mike Klingler’s Sale Funnel Mastery Course
My husband Larry and I just returned from Mike Klingler’s Marketing Funnel Mastery course in Portland Oregon. Wow! What a paradigm shift in my online marketing. I had a vague idea of what a marketing funnel was prior to this course however now I have a crystal clear picture. What Mike is teaching is the missing link for the majority of online marketers.
In fact there is excellent training from optimizing your social media marketing, blogging, PPC Marketing, the missing link has been how to create your marketing funnel. What is a funnel? Your marketing funnel is the structure, flow chart if you well of all your online marketing. Mike made a statement from the stage, ‘If you are not creating your own marketing funnel, you are guaranteed falling into someone’s else’s marketing funnel.’
I love Mike’s honesty and his sincere desire to serve entrepreneurs. His passion is to see all of us realizing our full potential online. Your marketing funnel is the structure of your business and it brings tremendous clarity to your marketing. You have heard this before, most people don’t plan to fail they simply fail to plan.
You can be learning and applying all your new skills sets, from shooting video, creating your blog, posting, networking on social media but where are you headed with all this marketing activity? What is your direction?
Unfortunately many are wasting precious time not having a clear direction and desired outcome in their online marketing. Creating your funnel, flow chart, plan whatever you want to call it, forces you to get clear on your niche. Who you are marketing to and what are going to be your relevant offerings to your target audience?
Mapping out your marketing funnel, allows you to fully explore your strengths, what are your ultimate goals in your marketing and what do you want to offer your target audience? Your marketing funnel starts with your generating traffic, offering a free offer that is so appealing that when people visit your blog or landing page they want to subscribe. It allows you to create a relationship with your list and to start monetizing your online marketing from the very start.
Establishing your marketing funnel also builds your authority as a thought leader and trusted advisor in your area of expertise with your audience. Something I had not fully embraced was the power of offering relevant paid content right after a person enrolls on my mailing list and giving my readers an opportunity of even an up sell to a more comprehensive package.
If you are in a network marketing opportunity Mike also outlines the most optimal time to introduce your network marketing opportunity within your marketing funnel.
Mike, is adamant as am I that you personally brand yourself in your online marketing. This means you should always be building your own personal authority in creating your own products, whether they be e-books, a series of videos on a relevant topics in your area of passion and expertise.
Mike is offering a 12 week online course on Marketing Funnel Mastery that I highly encourage you to check out for yourself. He will also be holding future in person courses on the same subject. I recommend becoming a member of Renegade Professional which has video tutorials on all aspects of online marketing and you’ll have access to enroll in Marketing Funnel Mastery.

By the way the networking was superb and Mike hosted a great party at their penthouse for Marketing Merge on the water front in downtown Portland. My husband Larry and I had lunch with Jackie Ulmer a pioneer and icon in online marketing and direct sales and Kathy Bibby a fabulous healer and online marketer.
Marketing Funnel Mastery is the missing link to fully optimizing your online marketing. Watch the video below to hear my impressions of the weekend.

This was a good sign, even as we had not likely to find greatly fine
gold inside the stone. Not only does a digger understand that it’s very possible he could find a lot of gold with very little trouble, but, worse still, he knows he may work very, very hard without getting any gold at all. Finding the Venus reef abandoned he went for the Four Mile, two miles distant, and discovered about fourteen Chinamen camped there.

Plan well for the transition, and your physiotherapists, management personnel, and administrators will all reap the
benefits of this type of program. This can kill any business, and many therapists have gone out of business because of not charging enough.

I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for
me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much
more useful than ever before.

I Sue. I would love the link to your blog. I have no doubt that I would learn a lot from your years of experience. Thanks for being a pioneer in online marketing for the network marketing profession. The more of us who excel benefits the whole profession of network marketing. I like to think of it as when the tide comes in all ships rise.

Hi Mike, what an honor to have you stop by my blog. Thank you for all that you do and really caring about each of us. You are an outstanding role model. I think Larry will have his funnel completed before mine. Once I have taken care of some of my commitments and finish a couple more things on my blog I will be ready to draft my funnel and development my own products. I know this is the critical step where you truly become an online professional. I am excited for what the future has in store. Thanks for making it all possible.

You are so welcome Venus. It gives structure to our whole online experience. It is the structure of our business which has a huge impact on our lives.

Critical information, here, Faith. Thanks for putting it all together in such great format.
It’s amazing how many people ask me why they’re not making money online when they’ve never given a single moment to creating a sales funnel!
You’ve given us all a lot to think about. And if those of us who don’t think about it, will have to get at the end of the line of everyone wondering how to make money online.

Thank you David. Though Larry (my husband) and I knew immediately to enroll in Mikes online course for Marketing Funnel Mastery, I am so glad we flew to Oregon to get it up close and personal plus the networking was great!
You just have to write it out to see how everything connects and it spurs on the creative process as well.
Love your posts as well. I look forward to checking into your blog on a regular basis.

Hi Faith. What an incredible post. It was like taking a course. I just love the time and effort you put into this. My favorite quote is:
“If you are not creating your own marketing funnel, you are guaranteed falling into someone’s else’s marketing funnel.”
That is so true and something that opened my eyes to paying more attention to that. Also, when you talked about live events….that is something else I must pay attention to.
Thank you so much for this learning experience.
Regards,
Donna Merrill

Yes, this is one of the things I love most about Mike, he wants all of us to stand on our own two feet and fully step into our power. We can only do this by mapping out our plan in detail. I can’t recommend the online course as well. There is a lot of psychology behind your sales funnel will produce much better results.

Hey Faith,
It was a pleasure meeting you at the live event in person. You are such a joyful and fun person to be around. You summarized it very well. The event was a blast and the information presented was as well! This was a huge missing piece that a lot of people were and are still not clear on. But now after this event many are moving forward with implementing everything they’ve learned from Mike to creating their own marketing funnel mastery plan. I think that there will be a lot of new leaders and money making online entrepreneurs emerging after this live event. Of course those are the people who go into implementation mode and really focus on materializing their marketing funnel plan.
Hope you had a fun 4th of July! Sounds like you also had a great trip while making it to the live event. That’s pretty cool!
Have a fabulous week, Faith!

Hi Didi, It was an honor meeting you. Your fun and vibrant personality comes through in your videos and other online content however your light really shines brightly meeting you in person. You and Mike and others have been the pioneers for the rest of us. I am so grateful because I know in the early stages of any new movement is where the hardest work is done.
I am overjoyed with the Marketing Funnel piece in our businesses. One of the things I love about Mike is his honesty and his driving desire to see all of us stand on our own two feet and step into our power in our businesses and our lives.
When I think about Network Marketing as a whole, I have come to realize that since most people are only taught to be employees and do not know how to think as a true entrepreneur, they come into their Network Marketing businesses with an employee attitude.
Even for many people attempting online marketing there is still this employee mindset. Mike is teaching us to take full ownership of our businesses and ultimately our lives. This is a post in and of itself. It is time for a transforming, starting with each of us.
Didi, I’m missing the Vegas event but look forward to seeing you at another live event soon.

Great summary of information Faith. This journey of learning from leaders like Mike Klinger, Ann Sieg, Renegade Professionals, Tribe Intensive Masterminds,Katie Frieling, MLM Launch Formula with Mark Hoverson and Jonathan Budd, and so many more must all be applied with a marketing funnel, just like a business plan. Thanks for adding your ongoing value.

Well put in both the post and video. I enjoyed meeting you at the Event, though briefly! It is soooo much better to have a plan that actually leads somewhere — than all the random efforts, random trainings, and random accomplishments that characterize many, myself included.

Richard, I also enjoyed meeting you as well, though way too short. I have had some health challenges so we left a bit early so I wouldn’t get too tired. I appreciate the drive that Mike has to have all of us stand on our own two feed and step into our power. We need to craft the whole journey of our online marketing with our funnel or funnels. Look forward to meeting you at the next event.

Hi Faith,
Like you, I was without a clear understanding of marketing funnels, let alone how to create my own! But after this fabulous weekend-long workshop, I, like you, am now crystal clear about the “flow” of my own funnel from the beginning to the end. I am a firm believer in having complete mastery of your primary income streams; knowing how to build a funnel built around you and your own personal brand makes all the difference between the “big dogs” and everyone else. The time investment is worth every minute to learn this valuable skill for any entrepreneur wanting to increase sales.
Great post! And I am so glad Portland was showing her best to all of you who came from other places!

Mary Lou, It was fabulous to meet you in person. You remind me a lot of myself. I can tell how much you care for all those you work with and your integrity and intelligence shine through. Yes, we are onto something big here. I think bigger than we can even imagine in this moment. It just keeps getting better.
