How I Fixed My Funnel and Doubled Conversions
I learned the hard way that 60% of leads drop off before they even reach the decision-making stage. At one point, I was flooded with leads but still struggling to convert them into paying clients. The frustration was real—no matter how many leads came in, they just weren’t closing.
The Problem
The root issue was my sales funnel. I was using broad, untargeted messaging that tried to appeal to everyone but connected deeply with no one. My lead magnets were generic, my follow-ups were impersonal, and the process itself was too complicated. It wasn’t surprising that I often heard clients say, “This looks interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s right for me.” There was clearly a disconnect, and I knew I had to make changes.
The Fix
After identifying the problem, I overhauled my entire approach. Here’s what I did:
1. Targeted Messaging
Instead of casting a wide net, I began segmenting my leads. For instance, leads interested in MiM programs received tailored content like success stories, program comparisons, and specific resources that spoke directly to their needs. This personalization made my messaging more relevant and effective.
2. Personalized Lead Magnets
Gone were the generic PDFs. I started creating custom guides and resources that addressed the specific concerns of my audience. By offering more personalized lead magnets, I was able to engage leads better and show that I truly understood their needs.

3. Simplified Process
I simplified the entire sales process from initial contact to closing. Leads no longer got lost in the shuffle—quick, personalized follow-ups replaced long, generic responses. This made it easier for leads to engage and reduced the likelihood of losing them along the way.
The Results
The changes I made had a huge impact. Conversions doubled, client objections dropped, and the entire sales process felt more natural and less forced. Clients felt understood, and the streamlined process made it easier for them to make decisions.
Final Thoughts
If you’re struggling with leads dropping off or failing to convert, it’s worth taking a close look at your sales funnel. Are you using targeted messaging? Is your process too complicated? Are you offering personalized value at each stage?
