Funnel-maker with the best value?

by Brian Cart
8 replies
Hello, I've researched several different funnel-makers. I want one that includes upsell/downsell and sales pages, but I'm not interested in webinar or membership features.

"Click Funnels" looks brilliant, but at $97/month it's pricey and I won't use half the features - although they host and can act as an autoresponder, so that's some savings.

"1 Minute Sites" looks easy to use and it's only $39/month, but as far as I could tell you cannot create a funnel with lots of "moving parts" like upsell/downsell and sales pages.

"Profit Builder" looks easily like the best value - $67 one-time payment and you can create any type of funnel pages. Although a red flag appears to me: Why just $67 once when competitors are charging monthly? Usually products of basically the same quality sell for about the same price.

I'm sure there are other good funnel-makers out there that I didn't come across. I appreciate any recommendations and/or comments.

    I've never been a big fan of "off-site" builders. If the service goes away, then you're kinda screwed. I use FunnelKit, which is a WP plugin. It's only $17, builds great squeezes, and allows you to download the entire HTML if you needed to.

    I use Squeezematic for building my funnels. Its like a blank canvas you can plot anything as per your creativity. You can make any number of upsells/downsells, you just have to put a link at the end of your sales page or anywhere else, to a different sales page. It has many inbuilt templates too which you can edit as per your requirements. Hope that helps

      CloudNet360 is worth a look. More known formerly as Premium Web Cart, it's evolved way past just being a cart so they had to change the name. It has pre-designed or customizable squeeze pages so I don't need LeadPages anymore. Has the cart of course, CRM and auto-responders, so I don't need Infusionsoft anymore. Has the built-in email component so I don't need MailChimp or Constant Contact or whatever. And, they just launched a formal upsell/downsell manager a few months ago that pulls it all together. It even has a website builder. One integrated tool for as little as $79/mo. Let me know if you sign-up for their 30-day trial and I can get my getting started doc to you that I provide to clients.

        Just cancelled my PWC 30 day trial after 7 days. While you can not help but be impressed with all the things they say they can do, get into specifics and you will quickly find there are so many things they can not do. For example, my preference on an opt-in page is something very simple. Give me your name and I will give you what I promised. Can't do that in PWC. Then I wanted to upsell then from the free thing to a simple tripwire offer ($17), but I wanted to have a video (which is already converting on LeadPages). The promise of being able to do it all under one roof is seductive...they can not deliver on that, and goodness help you if you are assigned to Gary Jay. He is not only incompetant but will not return your inquiries at all. Their marketing material is sexy...their delivery is not to standard

      Y'know, I really don't care what 'system' you use to make sales on the web as I've used over 30 cart systems myself. But to start a new account on warrior forum just to attempt to badmouth a software package is really a low blow. Sounds to me like you might be associated with LeadPages somehow which is fine, but you really should just come clean and state it if you want to sound more authoritative.

      For example, you said
      Give me your name and I will give you what I promised.
      Why would you ever want to do that? Of COURSE you have to get someone's email with an opt-in. That's the main core record that every system works off of. If you want that, then build yourself a custom form. But, that's no reason to thrash a system because the whole CRM is based on an unique email record that must be submitted for action to occur.

      From a web marketing standpoint, you gain nothing by just collecting someone's name. Collecting just their email address, sure, in fact that's the recommended way to assure the most opt-ins now. And that's standard with any system out there that I'm aware of.

      As for
      upsell then from the free thing to a simple tripwire offer ($17), but I wanted to have a video
      Yeah, what's the big deal? Every system, even 1SC, can do that too...including CloudNet360. This is a very basic setup that I (and any certified support partner) could do for you in 20 minutes...yes, even with CloudNet360. Be careful to claim something cannot be done until you've exhausted all possibilities that possibly can be done.

      This one really got me
      goodness help you if you are assigned to Gary Jay
      I know Gary personally. He is the senior product specialist. He is not support and is not "the training department" but he does poke his head in to those areas when support helpers are out sick. He works with managing the programmers to add new functionality to the system and he's the guy I personally go to when I need to make a suggestion for a new feature.

      How many features have YOU personally gotten added to Infusionsoft or LeadPages or Salesforce, or WooCommerce by talking directly to the programming staff?

      Just sayin' CloudNet360 is a product made for us who are serious about making sales online.

      Plus, I'll also add that if you got Gary on the phone working on your account, you should have recorded the conversation. He would have given you at least 10 suggestions you would have never thought of trying with other systems that would help you make more sales.

      I really don't typically go on and on like this about a product. It just drives me crazy when product bashers don't know what they're talking about and try to influence people in a negative direction. Good people miss out on opportunities with good systems because of it and I think it just sucks. That's all from me.
