High-Converting Sales Funnels

There’s a big difference between having a sales funnel and having a website. A sales funnel is like letting your top salesperson guide prospects to conversion (without the high overhead costs). A website, though, is like giving someone a pamphlet and letting them browse. Which do you think converts better? Yeah… the sales funnel.

You can also automate emails or sequences just like you would inside of a typical email service provider (or if it doesn’t fit your style, we integrate seamlessly with every ESP under the sun).
