TRANSCRIPT

 

Well, hello, my friend. Welcome to the Coach with Clarity podcast. My name is Lee Chaix McDonough, I'm your host, and today I am delighted to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Danielle Klemm. I've known Danielle for several years, in fact, she was there for me the very first time I ever ran Facebook ads for my business. So that's the context in which I was introduced to her. But over the years, she has really expanded her vision and her business to go beyond Facebook ads and really to look at the entire process or funnel that supports a client as they get to know you, get to like you and ultimately get to trust you. And she does that through sales funnels. Now, I'll be honest with you, when I hear the term sales funnel, sometimes I have a bit of an internal cringe, because I think about some of the less ideal ways we've seen sales funnels used in the online space, where it's very much about let's be honest, a money grab, and they don't feel client centered or client focused at all. I know I have been the client in that situation, I talk a little bit about that in our conversation today, and it doesn't feel good. And it's certainly not an experience I would want to create for one of my potential clients. And I know as a listener of the Coach with Clarity podcast, that's not how you want your clients to feel either. And that's why I wanted to bring Danielle on the show because she's not about that either. She is very much about creating ethical, intentional funnels that support your prospective client as they engage with you and your business. She has so much wisdom to share in this episode, we talked about what funnels are, we talk about if you even need a sales funnel in your business, and spoiler alert, there are some of you who may not need them, and we'll talk about who you are and why you don't need them. But you might be someone who needs or wants one and we'll talk about how to go about building that out as well. We cover so much in this conversation. I know you are going to love it. So let's get right into it. Here's my conversation with sales funnel expert, Danielle Klemm.
