ClickFunnels Lied and I Lost

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use ClickFunnels for email sequencing automation, however, it does not address or solve my problems, in fact it has created a huge problem for me because they advertised that ClickFunnels could replace huge email marketing platforms like Keap and HubSpot but their software doesn't have a basic feature like uploading a list of contacts. This is basic for any CRM software, and I would think for a marketing platform like click funnels I've got no idea why that is not an active feature yet. It has caused me a lot of headaches to say the least.

Pros

  • Lie
  • Falsely Advertise
  • Not Offer Refunds when they should

Cons

  • Uploading Contacts - basic CRM feature
  • Not Falsely advertise things

Return on Investment

  • I lost $460 because the software wouldn't allow me to upload my contacts and reach out to them
  • I lost about 3 weeks of time preparing my funnels because at the end I was not able to upload my contacts

Simple non-techy sales funnel builder

Pros

  • Webpage builder is simple to use
  • Allows for sale funnels setup in straightforward way
  • Provides a lot of marketing related educational content
  • Makes integrations with common digital marketing platforms

Cons

  • Email marketing is not available in all plans and where available, its clunky to use
  • Certain element formatting options aren't available via user interface
  • Be nice to have ability to have multiple opt-in forms in one page like a website

Return on Investment

  • Introduced me to digital marketing concepts
  • Easy to setup an opt-in page and form
  • Saved me time managing the back office of website builders like WordPress

ClickFunnels Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Clickfunnels to create multi-step marketing funnels for myself and clients. Its sequencing of funnel pages is much easier than creating similar funnels from scratch.

Pros

  • Duplicating funnel sites
  • Sharing of funnels
  • A/B testing of landing pages

Cons

  • Sometimes it can be a bit slow
  • More advanced email integration with the basic plan would be good, rather than needing to spend 3x the amount to get email
  • It sometimes glitches when saving changes.

Return on Investment

  • It has saved me significant amounts of time being able to re-use previously created funnels
  • The funnels I've built with Clickfunnels have made me significantly more than what I pay for it (when combined with paid traffic)
  • I've been able to earn revenue from teaching others how to use it

Alternatives Considered

WordPress

Other Software Used

ClickUp, Google Analytics, Google Sheets
