Funnel Strategy Template

From Contact Form to Conversion Machine

Your step-by-step blueprint for building a funnel that converts on autopilot.

By Naty & Todd Ross · Hub365.AI

- Naty Ross, Founder, Hub365.AI You just took the first step most business owners never take. You stopped hoping your contact form would magically start working and decided to build a real system. That's exactly what this template is for.
Before you start

How to use this template

This isn't a "read and feel inspired" PDF. This is a working document. Grab a pen (or open a Google Doc) and fill in every section. By the time you're done, you'll have a complete funnel strategy mapped out and ready to build.

⏱ Time to complete: 30–45 minutes
🎯 What you'll have when you're done: A fully mapped lead generation funnel, from lead magnet idea to email sequence, ready to implement.


Part 1

Your Lead Magnet blueprint

1

Identify your customer's #1 question

Open your phone. Look at your last 10 customer messages, DMs, or emails. What's the ONE question that keeps coming up?

My customers keep asking:

The specific problem behind that question is:

Todd's tip "If you can't find the question in your messages, check your Google reviews. The complaints are the questions nobody asked out loud."
2

Choose your lead magnet format

Pick ONE. Don't overthink this. The fastest to create wins.

Write your lead magnet title

Use this formula:

[Number] + [Type] + to + [Specific Result]

Examples:

  • "The 5-Point Checklist to Double Your Leads in 30 Days"
  • "The 3-Step Audit to Find Your Marketing Leaks"
  • "The 7-Day Email Sequence That Closes Clients on Autopilot"

My lead magnet title:

4

Outline the content (keep it short)

Your lead magnet should be consumable in under 10 minutes. List 3–7 key points.

Naty's rule "If your lead magnet is longer than 2 pages, you're writing a book, not building a funnel. Cut it in half."

Part 2

Your Landing Page blueprint

The only 5 elements your page needs

1. Headline

Your lead magnet title, benefit-focused.

2. Subheadline

Who it's for + what they'll get.

3. Three bullet points

What's inside: benefits, not features.

4. The form

Two fields only: First Name and Email Address.

Every extra field drops conversion by 10–25%.

5. The button

Action-oriented, first person.

Examples: "Get My Free Checklist" / "Send Me the Template" / "Download My Audit"

What NOT to include on your landing page

  • Navigation menu
  • Links to other pages
  • Your company history
  • Multiple CTAs
  • Social media icons
  • Anything that lets them leave without converting
Todd's take "Your landing page has one job. ONE. If someone can do anything other than enter their email or leave, you've given them too many options. I've seen business owners add their Instagram link to the landing page. That's like putting an exit sign on a sales pitch."

Part 3

Your Thank-You Page strategy

Most people waste the thank-you page. Don't be most people.

After they opt in, show them:

ElementYour Plan
Confirmation message"Your [lead magnet] is on its way to your inbox!"
Next step CTA Book a call   Watch a video   Join a workshop
Next step URL
Social proof Testimonial   Client count   Case study snippet
Naty's perspective "The thank-you page is the most underused page in marketing. They just said yes to you. Their trust is at its peak. That's NOT the moment to say 'check your email.' That's the moment to say 'here's the next step.'"

Part 4

Your 7-day follow-up sequence

This is where 80% of the conversion happens. Map out your sequence:

DayPurposeSubject Line Idea
0Deliver lead magnet + welcome"Your [Lead Magnet] is here"
1Quick win from the lead magnet"If you only do ONE thing..."
2Share a relevant tip or stat"[Industry] owners miss this"
3Case study or proof"How [client type] got [result]"
4Address #1 objection"The real cost of waiting"
5Direct offer"Let's build yours together"
7Last chance / soft close"Last thing, then I'll stop"

SMS layer (optional but powerful)

Email open rates: 20–25%
SMS open rates: 98%

DaySMS Message
0"Hey [Name]! Your [lead magnet] just landed in your inbox. Check it out. Naty from Hub365"
2"Quick tip from the template: [one-liner]. Full breakdown in your email."
6"Still thinking about building your funnel? Let's talk. No pitch, just strategy: [booking link]"

Part 5

Your CRM pipeline setup

Every lead needs to be tracked. Set up these pipeline stages:

StageDefinitionAutomation Trigger
1. New LeadJust opted inForm submission
2. EngagedOpened email 1 + 2Email open tracking
3. InterestedClicked a link in emailsLink click tracking
4. WarmOpened 3+ emails or repliedEngagement score
5. QualifiedBooked a call or replied to offerCalendar booking / reply
6. ClientConvertedManual move or payment trigger
Todd's technical note "If your CRM, email, landing page, and pipeline are on different platforms connected by n8n, Make, or Zapier, every connection is a point of failure. Webhooks break. Tokens expire. That's a house of cards, not a system. At Hub365, all of this runs inside one platform. Zero middleware. Zero 'it broke again.'"

Part 6

Your Funnel Scorecard

Before you build, grade your current setup. Be honest.

QuestionYesNo
Do you have a lead magnet with a dedicated landing page?
Does your landing page have a single CTA with no distractions?
When someone opts in, do they automatically enter your CRM?
Does an automated follow-up fire within 60 seconds?
Can you track which lead magnet and source each lead came from?
Have you tested your funnel yourself in the last 30 days?

Your score: _____ / 6

0–1: Your website is a digital brochure. Time to build.
2–3: You've got pieces but no system. Time to connect them.
4–5: You're close. The gaps are costing you real money.
6/6: You're ahead of 95% of small businesses. Now optimize.

Naty's final word "You know what separates the business owners who grow from the ones who stay stuck? The ones who grow fill out the template. The ones who stay stuck bookmark it. Be the first kind."
Todd's final word "I built systems for 4,000+ entrepreneurs alongside Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi. The ones who won didn't have better ideas. They had better implementation. This template is your implementation. Go build."
