Sales Funnels
In case you're not familiar with what a sales funnel is, here is an easy way to understand definition for you: The process a visitor takes in order to invest in your product, offer, or service.
Now the reason why sales funnels can be so powerful is that they are also great at eliminating distractions.
If you've ever seen a sales letter or video sales letter before then you'll know what I'm talking. Sales letters usually only have a few options:

So while websites might certainly serve more purposes than funnels, they also have a lot of great benefits too:
The last one is really important. But if websites have so many powerful features, are they really worth "saying no" to? Let's wrap up this post and get to the conclusion. Should You Say No To Websites? There's certainly been a lot of back and forth when it comes to funnels and websites, but after using them for many years it's safe to say that you should utilize both. How come? Because I prefer getting the best of both worlds. So when it comes to websites?
Then you'd be able to have sales funnels for:
Plus you can always connect these two where you take someone away from your site in order to:
So when all is said and done? I think you should say YES to both websites and funnels. How about you? Feel free to leave a comment down below and let me know. Thank you for reading.
