How to create a sales funnel? Video

Sales funnel focuses on the process of collecting leads and finalizing the sales process. It is useful if your aim is to:

find potential buyers,
promote and sell products online,
increase sales results.

To start creating your funnel go to Conversion funnel > Create funnel.

Now, you can start setting your funnel up:

Type in the name of your funnel and GetResponse will automatically create a new list for that. The name should have at least 4 characters.

Choose Sell a product type of funnel and click on Create funnel.
Choose either full or quick type of funnel:

Full sales funnel: choose this option if you want to get new contacts and send them emails until they buy.
Quick sales funnel: choose this option if you want to take people straight to your sales page.

After you select the type of funnel, you will get to the funnel settings page. There you can create a store or connect to an existing one.

Connecting to a store

Existing store
You can choose an existing store (if you had one created with API or in another Conversion funnel). All existing stores will be visible on the dropdown list.

New store
If you do not have a store yet, no problem, you can create it. To do so:

Click on Create another store and you will be able to create the store from there.
Now click on Create a GetResponse store.
Type the name of your store, choose the currency and click on Create.

One store can have only one currency. If you would like the store to have several currencies, create separate stores for each currency.

Connecting to a store
You can also choose to connect to an existing store.

To do that, click on Connect an existing store
Click on one of the platforms and you will be able to import products from there:

– XML,
– Stripe (we only import products which have a name set up. The type of products we import is “good”, products such as “services” (subscriptions and plans) are not added),
– Etsy (we only import products which have a name set up and the products have to be set to “active”),
– Magento (we only import products which have a name set up. For Magento 1.9 – the status of the product has to be “enabled.” For Magento 2.0 – we don’t import “bundle” and “grouped” products),
– Shopify (we only import products which have a name set up and have the status “published”).
