5 Steps to Creating an Effective Sales Funnel

It starts out with a wide net such as people visiting your website with no commitment to buy. Then a smaller percentage of those show some interest in what you sell and start exploring your website to learn more about your products and/or services. Then a smaller percentage of those will find something really yummy that they just gotta have and they head to your checkout to buy.

The sales funnel is more than a conversion tool. A marketing funnel is a tool that helps you visualize the buyer’s journey. Zenovia Andrews says when you create a funnel, don’t sell. Instead, offer value in your sales funnel. Both Andrews and Margaret Croom, Director of Digital Marketing for eWomenNetwork, recommends the 5 steps for creating an effective sales funnel.

Be a Quitter! Stop Multi-Tasking and Make Some Money

Women like us will brag about how many balls they can juggle at one time. We think of ourselves as the queen of multitasking. Well, there is no such thing as multi-tasking! Research from the American Psychological Association says that this so-called multitasking actually reduces our productivity by 40 percent! So, it's time to be a quitter, lose the multitasking and make some money. Multi-tasking  is nothing but task-switching.

The K.E.Y.S. to Being Bold, Brave and Beautiful

The keys to being bold, brave and beautiful is first you have to listen carefully to your own heart, as Sandra Yancey talks about. You can't take a bold step until you know exactly what it is you want. To know what you want, you need to get quiet.

Bravery reveals itself in big and little ways. It could be quitting your corporate job to start your own business. Or it could be simply picking up the phone to call a new prospect.

Sandye Brown, says in her webinar presentation on eWomen Success Institute, "The ambitious future you want for yourself will not be achieved by the person you are today. It will require you to make a series of bold moves to truly transform your life and your business."  She shares her 4-Keys to Unlock Your Next Bold Move. Here it is in a nutshell:

K - Know what you want...and why

E - Expect and embrace setbacks

Y - Say "Yes" to the future that is waiting for you

S - Surrender

For your next bold move, first, get quiet and listen to your heart. What does your intuition tell you? Are you moving in a direction that just doesn't feel right? Are you working with a client who isn't a good fit? Do you need help finding clarity?

A Selfie or Headshot Just Won’t Cut It Anymore for the Online Entrepreneur

A great business headshot used to grab attention easily. But with many stores going online and almost every other women starting an online business, a headshot is no longer enough. In order to connect with today’s audience, your social media feed needs regular, image-centric content. People buy from who they know, like, and trust, which means that your potential clients need to see the woman behind your brand. Growing your online presence happens by standing out from the thousands of people who do what you do with magazine-quality photography. While that headshot you’ve been using for everything is beautiful, today’s potential client wants to know even more about you before they buy. To a stranger, that headshot is just a photo of a woman. What if you could get an entire library of images that tell your story? No longer would you be just another face, easily forgotten in a sea of entrepreneurs. Personal branding photography is the solution to all of these problems. Read the blog "3 Reasons Why a Selfie or Headshot Just Won’t Cut It Anymore for the Online Entrepreneur" to know more!
