Funnel Series #12

What’s the difference between email marketing and funnel building services? We’re diving into another episode of our Funnel Series, tackling this question straight from my free Facebook group.

I know it can feel overwhelming to move from sending weekly nurture emails to building full-blown sales funnels, but this is the good stuff—the stuff that can elevate your services and income. Funnels are where strategy meets results, and in this episode, we’ll break it all down so you can step into these higher-value roles with confidence.

Listen to learn more about:

• The key differences between email marketing and funnel building
• Why funnels are the money-makers and how to pitch them to clients
• How to position yourself as a strategist while doing the implementation
• Steps to start offering funnel-building services today, even if you’re new to it
• Tips for tracking funnel performance and showing your value to clients

Tune in because understanding this difference and offering these services is exactly how you level up, charge more, and attract clients who see the VALUE in your work.

Funnel Series #11

You know how I always talk about going beyond admin tasks to become a next-level marketing assistant? Tracking funnel metrics is one of the biggest ways to do that. Too many service providers skip this step, and their clients pay the price. In this episode, we’re diving into how to track, analyze, and use data to boost your clients’ funnels—and your value as a Unicorn service provider.

My guest is “data whisperer” Kelsey Silver. She’s an MIT-certified data strategist, a former therapist, and now she’s using her genius for data to help entrepreneurs fine-tune their funnels and launches. Kelsey is The NeuroSpicy CEO who has figured out how to turn her ADHD into a superpower by helping her clients hyper-focus on what’s really working in their businesses. You’re going to love her no-BS approach to metrics.

Listen to learn more about:

• The three categories of funnel metrics you need to know: engagement, conversion, and revenue
• How to stop tracking vanity metrics that don’t matter and start focusing on numbers that drive decisions
• Why tools like UTM links, Google Analytics, and Hotjar are your secret weapons for data tracking
• The key metrics that make clients feel supported and confident—and how to deliver them
• How providing the right data can justify your rates and keep you booked out

Let’s be real: understanding data can feel overwhelming. But it’s also the thing that makes your clients love and NEED you. Kelsey breaks it down in a way that’s easy to follow and actionable (and fun!) If you want to position yourself as an irreplaceable team member, you need to tune in.
