Where is Clickfunnels 2.0 Taking Us?
If you haven’t heard, Clickfunnels 2.0 is coming out in 2022 and it is rumoured to be another game changer. With Clickfunnels 2.0, you can do more than just build and deploy amazing sales funnels, or follow up funnels, you can now build your entire website and drumroll……. your entire business with it! I think this is a great move for Clickfunnels, as I think that one of the big hang-ups with the platform, has been the confusion around having a sales funnel versus a website. I have always believed, you need a hybrid approach, whereby your website is your home base hub and you channel traffic through calls to action, over into your sales funnels. Clickfunnels 2.0 addresses that and much more. It promises to have an improved page builder, which is saying a lot, considering the current Clickfunnels page builder is very powerful. In Clickfunnels 2.0, you can also build out complete automation sequences visually, something that I think will open the eyes for many people who might not be able to visualize what is happening with the current funnel steps approach.
Clickfunnels 2.0 also boasts a new CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platform built inside the system. I am happy to see this as it demonstrates that Clickfunnels is keeping the customer as a central focus, which should be a strong benefit to anyone who is running a business. In Clickfunnels 1.0, they created this amazing functionality whereby you could share a complete funnel and bring it into another account. This saved its users countless hours by getting them immediately close to a finished sales funnel that they only had to customize to suit their business to make it their own.
With Clickfunnels 2.0 you can aparently use this same functionality to share and replicate a complete businesss system setup. I see a great amount of potential for this to not only grow the Clickfunnels community, but to empower and drive small business growth at a time where so many are needing it. Clickfunnels 2.0 should be another game changer for any business. But I am the most excited about what this means for creatives.

How Does Clickfunnels Work?
What makes Clickfunnels so unique is its simplicity and ease of use. I have used a lot of software packages over the years and one thing I really like about using Clickfunnels is how they have provided what you need to build and grow your business. How Does Clickfunnels Work? This is a great question that is top of mind and a very popular search on Google. I think there is some confusion over what Clickfunnels is doing as I always see comparisons to other tools that simply do not operate the same way Clickfunnels does. It is very hard to compare to other tools on the market because of how Clickfunnels as a company operates. Think beyond the Clickfunnels software.
Yes, with Clickfunnels, you build individual landing pages that you can easily A/B split test at that funnel step. Yes, each landing page is part of the complete sales funnel. Yes, you can build simple opt-in pages and squeeze pages. Yes you can integrate with Zapier or adding a shopping cart. But these are all table stakes with any marketing automation system on the market. There are several things that make Clickfunnels unique to other platforms. You need to understand what makes Clickfunnels unique in order to fully understand how it works.
Number one thing that makes Clickfunnels unique to any other platform is Russel Brunson, Todd Dickerson, Dave Woodward and the entire Clickfunnels team, they are awesome. How do I know how awesome Clickfunnels truly is? When I am was at FHL 2020 (Funnel Hacking Live) in Nashville, I had the chance to experience and take part in the Clickfunnels community and dive deep into countless conversations with amazing people and employees at Clickfunnels who are just so down to earth. I am part of a very unique community, we call ourselves Funnel Hackers. Looking around FHL, everyone is proudly wearing Clickfunnels swag, expressing their desire and passion to be part of such a special group of like minded, forward thinking, game changing people. Russell has built a very strong community of successful business owners who are there to help each other grow their businesses. I met countless down to earth, ambitious, caring people from all walks of life and all with unique businesses who are crushing it using Clickfunnels. This is not happening just because Clickfunnels is this amazing software, which it is, but it is happening because of all of the other more important things that have been developed around the software, the community, the culture, the business frameworks and the training resources. Oh my gosh, the training resources are so awesome. Funnel Flix that is included with Clickfunnels Platinum level contains tens of thousands of dollars in training materials that make the cost of the software irrelevant. The training available inside of Funnel Flix is worth the price of the software, without hesitation. Even if you are using other Marketing Automation platforms, or if you are working for a large enterprise business and are tied into other larger systems like Marketo or Tableau etc, buying access to Funnel Flix will help you to gain an upper hand on your competition.
Clickfunnels is built from the ground up on the back of sales and marketing processes and frameworks that use tested and proven methods to convert visitors into paying customers. These frameworks on which Clickfunnels is built are outlined in DotCom Secrets and Expert Secrets books by Russel Brunson.
You see, what makes Clickfunnels work are the frameworks on which the system was built. Once you understand how these frameworks are designed to provide value to your customers, you can easily craft the right sales funnel inside Clickfunnels that just works for your business.
