Ease of use for those with no experience in web design!
It is a little pricey, especially when using any of the add-ons
Great for lead generation!
It's really simple to use, the results are extremely professional, and honestly, you save LOTS of time. I'm a software developer and honestly, I stopped writting code for my funnels, ClickFunnels has given me so much free time and freedom I didn't knew I was loosing by coding. I can now focus on what matters.
The payment integrations don't work as expected some times if you use payment plans on PayPal next to a one payment option. the issue is persistant and I honestly don't know why they aren't solving it.
I just have a very fast way to make funnels in a matter of hours instead of developing them myself over weeks of hard work. The tracking solutions come really handy and A/B testing is just a piece of cake.
Clickfunnels is so easy to use its crazy. I figured we would get junk pages, but they have been working very well with our marketing thusfar. The main thing i love is how easy it is to duplicate past works and make our lives so much easier in the long run. Clickfunnels has definitely made things easier on our clients as well and helped us lower the cost of web development
Clickfunnels has some limited functionality. I wish they had a open API for sure the I could integrate our custom CRM into the mix. I also can't STAND THAT AFTER WE PITCH THIS TO OUR CLIENT CLICKFUNNELS DECIDES TO CHANGES THEIR RECURRING AFFILIATE COMMISSIONS FROM 40% of lifetime to 5% recurring! BAD MOVE I HAVE NO MOTIVATION TO SELL.
We are lowering the cost of our internal web development as well as for our clients
The one funnel away challenge was awesome. I had very little time because i run a full time construction business on the side but, still managed to get it done and feel pumped. Steven, you the best man, I dont think this challenge would have been the same without you. I was always looking forward to your videos. Hands down amazing. It is alot of work but its worth it. You have to grind to shine.
There is nothing to dislike about this especially for the value in return
I have had help everytime i asked for
I like that I can build out my landing pages and have all the leads come right into the same system. I then send out my emails from the same platform as well. It is an all in one solution that integrates with so many other systems. I personally use Clickfunnels for my payment processing for my courses, housing and delivering my content, and all the items listed above.
It is kind of expensive for someone that isn't using all the features. Over time you will see how many other systems you can replace and then the cost doesn't seem as high
I use ClickFunnels for landing pages, opt in pages, email auto responders, email blasts to contacts, housing my online courses, processing the payments for my online courses, and I have encouraged many of my clients to use it as an all in one solution as well.
Straight-Up training! There is absolutely nothing held back. Proven models are provided and it is completely up to us to follow. And the support - it simply does not stop (such a great thing to have). Each day is designed to build on the previous and that in itself is setting us up for absolute success! I salute the entire CF & OFA Teams = an invaluable community and I am proud to be a member! BOOM! The family atmosphere in the community is unlike anything that I have experienced. Everything from advice to ideas, from suggestions to connections, CF has mastered not only the networking but also lifelong friends. {{BTW: I was "this" close to requesting a 'hold' on my CF account. I've had it for over a year and had not been successful in creating nor in implementing - until now}}.
Nothing regarding the program or the challenge. Personally, the only 'thing' that I am getting lost on is in the threads for the group. Don't get me wrong, the threads are SO engaging and SO many, that I am the one getting lost in them. And that is a great 'dislike' to have, agree? Within the OFA portal - I do wish that we'd have a 'forever' access.
The getting started problem. The procrastination problem. ClickFunnels and this OFA challenge is not allowing me to have these problems any longer ... I have to stay on-task, on-schedule ... no other options ;-)
How easy it is to use for a non technical person
Nothing right now. Maybe creating graphic manipulations within the software.
Obtaining leads and selling product have never been this easy.
Its an easy what you see is what you get funnel builder
website is sometimes slow to load changes.
Building landing pages to prospective clients to funnels in to a CRM
One Funnel Away created by the Clickfunnels genius team is FREAKING AWESOME - That's over the top but so is Russell Brunson and Stephen Larsen. My body trembles at the amazing over abundance of training and content they are providing us, I'm shaking because I'm so going to have to up-level my giving game in a massive way to even match 1/16 of what these guys give for - Wait for it -------.....----- $100.00 That's right, not $10,000.00 which is what it's worth, not $1000.00 which would be a ridiculous bargain, but for the cost of 5 movies at Cinemark with the small popcorn and water. That's it - $100.00 and 5 movies and popcorn with water is only going to make you bloated and you'll forget most of what you saw. NOT One Funnel Away - You will thank me if you read this, so what are you waiting for - just go give them your money and be prepared to 10x your life. Thank you Russell , Thank you Stephen #DesignDoesNotSell .
That I'm sleeping less because I'm having so much fun using this platform to build my business. Is that a problem? Soon I may sleep more. maybe not. catch up a year from now.
Creating High Converting offers in the Network Marketing, Affiliate, Real Estate, Personal Chef.... industries among others.
I'll tell you where, here. Here, at Clickfunnels, you can find the process built step by step for how to help you feel productive while achieving your dream. I am literally watching professionals who are successful (including myself) go obsessive over this software!
I would LOVE you guys to have a Candyland-type pathway for every course you offer; similar to your Funnel Game for Newbies. It would simply top off the most amazing training program for online ANYTHING I've ever seen, to date.
I've been sitting on putting together a Course for how to help serious car sales pros do better and get referrals for over 2 years. I started with JLD of EOF and then went on to Amy Porterfield. Even though both of them are awesome and I intend to join their programs, I need something to get started with first, and then work backwards. This company, Russell and Stephen and team, et al, do this exactly! It struck a chord and I was in all the way since...
I am not a coder. I don't build websites... I can barely move an image on my website without breaking something but with Clickfunnels, I didn't have these problems. It's userfriendly and I was able to build out a funnel in just a few hours.
Do I have to pick something to dislike? I'm overall a huge fan. The only thing that might be a pitfall would be the cost, but honestly, I know the value of it - so I wouldn't complain about it. It's 110% worth it!
Being able to easily upsell individuals with just a click of a button has been one of the biggest benefits. Once you have an offer and upsell that works, you're golden!
I wasn't totally sold on ClickFunnels until I actually started using their product! Their funnel builder is so easy to navigate and set up, they have so many different templates to choose from, and it's got a really intuitive user interface which is always so important to me! Plus, whenever I'm stuck they have a wealth of helpful setup video tutorials on their website or youtube channel to answer any questions I have.
I think the only thing ClickFunnels is missing is an easier way to embed pages without having to use an iFrame. Or an easier way to cloak links. I didn't enjoy embedding their pages or finding workarounds when my client was on Squarespace. Since we switched to WordPress we don't have any issues but I'm sure other Squarespace users would really enjoy being able to more easily embed or cloak their CF pages!
Clickfunnels runs all of our webinar and product funnels. I love their sales tracking, the ease of setup, how easy it is to integrate with our email client and payment processor. We could have built the entire landing page funnel by piecing together different systems but this one stop shop option was perfect.
It's super easy to use and makes really beautiful landing pages, mine convert at 40-70%! But granted, it's also partly that I got the templates from my business mentor that I downloaded and that made it super, super easy to get started and get great results
The price is relatively high for me as I am just starting out, but for people who are already in business and are making money with their products this is the perfect choice
Send my prospects to a high-converting page where 40-70% of them convert into leads via e-mail, also the possibility to use it for membership portals
I LOVE how easy the sales funnel process becomes when using this system. The options are invigorating and can really simplify the process especially when you are just becoming familiar with the process of a sales funnel online.
I do wish there were advertisements to choose from and I would like more customer support. Sometimes the process isn't straight forward when you try doing this on your own. Just speaking with someone who is familiar with the product would shorten the learning curve immensely.
I am solving having to spend weeks of time figuring out how to implement a sales funnel that would work for my business. I also do not have to work as hard looking for leads. This attracts the leads for me whether that is online or locally, they come forward so much easier this way.
The ease of use with building landing pages and funnels with Clickfunnels is unparalleled in the industry.
You have to integrate so many OTHER softwares with clickfunnels to run a fully opporating funnel. IE you need to pair an email provider (active campaign) to the software to have automated emails, you have to pair a sms messaging platform (Twilio) to send text messages, you have to pair a CRM for your contacts.... etc etc etc
They have templates already done within the software to optimize for you I need. HUGE benefit and the CEO Russel Brunson is a marketing mastermind so I trust their product is better than all others because of that reason.
No website needed, no designers needed, no engineers needed... It's all done via YOU and trial/error and they give many tips to create high converting ads/funnels. The best part about it is that you can literally set up a landing page in under 10 minutes, as opposed to the traditional way it can take up to 10 hours sometimes, and you don't even know if it will convert well.
Honestly have not seen anything I do not dislike, it is a bit different not having a website but when everything is through funnels it's a lot cheaper and more effective.
"Website" development, having a website developer and graphic designers create a website can cost thousands of dollars... You can just drag and drop everything to create a sales funnel and landing pages, etc with no designer or web engineers!
It is unbelievably easy to use. The landing page builder and editor are very well done. For someone who isn't technical (I don't know how to edit the CSS) this service allows me to create beautiful landing pages and automations. The templates are good and it's easy to build your own automation as well.
Customer service is good but can take a while sometimes. It appears they are overseas and delays response time to the next day. Not so great if you need help immediately. This seems to be common for SaaS companies like CF but it doesn't mean it's good. I miss the days when you could call a company and talk to someone to resolve the issue.
I'm solving easily creating landing pages and sales automations. I do not have to hire someone to code or integrate my landing pages and integrate them into my email service.
- Fantastic high quality training videos by Russel Branson himself - A variety of funnel templates - Tons of templates for every step you might want to create in your funnel - Every aspect of every template can be customized - Plenty of 3rd party integration - Great marketing automation features built in - Create e-mail follow up campaigns
- Could become a bit pricey if you don't use all the functionality or create enough business to pay for all the extra features - A little harder learning curve - Would be nice to be able to upload and host videos inside if ClickFunnels instead of linking to other hosts (without having to pay extra)
Clickfunnels make it easy to create a step by step flow to take your target market on a journey to become committed customers.
Websites still have their place. However, when running direct response marketing campaigns, driving traffic to a website is often not the best thing to do. On a website people have so many options it's difficult to get them to do the things you want them to do when they land on your site. With Clickfunnels, you can create, control, and nurture a user experience in a direct-response style way. This allows you as the business owner to see a higher ROI. And it allows your client or customer a much more stream-lined experience. Clickfunnels is powerful, and makes it simple and fast to build these customer experiences.
Clickfunnels does not have high quality SEO. So if you are blogging or creating a lot of content, it's best to host that stuff on other platforms. Also, depending on the tier of Clickfunnels you buy, the number of SMTP (send from email addresses) you are allowed is 1 or 3. Since I work with a lot of clients, and do lots of done-for-you work (DFY) this means I can't work for my clients inside my own account. This adds an additional expense, albeit not much, that I have to pitch to clients.
The biggest benefit of Clickfunnels is that there is no knowledge of coding necessary to build completely functional pages. I do not know how to code, but I have to quickly be able to implement ideas for myself and my clients.
Click funnels is the best funnel building software I have ever used. They make it so simple to build out any type of funnel you need to grow your business. It has easily helped us quadruple our business over the past 3 years.
Sometimes there are platform glitches. These are usually fixed within a couple of hours.
if you needed to, you actually could ditch your entire website and build a business just using clickfunnels as your website. We don't do that nor are there any plans to do that, but it's cool to think about all the different things that clickfunnels provides and make that realization.
