Beyond Sales Funnels: How to Automate Customer Relationships to Drive Sales
Presenter: Julio Chavez
In this presentation we’ll be taking those ideas and skills taught in Casey’s Digital Strategies workshop and covering how to easily create long lasting customer relationships by building a sales funnel that nurtures and makes sales on autopilot.
A sales funnel is a step-by-step process that brings potential customers to your product or services, through a series of marketing actions like automated emails, videos, articles and landing pages, and converts them into actual paying customers. Sales Funnels help you pick a marketing strategy, grow your sales, help you know how to relate to your customer, give you an edge over your competition and improve on ways to grow your business.
Come learn the basics of all sales funnels, and then learn how to automate them so you spend LESS time cultivating your customers, but have more sales! This is sure to be a fun and interactive workshop helping you grow your sales without being “salesy.”
