Virtual Summits as a Full Funnel
Someone once asked me, “Where does the virtual summit even fit into your funnel?” My answer was: it is your funnel!
The simplest explanation of a funnel is a website where there’s a singular goal; to buy an offer or sign up for something.
Virtual Summit vs. Website Funnels
Think of a funnel like an open house. There's food, music, and it’s welcoming and inviting. You either come in through the door to find out what’s inside or you don’t go in at all.
On the other hand, a regular website has a million options. There are pages about the company, their services, a blog page, and more.
While you build a website to give people options, you build a funnel to direct them to do one thing and you’re going to do everything you can to convince them to walk through that door.
A virtual summit is like that. At first, you convince them to sign up for the summit. You tell them about the transformation you can offer and how all the speakers are there to solve their problem. You just want them to join. Maybe they pick up an all-access pass as well, but the singular goal, in the beginning, is to get them into the summit.
Effectiveness of a Virtual Summit as a Funnel
While a summit can make money right away, focus on the next step on your value ladder and how the attendees can work with you after the summit.
A summit should be part of your value ladder to get people introduced to you and your company. It's more powerful than a freebie that someone will grab and then unsubscribe from. Instead, a summit quickly shows you as the authority, displays your values, and builds the know-like-trust factor.
The Key to a Summit That Works
If you want your summit to work, look at your overall strategy and how you’re going to tailor it to meet your goals. A summit can be one of many things but it’s only going to serve you and feel successful if it meets the goals and objectives that you hope for.
Examples of goals you set for your summit could be:
- Email list growth
- Visibility
- Increased profits
- Adding members to your membership, course, or coaching program
It’s important to have a clear idea of what you want your summit to accomplish. Success to you might not be success to someone else, so set your own individual goals and be specific with them.
