Funnels Aren't The Root Problem

  • Most freelancers blame funnels, websites, ads, or AI when leads are low, but those are rarely the root cause.
  • The real issues are vague positioning or lack of proof to back claims.
ADVICE

Use A Simple Diagnostic To Find The Bottleneck

  • Diagnose your bottleneck by where prospects drop off: no clicks means bad positioning.
  • Clicks but no opt-ins indicate a proof problem, and booked calls but no sales suggest proof or offer issues.
ADVICE

Phrase Your Positioning Precisely

  • Use the nine-word positioning test: name the buyer, the job, and the clear result.
  • Make statements specific and sticky instead of vague promises like "websites that convert."
