Funnel Series #18

What if your Instagram followers could automatically become leads without you lifting a finger? That’s the magic of ManyChat funnels, and today, we’re diving into how marketing assistants can implement them to generate leads, qualify prospects, and increase conversions—all on autopilot.

We continue our Funnel Series with Katy Widrick, a Fractional Chief of Everything at Make Media Over. She shines the light on blind spots for visionary founders and turns marketing pros into CMOs. Katy has spent over 20 years in marketing and revenue expansion, helping business owners recover their biggest expense (lost sales) by using simple, effective systems to increase conversions and decrease top-of-funnel costs. She’s worked with 7-, 8-, and 9-figure businesses to maximize impact, scale their offers, and drive top-line revenue. Now she’s here to show you how to do the same using ManyChat funnels.
