How to Use Evergreen Funnels in Your Clients Strategies as a Marketer
Q: What is the best way that marketers can set expectations with their clients around funnel timelines and results?
Set baseline numbers, propose realistic, incremental targets, and forecast outcomes from small changes to keep conversations grounded in data, avoiding promises of instant, dramatic revenue like a six-figure gain in a few weeks.
How to Use Evergreen Funnels in Your Clients Strategies as a Marketer
Q: Okay, so if a funnel is not converting, how do we figure out what's going on?
The guidance is to diagnose starting from the conversion event (e.g., webinar show-up, opt-ins) and examine whether there are issues with attendance, messaging, or follow-up, rather than assuming the entire funnel is broken; use data to guide incremental improvements.
How to Use Evergreen Funnels in Your Clients Strategies as a Marketer
Q: If a marketer is planning a strategy for a client, how do they decide whether a funnel should be a part of it or not?
Cheyenne explains funnels are a flexible framework; assess whether the client can benefit from a structured sequence of actions and data-driven decisions, and tailor the funnel components to the client's offers and audience rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.
How to Use Evergreen Funnels in Your Clients Strategies as a Marketer
Q: Before we jump in, can you give a little brief background of your journey and what led you here, where I know you specialize in funnels. So let's talk about how you got here.
Cheyenne describes starting at StoryBrand as an executive assistant to the COO, moving into marketing where she became marketing project manager, then senior copywriter and head of content/marketing, before venturing into her own funnel-focused business—Copy Girl and The Funnel Method.
Email Strategy for 2025: What You NEED to Know as a Marketer
Q: How should email KPIs be tracked for someone just starting out?
Track a simple dashboard: subscriber growth over time, open rate, and click rate; unsubscribes are important but not something to obsess over; keep things simple and steadily improve by focusing on quality of content and testing.
