The 6 Best Sales Funnels for Generating Leads Online + Free Clones of Ready-Built Funnels

A Sales Funnel is where your website visitors can come in the top and sales comes out the bottom.

In simple terms, you get your online visitors to go through a “capture page” where you can gather their contact information, usually a name & email and then follow up with them using email with additional Call To Actions to eventually lead to a sale and convert them into a paying customer.

Here is a basic lead magnet funnel map of a sales funnel to illustrate the point.

Who uses Sales Funnels?

Let’s jump in.

1) The Sales Letter Funnel

Use a traditional sales letter to sell your products or services.

This funnel uses a long form sales letter to sell the product or service up front.

It gets its name because of the script Russell Brunson uses for his sales letters in the DotComSecrets book called “Star, Story, Solution.”

The sales letter sells your front end product, and then you have upsells and downsells immediately after the main offer to increase the average cart value.

2) The Squeeze Page Funnel

Use curiosity to generate leads with this simple two-page sales funnel.

The goal of a squeeze page is to get your visitor to give you their email address.

These pages have very few other distractions. Often times, not even a logo on the page or any complicated footers or extra links.

The #1 secret to get the highest conversion rate on a squeeze page is to use a curiosity-based headline.

Then they have to put in their email address and click “submit” to figure out the answer to the question.

The better the curiosity, the more likely they are to give you their email address.

Squeeze pages, are great when you are going after a new audience so you don’t use a lot of branding. Focusing on curiosity to get them to opt-in is the goal.

Then, on the next pages in the funnel is when you can start introducing your branding, other content, videos, etc.

3) The Video Sales Letter Funnel

Use video to sell your products or services through a VSL funnel.

A video sales letter funnel has a video that makes the sale for your product or service.

Often times people will hide the “Add To Cart” button until after the video has revealed the price.

This isn’t necessary, but simple to do inside of ClickFunnels.

The video sales letter sells your product, you can include an Order Form Bump on the order form, and then we normally have an upsell and potentially a downsale.

4) The Lead Magnet Funnel

Give people an ethical bribe in exchange for their email address.

A lead magnet funnel is similar to the other optin funnels, except you are actually giving away something in exchange for their email address. It may be a report or video, but it’s typically something tangible that they are exchanging for their email address.

5) The Auto Webinar Funnel

Create auto webinars that automatically sell your products around the clock.

The Auto Webinar Funnel is used after an entrepreneur has proven their offer several times previously in the Webinar Funnel. The major difference in this funnel is that the historically best converting webinar is uploaded online (YouTube, Vimeo, etc) and is embedded in its own “Webinar Broadcast Page.”

Auto webinars can play every hour around the clock selling your products and services automatically for you. Someone registers for the webinar on the registration page, then they are taken to a confirmation page where they can see the date and time for their event. They are then emailed links to indoctrination pages where you can get them excited about the training they either are about to get on, or just completed.

After their presentation time has passed, they are then emailed links to a replay room where they have one last chance to watch the webinar.

6) The Bridge Funnel

Use a Bridge Funnel when you need to connect two different, but related ideas for the customer, or to pre-frame the thing you really want to sell.

This is especially helpful for affiliate or network marketers who don’t control the pages they are sending their visitors to when they are ready to signup.

This pre-frame bridge page gives you the ability to presell them before sending them into a funnel you don’t control.
