Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Richard McGirr is the co-founder and CEO of Property Llama and Property Llama Capital, an income focused fund sponsor that helps accredited investors move underperforming real estate equity into passively managed, cash flowing investments. He also hosts Unlimited Capital on the Best Ever CRE network, where he covers capital raising, fund operations, and the business of building an investment platform. Richard and his partner Chris Lopez launched their own firm roughly two years ago, after raising about $55 million in 18 months at a previous shop. The first twelve months were a grind. Today the firm runs about $42 million in its own debt fund, raised $24 million last year, and treats capital raising as a measurable sales and marketing operation rather than a relationship exercise. Richard McGirr returns for part two to open the books on capital raising. He starts with why debt funds reshaped his business. Carried interest is collected every month rather than at a sale, which turns a raise into recurring revenue instead of a run of acquisition fees. With rates elevated, investors have pulled in their time horizons, and a fund that distributes within 60 days is a far easier sell than an equity deal that pays on exit in year five. From there Richard walks through the machinery. He explains why launching his own firm nearly failed once the low hanging fruit ran out, why weekly dials are the leading indicator he manages against, and why he pays for access to trusted distribution instead of building an audience from scratch. He also lays out his full funnel, from a single webinar to a 50 email drip to a same day phone call triggered by a link click. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Debt fund carry is collected monthly, which turns a raise into recurring revenue Higher rates shorten investor time horizons and favor shorter lockups Manage weekly dials and new qualified leads, because both sit inside your control Buy access to trusted distribution rather than building an audience from scratch One webinar delivered repeatedly outperforms ten new ones Call every investor who clicks a link, the same day Topics Why Debt Funds Became the Engine of the Business Carried interest is collected monthly, not at a sale About $42 million in the fund throws off just under $2 million a year in carry At their previous firm, the debt fund quietly covered company payroll Why Debt Funds Sell Faster Right Now Higher rates pull investor time preference in LPs receive a first distribution within 60 days Lockups run 18 to 24 months, with monthly loan payoffs providing liquidity Why the Launch Nearly Failed The easy network at the previous firm was already tapped Every personal network runs out eventually Messaging, product selection, sales management, and email drips all had to be rebuilt Dials Are the Metric You Control Sales results are input driven, and inputs are the only controllable variable Richard's team makes 200 calls a week Moving from 25 to 100 dials a week tripled soft commits within two weeks Lead Quality Over Lead Volume Minimums are $100,000, with no exceptions Two paid Best Ever webinars raised $1 million each, at roughly half a percent media cost of capital A webinar swap with an estate planner produced 600 registrants and zero closes Large audiences skew toward broad content and non-accredited viewers Brand Transfer From Paid Webinars Presenting on a trusted platform borrows that platform's credibility Investors arrive already willing to listen, so there is less convincing to do The result is a higher conversion rate in less time Earned Media vs. Paid Media Earned media costs nothing and converts well, but the ceiling is low Richard hosts on Best Ever CRE and Chris Lopez hosts on PassivePockets Paid webinars buy speed, volume, and control over timing One Webinar, Delivered Repeatedly The Intro to Private Lending webinar is the only one they run Staff are tasked with sourcing groups and pricing webinar slots Fear the operator who has delivered one webinar 10,000 times Go Where Buyers Already Gather Publishing content and waiting to be found rarely reaches your ideal investor Target communities built around passive income and financial independence Capital raising is a two sided market, and plenty of people are already looking to deploy Richard's Funnel, Start to Finish A webinar form on the site leads to the replay and a 50 email drip Any link click notifies the sales team on Slack and triggers a same day call Of 25,000 contacts, roughly 100 are actively in market at any given time Winning the Attention Battle Investors triage hundreds of emails a day, and your offering sits at the bottom Rank your list by opens and clicks before you start dialing Ask for a specific commitment, such as watching the webinar within three days Interested investors rarely call to say they are on the fence, they simply go quiet
#227 HAND AUFS HERZ - #story2brand Cafe Loni Hamm: Was, wenn deine beste Brand Story schon immer Teil deiner Familie war? Manchmal beginnt eine Marke nicht mit einer Strategie. Sondern mit einer Geschichte. In dieser Folge bin ich zu Gast im Café Loni und spreche mit Pia, die sich mit gerade einmal 28 Jahren ihren Kindheitstraum erfüllt hat: ein eigenes Café. Doch Café Loni ist viel mehr als Kaffee und Kuchen. Es ist Omas Wohnzimmer. In jedem Teller, jedem Stuhl und jedem Detail steckt ein Stück Familiengeschichte – vor allem die Geschichte von Oma Loni. Aus Erinnerungen, alten Möbeln, Geschirr und ganz viel Herz ist ein Ort entstanden, der sich für viele Menschen längst nach Zuhause anfühlt. Wir sprechen darüber, wie aus einem freien Ladenlokal nach und nach eine Vision wurde, warum Pia und ihr Freund über drei Jahre renoviert haben und was es bedeutet, ein Business komplett aus eigener Kraft und ohne Kredit aufzubauen. Aber vor allem geht es um Storytelling, Personal Brand und die Frage, warum Menschen eigentlich kommen. Denn am Ende ist der Kuchen wichtig – aber noch wichtiger ist das Gefühl, mit dem jemand das Café wieder verlässt. Pia zeigt dabei ganz wunderbar: Du brauchst nicht zuerst eine perfekte Website, einen Funnel oder eine riesige Marketingstrategie. Du darfst selbst deine Marke sein. Eine Folge über Mut, Familie, Selbstständigkeit, Erinnerungen, Herzensprojekte und darüber, was entstehen kann, wenn wir unsere eigene Geschichte nicht verstecken, sondern sie zum Mittelpunkt von dem machen, was wir erschaffen. Und vielleicht ist Café Loni deshalb eben wirklich nicht nur ein Café.

A great copy isn't just a “nice to have” anymore, it's the difference between traffic that prints money and traffic that quietly bleeds your ad budget dry. In a world where attention is short, feeds are noisy, and AI-generated fluff is everywhere, only truly persuasive words cut through and convert. Today's guest, Jon Benson of BNSN.AI, is the copywriter credited with inventing the Video Sales Letter (VSL), a format that has generated billions of dollars in digital sales and reshaped online direct response marketing.In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jon breaks down the evolution of the “ugly” VSL, from plain text on a black screen with voiceover, to hypnotic slide patterns, NLP command phrases, and innovations like magic buy buttons, no-pause video players, and timed call-to-action reveals. He explains why words on the screen plus spoken words outperform talking-head videos, how dual modalities (reading + listening) supercharge retention, and why removing distractions can multiply conversions even in today's muted, mobile-first world. Jon then pulls back the curtain on Benson (BNSN.AI), his AI-driven copy platform built specifically for high-converting VSLs and funnels. Instead of generic prompts and AI “stink,” Benson uses promptless AI, pre-prompting, frameworks, and RAG to train multiple LLMs on proven copy patterns. You'll hear how his system breaks a VSL into specialized sections, uses different models for different copy tasks, and rewrites behind the scenes so what you see sounds like a top-tier human copywriter, not a template-spitting chatbot. A big theme of this conversation is mindset: you are not your avatar. Jon explains why writing “how you talk” usually kills conversions, why your copy shouldn't sound exactly like you, and how to instead sound like the best version of you that your market will respond to. He shares lessons from decades as a hired gun copywriter and ghostwriter, the importance of writing for cold traffic, and why the words are still 80% of the funnel, even if you use ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, or any other page builder. https://youtu.be/deBPX78TpHQ?si=wuWrOAUu9AaXn9b- If you've ever been frustrated by weak AI copy, low-converting VSLs, or the feeling that your offer “should” be selling better than it is, this episode will recalibrate how you think about persuasion, funnels, and AI-powered copywriting. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of what truly moves cold prospects to buy, and how tools like BNSN.AI can help you scale high-quality copy across your entire funnel without sacrificing human-level persuasion. Quotes: “It's not enough to just give AI a good VSL and say ‘you figure it out.' You have to break it into components and get very specific.” “What people call ‘AI stink' is really just AI pulling from the wrong training. If you don't feed it the right patterns, you'll never get what you're wanting.” “The words are the most important things that you have to sell anything… if you get the words that sell, you are 80% there.” Contact Details: Turn AI Into Your Best Copywriter: Start with BNSN Today Master the Words That Sell: Learn from Jon Benson Connect with Jon Benson on LinkedIn and Master Copy That Sells Subscribe to Jon Benson's YouTube Channel for Sales Copy Secrets Follow Jon Benson on Instagram for Daily Copywriting Tips Follow Jon Benson for AI & Copywriting Strategies Master Copywriting: Follow Jon Benson on Facebook

This week, Brett, Austin, and Jason cover four very different corners of gaming — starting with Halo: Campaign Evolved. Brett played the entire thing with zero nostalgia, and the remake genuinely won him over. But the three new prequel missions, the only original content in the release, tell a different story: reused assets, thin characters, and a baffling choice to have a new character openly dismiss Master Chief. That firsthand breakdown gets weighed against the discourse, the layoffs that hit the studio a week after launch, and what it all means for a $50 price tag. From there, the crew takes a first look at Funnel Runners, an early access co-op survival game where the real threat is a terrifyingly realistic tornado — thin on content right now, but building real community buzz. Then it's a generational showdown on Ghost Recon Wildlands' 25th anniversary update: Jason's 195 hours deep, Brett's walking in cold, and the two compare notes on the new 4K/60fps upgrade, the Last Rites mission, and what Ubisoft's silence on Breakpoint says about where the franchise is really headed. Closing things out, Austin replays Spider-Man 2018 in the wake of Brand New Day's record-breaking box office run, using it as a lens for what Marvel's Wolverine — Insomniac's next big swing — might look like when it lands in September. Time-value takes, honest tradeoffs, and opinions throughout — no hype, just the real talk busy gamers actually need.

Elizabeth Maxson has started noticing the tells. Beyond em dashes and "quotation marks," the certain phrases repeated a little too often. Leaders she's long admired, publishing content that no longer sounds like them. On this episode of Finite by Clarity, she makes the case that this matters more than most CMOs think, not because AI-assisted content is wrong, but because publishing without judgement, experience or voice quietly erodes trust.Elizabeth is Chief Marketing Officer of Contentful, a digital experience platform trusted by more than 4,800 customers. Before Contentful, she was CMO at Tableau, a Salesforce company, and led Strategic Technology Partnerships marketing at Salesforce, launching relationships with AWS, Google Cloud, Alibaba and Apple.In this episode, Jodi Norris sits down with Elizabeth to unpack how the buyer journey has changed shape, and why the instinct to produce more content is usually the wrong one. Elizabeth explains how cutting webinar output and being more selective on topics increased registrations and conversions, and how keeping personalisation deliberately simple, segmenting by audience type rather than complex micro-targeting, delivered a 195% increase in click-through rate.Inside you'll find…Why the small, repeated tells of AI-generated content are quietly costing leaders their audience's trustWhy "less is more" content strategies are outperforming high-frequency productionHow simple, broad-strokes personalisation is consistently outperforming complex micro-targeting

AI pinpointed the exact stage where my ecommerce funnel was hemorrhaging sales, and the answer wasn't where I expected.In this video, I walk you through how to audit your own funnel, identify the weakest stage, and stop wasting time fixing the wrong problem.Watch me trace $299,000 in ad spend from 26 million impressions and 639,000 outbound clicks through product views, carts, initiated checkouts, and 11,820 purchases. Rather than guessing, I benchmark every stage against its performance target and eliminate the metrics that are already healthy.In my funnel, AI zeroed in on checkout: only 17% of initiated checkouts converted to purchases against a 40% target. I also walk through the Shopify change we made, moving from a three-page checkout to one page and watching the number climb to 30%.You'll see how to copy my Funnel Builder, connect your own data, rule out the healthy stages, and focus on the conversion point that is actually costing you sales.Subscribe to learn more marketing.#Ecommerce #ConversionRateOptimization #Shopify
S6:E64 Every entrepreneur has numbers. Not every entrepreneur knows how to listen to them. In this episode, Dr. LL sits down with fractional CFO Matt Putra to discuss how financial data becomes a decision-making system rather than simply an accounting exercise. Together they explore profitability, funnel analysis, constraints, ROI, and why the best businesses don't just measure performance; they understand what drives it. If people don't understand the financial story behind their business, they often invest in the wrong priorities. Likewise, if AI systems or decision-makers only see isolated metrics without context, they can misinterpret the health and value of an organization.

Most cannabis brands are advertising to the wrong people — and paying for it. In this episode of Kaya Cast, Tommy Truong talks with Jake Litke, founder of MediaJel and MJBiz Agency of the Year winner, about how cannabis advertising actually works when Google and Meta won't take your money.Jake breaks down building the first cannabis-approved programmatic ecosystem, why attribution is king, and how the right data corrects your audience assumptions fast — like the accessory brand whose best customers turned out to be sourdough-baking suburban moms.

The Ohio State Fair is open but as Ohio Statehouse Scoop Jo Ingles reports, the heat on the midway is being matched by heated issues in statewide political campaigns. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson join Jo to talk about new political ads, data centers, the situation involving Haitian immigrants in Springfield and more. Plus, some state lawmakers want to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote. It's all this week on the Ohio Statehouse Scoop.
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Things that I've noticed is that bottom-of-the-funnel results tend to match the top-of-the-funnel activities. In other words, if you're 10% ahead of your goal and you look to your top of the funnel activities, you might say, Oh yeah, you know what, I do. I've got, I've been to 10% more networking events than I normally do. I've had 10% more one-on-ones. I've had 10% more, I went to that extra trade show I don't normally go to, or I stayed for that extra day. If you're behind, that tends to be the case too. We've seen a correlation between bottom of the funnel and top of the funnel. In other words, if you're looking at your year and saying, I'm 20% behind, and you say, all right, let me, how many leads did I generate? Boom, not as many as I thought. How many phone calls did I make? A little bit less than normal. How many days of networking did I do? Ooh, that's right, I skipped that whole week on vacation. I didn't go to those three events. And we tend to find that you're, oh, I didn't make that many outbound calls, or I didn't do that many emails, or I didn't send as many check-in text messages with my existing client base as I normally do. They tend to correlate. I'm down 10% on the bottom of the funnel. I tend to be down 10% top of the funnel. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.
Noom's onboarding funnel runs 120 to 140 screens. Some 3-screen funnels convert above 10%. "The length does not matter. Bigger is not always better," as Jacob Rushfinn put it. Part 2 of the FunnelFox panel gets tactical on how web-to-app funnels actually get built.Part 2 of the FunnelFox webinar panel, with Rocketship HQ as partner. Shamanth Rao moderates Jacob Rushfinn (CEO, Botsi), Andrey Shakhtin (CEO, FunnelFox), Patrick Stuart-Constant (CEO, Sociaaal), Mike Gadd (VP Customer Success, Singular), and Elise Zareie (Head of Paid Social, Lingokids). If Part 1 was about the shift, Part 2 is about the mechanics.Elise Zareie on why longer funnels convert better in weight-loss and health but fail on kids apps, where a parent just wants to hand the phone over. Andrey Shakhtin on Noom's 120 to 140 screen funnel as the industry ceiling.

https://teachhoops.com/ Today's episode is brought to you by TeachHoops.com, home to thousands of organized drill videos, defensive breakdowns, and course templates — everything in one click instead of scrubbing through random YouTube videos. In this episode, we install the LockLeft defensive framework: a simple, teachable system built on one ruthless idea — force every ball handler to his left hand, every possession, all game long. We cover the core rules: how on-ball defenders angle their stance to take away the right hand, how help defenders shade to shrink the left side of the floor, and how the whole scheme squeezes passing windows until offenses start throwing the ball to you. You'll learn the three most common breakdowns when teams first install it, how to rep it with simple shell drill constraints, and why this system is especially powerful at the high school and youth levels, where almost nobody can finish with their weak hand. If you've ever wanted a defensive identity your kids can master in two weeks and ride all season, this is the episode.

In this episode, host Don sits down with Naren Arulrajah, founder and CEO of Ekwa Marketing, to dismantle the med spa playbook of cheap ads and low-price Botox deals. Naren argues that discount-first marketing doesn't just underperform, it actively damages your position in the market and fills your schedule with patients who were never going to stay. The conversation gets specific about the numbers owners are ignoring. Naren breaks down why the average practice books only one in three new patients and just one in six from ads, why organic leads cost $60 to $70 against roughly $300 for paid, and why a patient who doesn't book is a phone-handling problem rather than a marketing one. He closes with the framework he insists on with every client: build the funnel around find, like, and trust, rank for at least 100 search terms to survive Google's messy middle, and generate 10 or more paragraph reviews every month. Ads earn a place only after all three are working, as an adjunct, never the engine.
Doing It Online : The Doable Online Marketing Podcast with Kate McKibbin
What's the difference between a funnel that makes $5K a month... and one that makes $5K a day?Most people guess "more traffic." And that guess is keeping a lot of very good businesses stuck exactly where they are.Because a $5K day funnel isn't a $5K month funnel with a bigger ad budget. They're completely different levels of business... with different engines, installed in a different order.In this episode I'm breaking down all three levels: $5K months, $5K weeks and $5K days. What life actually looks like at each stage, the engines you need to install, the real numbers to aim for, and the order to build it all in.If you're making sales but can't seem to crack the next revenue level no matter what you try... this episode is for you.Which single engine gets you to $5K months fastest (and how little ad spend you can start with)? Which two engines stack on top to create $5K weeks? And what's the one offer you must have in place before $5K days are even possible?Listen to find out.

Want to scale your property management or co-hosting business past 10, 20, 50 listings? Book a call here: https://strsecrets.com/applyConnect with Mike Reilly : https://www.instagram.com/mikereillync/Most operators think busy season is the worst time to look for new properties. Mike Reilly just signed 7 new contracts that prove them wrong.Last quarter his team at NC Stays reached out to 1,000 homeowners. They opened 68 real conversations. They signed 7 new properties, and 19 more deals are still on the table. And all of it started in the middle of peak season.Why? Because of one thing most operators never check: the 90 day notice window. Most management contracts renew in the fall. If a homeowner wants to leave their property manager, they have to say so 90 days before the contract renews. So if you wait until September to start talking to owners, they're already stuck for another year.In this 18 minute training, Mike walks through his COHOST funnel step by step:C: Create awareness. A simple website, social posts, and a list of homes you want.O: Open the conversation. Send a free 5 minute video showing the owner what they're missing. Don't ask for a meeting.H: Hold the discovery call. This is where deals are really won, and where you filter out bad-fit owners.O: Offer your solution.S: Sign the contract. Including the $2,500 upgrade rule Mike puts in every contract.T: Take over and onboard. This pairs with last week's onboarding episode.Plus the story of a beach house owner losing $30,000 to $40,000 a year because his best photo was buried at spot #68 in his listing. And why it takes about 4.5 calls before an owner signs.If you have no new leads right now, this episode shows you why.

The funnel most marketers grew up on – see the ad, click, browse, add to cart, buy – did not gradually erode. It came apart almost overnight, as shoppers got comfortable discovering, deciding, and buying inside social feeds and LLMs, often in a single moment. Recorded live at K:LDN 2026 in London, this is the close-out conversation for the series, a step back to ask what actually replaces the funnel and what it demands of the brands trying to keep pace. Alicia Esposito of Future Commerce sits down with Kelsey Capps, who leads Klaviyo's product work across analytics, personalization, and AI, and so has a front-row seat to the change. A shopper can now find a product in a TikTok comment, buy it, and post about it before the marketing team has time to react, which means the advance-planning window marketers relied on has all but vanished. Kelsey's argument is that brands have to rebalance, away from a roughly 80/20 split of campaigns over automated flows and toward signal-triggered automation that can react in the moment, like a flow that fires when someone arrives from a ChatGPT referral. Underneath the tactics sits a bigger shift: optimizing your site and product data so the machines doing the discovering can actually surface you, and building an operating model around understanding customers rather than merely targeting them. Her closing note is optimistic. The data advantage that once belonged only to enterprises is now within reach of the smallest brand, and because customer intelligence compounds, the brands that start building the model first are the ones that pull away. What you'll learn What replaces the linear funnel once discovery, comparison, and conversion happen at once Why the advance-planning window has collapsed, and what to do about it How to rebalance from campaigns toward signal-triggered automated flows Why optimizing your product data and brand voice for machines is now table stakes How a single wrong recommendation breaks trust, and why understanding beats targeting Why customer intelligence compounds, and why first movers pull away Pull quotes "Customers don't want to be just targeted, they want to be understood." — Kelsey Capps [13:50] "You can see when someone came to your site from ChatGPT. That's just a UTM source on an event, and a brand could automate a workflow around it." — Kelsey Capps [16:15] "This conversation used to be confined to the four walls of industry events. Now your family and friends are having the same conversations about how their data is being used." — Alicia Esposito [23:01] "Even your smallest mom-and-pop shop can take advantage of their first-party data in a way they just never could before." — Kelsey Capps [24:55] Chapters 0:00 Cold open and introductions 5:23 Perpetual commerce and the collapse of the funnel 6:11 Discovering and buying inside a TikTok comment 11:43 Understanding customers, not just targeting them 14:46 Optimizing your data for the machines doing the discovering 15:40 The vanishing planning window, campaigns versus flows 17:08 Composer and orchestration pulling it together 19:03 Vision in the age of autonomy 22:00 The turkey-sub story, how a bad recommendation breaks trust 23:43 What Kelsey is optimistic about, and the urgency for laggards In-Show Mentions: Learn more about Klaviyo's Composer Associated Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Most professionals know they need more high-value clients. What they don't have is a system to bring them in predictably — without cold pitching, diluting their brand, or spending all their time on marketing instead of client work. Esther Stewart is a Business Growth Strategist and founder of Cottn Owl. A former Fortune 500 finance associate, she spent eight years inside billion-dollar institutions training 7 and 8-figure executives in white-glove sales, client retention, and institutional-grade growth strategy. After leaving a multiple six-figure corporate career in 2023, Esther built two multi-five-figure per month businesses using one offer, one sales system, and disciplined infrastructure. Her philosophy: premium clients don't buy hype — they buy certainty. In this episode, Esther joins Scott Love to break down exactly how professional services providers can build a client acquisition funnel that works — simply, intentionally, and at a premium level. You'll learn: What a funnel actually is — and why most professionals massively overcomplicate it How the price of your offer determines the length and structure of your funnel Why the only thing you need to sell first is a conversation The #1 pitfall that stops high-achieving professionals from growing their pipeline (visibility) How to overcome the discomfort of showing up online when you're used to being the expert, not the promoter Why on-camera ads outperform stock images at premium price points — every time How a fractional CFO generated $120K in new pipeline value in her first 30 days Why hiring a coach isn't enough — and how to pick the right coach for the right thing 3 steps to reverse-engineer your revenue goal into a working funnel If you're a lawyer, consultant, doctor, or high-level service provider sitting on a strong offer but struggling to fill your pipeline — this episode is your roadmap.

#371 | Most B2B companies gate everything and hide their pricing. Funnel Leasing does neither, and grew from $3 million to $50 million in revenue anyway. Dave sits down with Alex Howe, SVP of Marketing and Growth at Funnel Leasing, to talk about how he built that growth engine with no marketing background, no paid ads, and no sales team pressure. They get into why his whole philosophy is built around being different rather than better, why ungating everything (including pricing) builds more trust than gating ever could, and how to prove marketing is working without hard metrics like a two-week sales cycle. Plus: how a background in political PR shaped his approach to getting attention, the event marketing stunts that actually got prospects talking, and why messaging should keep evolving without ever losing its core story.Timestamps(00:00) - - Introduction (05:32) - - Be Different, Not Just Better (09:13) - - Why You Should Ungate Everything, Including Pricing (13:34) - - How to Prove Marketing Is Working Without Hard Metrics (18:38) - - A Great Product Makes Marketing Easier (24:54) - - Build a Point of View by Staying Close to Your Customers (27:10) - - Creative Event Marketing Beats a Boring Booth (31:00) - - What a PR Background Teaches You About Getting Attention (35:59) - - Hire Specialists and Give Them Ownership (39:00) - - Why Differentiation Matters More Than Ever in the AI Era Join 50,0000 people who get Dave's Newsletter here: https://www.exitfive.com/newsletterLearn more about Exit Five's private marketing community: https://www.exitfive.com/***Brought to you by:Webflow - A website platform built for the agentic web, helping modern marketing teams build fully custom sites—no developer needed—that perform in AI search.

For years people have asked me the same question: Russell, if you could only build one funnel, what's the best one? And my answer always frustrates them — it depends. But here's what almost nobody realizes: inside every business, there's only ONE funnel that actually matters. You might look at the two hundred funnels I've built and think it's chaos… it's not. All the rest are just appendages to the one funnel that rules them all. I'm calling in from Lake Powell over the Fourth of July — fireworks, family, the whole thing — and with Funnel Hacking Live AI now about two and a half months out and more than half sold out, I wanted to give you a taste of what that room actually feels like. So I'm sharing one of my all-time favorite presentations from the last FHL: “One Funnel to Rule Them All.” I'll walk you inside my actual brain — the exact thought process I'd charge you for in a consult — to find the single funnel your whole business should be built around. Key Highlights: ◼️Why the best funnel is always “it depends” — and the mindset shift that every business has just one funnel that rules them all, with everything else as an appendage built to feed it ◼️Gary Halbert's line that reframes everything — how one idea, “properly exploited,” is worth more than ten lifetimes of hard work… and why most people execute the right idea the wrong way ◼️The night ClickFunnels almost didn't make it — how I failed to sell it four or five times, then closed half the room at Mike Filsaime's event with a single Perfect Webinar, and realized the offer was never the problem — the presentation was ◼️The “little hinges, big doors” tweak — the one change Todd made to a thank-you page that turned 2,500 buyers into 7,500 people on $97-a-month recurring ◼️How the “Linchpin” model was really born — webinar to free trial to continuity — and why it's still the business model I'd build on today Here's what I hope you take from this: you probably don't have a traffic problem or a product problem. You have a “too many funnels” problem — energy scattered across a dozen things when your whole business should be pouring into one. Find the funnel that rules them all, get it converting, and every other funnel becomes a feeder that makes it stronger. So let me ask you the same thing I'd ask if you hired me: out of everything you're building right now, which one funnel actually matters… and what would happen if that were the only one you fixed this quarter? ◼️FUNNEL HACKING LIVE AI: Russell is bringing FHL back for one night only this September — and this time you don't just leave inspired, you leave with working, sellable funnels and AI systems actually running.
