The Booked-Call Funnel1 / 15PDF

For agency owners

A funnel that puts booked calls on your calendar.

We find the offer and the buyer, then build the ads, a faceless VSL, the page, the quiz and the booking. You take the calls.

Why this matters

A lead is a name. A booked call is a meeting.

Most agencies pay for leads and then chase them. This funnel skips the chase. The prospect watches the pitch, answers a few questions and picks a time.

Buying leads

  • B2B advertisers pay about $145 for one lead on Facebook
  • Someone still has to call, text and chase it
  • Many never pick up the phone
  • Appointment setters charge $350 to $700 a meeting

This funnel

  • A booked call on the calendar, not a name in a list
  • $61 a booked call across our trade funnels
  • The prospect has already seen the pitch on video
  • Bad fits get screened out before they book

$61 per booked call: $5,804.20 spend / 95 booked on the trade-vertical funnels

What gets built

Eight pieces. One job: a qualified call.

Every piece is built for the same moment, the buyer picking a time on the calendar.

  1. 01OfferWe shape what they sell into something a stranger says yes to fast.
  2. 02AvatarWe research who buys, what they want, and the words they use for it.
  3. 03Ads + creativeStatic and video ads written to that avatar, ready to launch.
  4. 04TargetingBroad audiences, and the ad account trained on booked calls, not clicks.
  5. 05Faceless VSLA video sales letter, scripted and voiced. Nobody gets filmed.
  6. 06Landing pageOne page, one argument, built around the video.
  7. 07QuizA few taps that screen out the wrong people before they book.
  8. 08Direct bookingThe quiz ends on the calendar. No form, no wait for a callback.

Five weeks of results

We run this funnel on our own money first.

These come from our own live funnels, the same build in more than twenty markets. Every booked call below is a real appointment in the CRM, not a pixel event.

How fast calls start

The calendar starts filling in days, not months.

Measured from the start of each funnel's first day of ad spend to the first real booking in the CRM.

Do they show up?

The people who book show up and talk.

We only count a show when the call recording proves a real two-way conversation. A calendar status or a recording file alone doesn't count.

Faceless VSL

The video that sells before the call.

Scripted on proven sales structures, voiced and edited for them. The prospect shows up already knowing the offer.

Example landing pages

One page. One video. One next step.

Switch between phone and desktop. Most of the traffic is on a phone, so that's the version we design first.

Agency owners on a phone

The page selling to agency owners. VSL up top, proof, then the quiz.

Quiz and direct booking

A few taps, then they pick a time.

The quiz asks what a closer would ask in the first ten minutes. The wrong people get a polite exit. The right ones land on the calendar.

No form to fill and no wait for a callback. The booking happens while they still want it.

How it starts

From yes to live in days, not months.

  1. A call to pin down the offer and who it's for.
  2. We research the buyer and write everything to them.
  3. We build the ads, the VSL, the page, the quiz and the booking.
  4. It goes live on their ad account and the calls start landing.
