Chapters
A calling.
Yesterday I realized I have to do this.
Well today.
Today's the day that you change the world.
ClickFunnels was built to remove the barriers to entrepreneurship so that dreamers could become doers. So that those of us who are crazy enough to believe that we can change the world, we actually can. And as that world changes, so do we. With over $10 billion generated by our use, we are so proud of what we built and we're excited to reintroduce ourselves.
Hi, we're ClickFunnels and when someone says, what's a funnel?
We say, what isn't. Everything is how you make decisions on a daily basis. You're constantly funneling all of your activities through a journey to achieve the desired result. So in that sense, funnels are actually a mindset that lets you see every tangible opportunity for growth and continuous revenue. A funnel in the digital space is something that grabs your customer's hands and leads them directly to the products that they actually need and want. ClickFunnels is the only platform that empowers you to do this at scale. When you see it, you are going to love it.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, ClickFunnels is easier to use and more powerful than ever before.
This is gonna be a game changer.
My first funnel made what my business would normally do for half a year. I was stunned.
Starting my own business really was a liberating experience.
Absolutely life changing.
It feels like a movement, to be honest.
It's a whole new way to look at funnels.
You don't have to go through it alone.
It's not just the tool.
You got a whole community come with it.
You don't have to worry about the technology. We'll handle that for you. Don't worry about becoming a great marketer. With our education and strategies, you'll unlock that. We've been completely reimagining how we serve you, our users. You'll notice the difference right away in the way the platform looks, how it feels and how intuitive it is.
I can create from beginning to end my product the funnel now with frameworks and copy paste that sequence, same framework and offer it to your audience, the.
Resources you have access to. That's what makes it different.
This is ClickFunnels for the next generation and we're excited to see how you'll use it to change the world in your own way. We have an incredible lineup of new features to roll out features that you've.
Asked for in corporate America. You're just a number so to have a development team that literally will sit down with you and have conversations about what can I do to make your life easier is massive. You don't find that in any other company.
I'm blown away by the loyalty they have to their customer base.
The rebrand of our software isn't just about looks. It's about you, the funnel hackers. So you can take your marketing to new heights where software, education and community can all be found in one place. It's hitting at the mission of making millions of entrepreneurs.
I just can't imagine a better life. My plans are to go show my son the world.
I love ClickFunnels because it's all my people.
I'm so grateful to be a part of this family. It's pretty amazing.
I want to invite you to see it for yourself. Explore the new features, build your first.
Or your next funnel. And remember, you're only one funnel away.
Happy Friday. How is everyone doing? Well, we're back. I know we took a little bit of a break. We took a small hiatus. We had some things going on, some events to attend and now we are back. But we are back with one last person and I did want to address that. Danny Walsh has moved on from ClickFunnels. My co host, my right hand man. He has moved on to more ambitious goals. Everyone knows Danny, everyone knows he can walk into a room and light it up and just talk to anybody and he kind of took that and he's running with it and, and we wish Danny all the best. He was such a guide for me. He was so helpful and I really, really wish him as many 2cc awards as he can win. He is going to crush it with whatever he does. He is an entrepreneur at heart and we are so excited for Danny. So I wanted to address that again. Danny, if you're out there and you're watching, thank you so much for everything that you've done and I am so excited to see you on your journey. Okay, let's move on. Okay. Awesome. Who's been using the mcp? I know we released it a couple of weeks ago and it's been getting some updates. I want to know who's been using it. I know Tim has been using it. Tim Hewitt. He has recorded a video on how to use the MCP and it is awesome. Like we watched it internally. We kind of like put it on a screen at the office and we grabbed some popcorn in and we watched it. It is so good. If you haven't seen Tim's video, Tim shared in The Facebook chat, if you're watching. Oh, Tim is in the chat. I see you here. Share it, watch it. It's so good. It saves so much time for anything you're doing. And there's so many use cases. So I know Tim found a use case on how to use the mcp. I want to see yours. I want to see how you're using the products that we're pushing out there and giving to you guys to make your lives easier because other people can learn from that. Right? Tim's use case is just one of many. I'm sure he's going to come up with some other ones. But put it out there. He's got a YouTube out there. He has a YouTube video there showing how to, you know, how to use the MCP, how to connect it and how to integrate into ClickFunnels. There's so many ways to use this thing. We want to see it all. I want to see how creative you guys can be with the products we're putting out, the things we're pushing out there just to make sure that it's going to be great for everybody. And who knows, maybe we'll bring you on as an expert. Maybe you can teach people on Feature Fridays. We'll see, you know, but it's been great. We're getting some really, really good feedback on, on this feature. If you have any questions or you don't have access to it, please, please, please email me at outreachlickfunnels.com and I can get that enabled for you. So if you don't have it, reach out. I'm happy to give it to you. If you don't have, if you didn't see the training on it, there is an hour long training. I can share that video with you also. Just gotta find it. But I'm sure it's out there somewhere and if you're having any problems, I'm always happy to jump on calls. It's so funny because my calendar on Friday is just empty and by the end of the week or by the end, like come Monday, it's just booked with people who need help onboarding, people who need coaching calls, people who just have questions, you know, and there's people who just want to talk to a human people just want to talk to someone at Click Funnels to see how to move forward, to see how to do the things that we put out there and we, it's not only me who supports, we have a full team that can help and jump on these calls with you. So if you're watching this and you're struggling and you don't know how to move forward. Please reach out email outreach clickfunnels.com we will get on a call with you, I promise. We get on a call with anybody who wants. Okay, Moving on. We have a new initiative out here. I don't know if anybody's heard about this, but we are looking for your story. Okay? We are looking to promote people's success stories with our community. So we have a website here that I want everybody to, to head over to. I'm going to post it in the comments and we'll, we'll send it to here. Okay. MyClickFunnelStory.com and what this is, it's a place where you can share your success story and it doesn't have to be, you won a million. You made a million dollars. That's not what this is. This is, I was not even stuck in a nine to five and now I'm out. And now I'm like, you know, going on trips on yachts. It's, it does not have to be that. It could be how you made your first sale, okay? It can be how you learned a new skill of building funnels for people online. It can be whatever you want. How you started generating a list of customers to reach out to, you know, for affiliate marketing or whatever. Whatever is a win to you. That's what we want to hear about. We want to hear about your success story. We want to hear about the things that you are so proud of yourself about. So we have this new website where you can send in a two minute video you can record on your phone. You can record it however you want, but send in the two minute video and let us know your story. Let us know how you have found success with clickfunnels in your journey and also talk about the struggles. Everybody's been there. There's ups and downs, there's seasons. It's not all glitz and glam. We know this. Anyone who has gone through it knows there are days where you're like, this is not going to work. I'm going to quit. This is just the end of it. And then they find the community, they find the support. Maybe it's through your video that you're going to post. You know, they find the community, they find the support to move forward. And that's what we want. We want to know how you've been successful with clickfunnels. Whether it's through the education, the community, you know, just using funnels and the ease of how you increase revenue through your customers by having an upsell or a downsell or, or just nurturing them through an email sequence. Whatever it is, we want to know your story. So please click on that link and share with us your story. We are really looking forward to community driven content. And that's you guys, right? That's everyone on this call. You guys are here for a reason. Everyone wants to be successful. Everyone wants to help everyone else be successful. And that's what we're doing here. So we appreciate all you and we just want to hear from you. We want to hear your story. Okay, this is going quick. All right. CF Connect. I don't know who, who's running a CF Connect event in the near future. I'm doing one. I'm going to do one in Montreal in December. If you're around Canada, if you're on Montreal, make your way in, it's going to be great. We did one a couple months ago and people loved it. We're running it back and we're going to have. I'm going to try to get Winter Jones out here. If you have questions about Barnum, maybe he can do something special with us. But the Connect events are going great. We hear some really, really good feedback and really positive stories around these events and it's just like growing the community, right? If you have questions, if you have people that you want to connect with and maybe there's a collab that you guys can do. You never know who you're going to meet at these events. Trust me. My last couple weeks I have been traveling and I have been out at different events and conferences and socials and have just been meeting everybody. And it's awesome. I. It's funny because when I tell my wife I think I'm an introvert, she's like, no, you're not. You. You can. You get energy from just talking to people and you get re energized when you start talking to people. And she's right. When I was at these events, I loved going up to anybody introducing myself, hearing about them, hearing. And we didn't even talk business. We didn't talk about what they're selling, what they're doing. I just wanted to learn about them. And then naturally it came out what, what they're doing, what they're either promoting or what they're trying to learn or what they're offering their customers. So I would highly suggest either go to a connect event that's near you. If there is no connect event near you, start one. It can be three people, it can be four. It could be you and one other person. It doesn't matter how big it is. It's really just starting to exercise that muscle of getting out there from behind your computer, because there's only so much you can do by yourself, right? There's only so much you can do behind the screen. Once you start getting out there, once you start meeting people in person and start really talking to them about what they're looking for, what they're doing, what their struggles are, what their success is, maybe you find a mentor, maybe you find someone who you can mentor. It's really such a positive. It's always been a positive experience going out and meeting people in person. So I would highly, highly suggest it. Go to clickfunnelsconnect.com and submit your Connect event. I look through all them now, and I will be happy to discuss how to put it forward and how to get it approved. But if there's not one in your area, please go ahead and make one. They're so awesome. Speaking of Connect events, we were just at the biggest Connect event that has ever been put on for Clickfunnels, and that was the one in Vegas. And I have to say, it was incredible. It was so much fun. Big shout out to Elisa and Shanna for putting that on. They did an incredible job. They got an incredible lineup of speakers. I mean, there was Sean Osborne, Paul Counts, Danny spoke, Andrew Culver, our president, was there, and he spoke. Pedro Deo spoke, McCall Jones. It was just insane. I mean, I don't know. I spoke at that. Kidnapped. I'm like, what am I doing up here? Like, I'm opening for Pedro. Like, this doesn't make any sense. So you never know what's going to happen in these events. But it was so much fun. And the connections we made and the people we met, um, it. It was just great. So we're really looking forward to the next big one. Um, if you want support, please reach out. And I'm again happy to help you put these forward and move Connect events in your area. And. Yeah, but that one in Vegas was. It was something special. It was a lot of fun. And I know they were. The organizers were beaten down at the end. I'm like, all right, well, when's the next one? And they looked at me like I was crazy. They looked at me and they're like, rob, I mean, did you see what happened here? Like, it was awesome. It was. But it's a lot of work, like, doing one at that scale. That Was a lot, a lot of work. So very much hats off to them and I am here to support them for their next one. If you want to run a big one in your town, then let's talk and let's see how we can support you. But it was so much fun and just the connections we made. Again, just getting out in person and talking to people was so, so valuable. I would, I highly, highly recommend it. Even if it's not a ClickFunnels event. Even if it's not a ClickFunnels Connect event. I was at a Flippa, if anyone knows, doesn't know what Flippa is. Flippa is a website where you can buy and sell other websites or services or businesses, really. I went to one of their events, I don't know how I got on an email thread about, you know, something they're putting on in Montreal. They had an event and I met some incredible people there and we started to. And everyone I asked, you know, everyone I met, I'm like, are you promoting with a marketing funnel? And for some people, they didn't know what a marketing funnel was. It was just really fun educating them, what that was. And some people, some people said, yeah, and we're actually using click funnels. I still keep in touch with those people today. It's really incredible. So I highly suggest go to events, go meet people, go talk to people. You never know who you're going to meet and where you're going to end up. So just. Yeah, that's my advice on that. Okay, now, in regard to these, the Feature Fridays, maybe you've noticed I haven't spoken much about features and that's intentional. A lot of the work we're doing at ClickFunnels now is. And you might have noticed this, but your page speeds are probably insanely fast. Now. We have been working on the backend on some kind of like house cleaning improvements. Some things that you might not see on your end of things in the browser, in the Builder on the web editor. But what we're doing on the backend is making sure domains connect easier. We're making sure pages load faster. We're making sure that events sent to Facebook, if you have a conversion API plugged into your workspace, fire more efficiently. We've been making tweaks to the back end of ClickFunnels to make sure that everything you're doing is firing and launching as fast as it can be. In lieu of that, we are going to. It's going to be the end of future Fridays. That's the big announcement. This is it. This is the last one. This is the last Feature Fridays that we're going to have. And what we're going to do is we are going to transition away from Feature Fridays. There's still a call on Fridays. There's Funnel Drop Fridays. If you haven't joined Funnel Drop Fridays, I highly suggest it. I just watched one with Ben Moot and Winter where they went through Barnum and it's crazy. It is wild what Barnum could do. I highly suggest watching it. If you haven't watched it, you can go into our Clickfunnels community and find the video. But go watch that training on Barnum. I bet that you don't know 20 of the things that it can do, because I didn't. I was. It was great. Cause I was talking to Ben Moot and every message were just like, mind blown, mind blown, mind blown. I didn't know that Burnham did it. It's just like people come to clickfunnels, they're like, oh, I didn't know Clickfunnels does that. I didn't know Barnum did that. Go look at what it could do. It is incredible. It's so cool. I highly suggest finding that video in our community and seeing what Barnum could do, because I'm sure there's something on there that will help you. I use it all the time now from some of the tools that I've learned about. And it's just so easy again, just to bring it back. This is the end a future Fridays. There's still content on Fridays, Funnel Drop Fridays. But what we're going to do is we're going to. We're going to transition this call. Okay? This call is going to be transitioned over to Wednesdays and it is going to be a coaching corner. Okay. There's a lot of people who join Click Funnels who have questions of how to get started. I don't know if my offer is good. I don't know how to price things. I don't know what to upsell down, sell. I don't know how to run my business. I. How do I connect a domain? How do I. Like, there's so many questions that we field all the time. And I started thinking, everybody should know the answers to these. I get on calls with people for half hour, 45 minutes, however long they need usually. And I. And I'm thinking, okay, I just helped one person. But everybody knows to scale, you have. You can't be one to one. You have to go one to many. So we're going to start curating some of the things that we do on coaching calls and we're going to bring them to everybody. So we're going to start coaching corner on Wednesdays. And I don't want this only to be content that we're delivering to you. I want it to be just like I've been pitching before, that we do community driven development. I want this to be community driven content. So what my ask is for anybody watching this, anybody who's watching live or the replay, I want you to send an email to outreachlickfunnels.com and tell me what you want to know about ClickFunnels. Tell me where you've been struggling. Tell me what, tell me what you need help with. Tell me what if it's based, if you don't know what to add to your offer, if you don't know how you know you're trying to sell something with, you know, in E commerce and it's just not working. And you want help, right? Maybe you need help with an email sequence. Maybe you need help just split testing a page in your funnel. Whatever it is, let us know what you need help with and that will be the content for the show. So if you're again, if you're live or if you're watching the replay, send an email to outreachlickfunnels.com and tell us what you want to know more about. Tell us exactly what the content for that show should be. And maybe it's not only something that you've heard that you're struggling with or that you found success with. Maybe it's something that you've heard multiple people have have the need to learn for this one specific thing, right? It doesn't just have to be you. It could be you see a post in the Facebook group and you're like, oh, that's valuable. People should know about that or they should know how to do that, right? So we want this to be community driven content. I don't want it to be. Rob decided to talk about that this week and that doesn't interest me. So I'm gone. I want you to tell me what to talk about. That's what I want. Okay. I am here to serve the community. I'm here to make sure everybody in the community feels supported. And that's what this show is going to be about. So it'll be on Wednesdays. The timing of it, I forgot what it's going to be. It's either going to be 4:30 Eastern or 2:30 Eastern, but it'll be Wednesdays starting. It'll either start next week or the week after. Watch out in the Facebook group for information on that. And it's going to be great. I'm really excited about it. We have some new coaches who I'm going to bring along with me. Again, everybody knows that we do strategic calls and coaching calls for the people that need, and people have been loving them. People just, like, they just enjoy that they're talking to someone behind the software. They're talking. I was on a call with someone from Australia yesterday. I was actually in my car, like, fully remote, because I had to take my daughter to a tutoring lesson. And it was like, one in the morning for them, nine in the morning for me. And he was like, man, Rob, I just have to tell you, like, I'm so happy talking to a human. Like, I'm so happy talking to someone who can support me, right? They've been to the Facebook group. They've been to the community, but some people just really need to get on the phone with somebody. So I want this to be kind of the first touch point of that outlet where you're seeing a human who reads your messages, who knows the struggles that you're going through, and then comes and addresses it. So I'm really excited about this idea and the show moving forward. So, again, I want it to be driven by your suggestions and your content. So please let me know what, you know, what you guys want to hear about, and we'll do it. Maybe it's an integration to another service. Maybe it's how do I sell, you know, fully, whatever it is. And I'm just excited to be out there and helping people. So we're really, really, really excited about that. Okay, well, it is Friday, and I do have something else I need to get to. Man, I appreciate all of you for the ones here live. Thank you so much for joining. I have heard that people do join the lives, so I really, really appreciate it. In Vegas, I know some people came up to me, and they're kind of, like, starstruck, and that's never happened to me before. So, like, whoa, Rob. And I'm like, yeah. But, hey, that was a lot of fun. But thank you so much for showing up. Thank you so much for, you know, just being here, being a part of the community and supporting everybody around you. I know we all want everybody to be successful. It's. It's just such a nice, friendly, welcoming, supportive community. And it's. You don't get this in a lot of places. You really really don't. And it's all because of you guys. It's because of you who are on the lives, who are watching the replays, who join the Facebook group or in the Facebook or in the ClickFunnels community, wherever you're supporting us, it's really because of you. So thank you so much for lifting up the people around you, lifting up us. And we are here to support you. So enjoy your weekend, Happy Friday, and let's go.
