Step 2: Design Page Flow

Create a visual funnel diagram documenting:
- Each page in the funnel with its purpose
- Decision points (yes/no branches)
- Email triggers at each stage
- Conversion events to track
- Expected conversion rates at each step

Step 3: Build Each Page

For each page in the funnel, use the landing-page skill's build patterns. Each page must include:

Opt-in / Landing Page

• Headline: Benefit-driven, specific to the entry offer
• Subheadline: Expand with specifics (what they get, how fast, what format)
• Bullet points: 3-5 key benefits of the lead magnet/entry offer
• Hero image: Mockup of the deliverable (ebook cover, dashboard screenshot, etc.)
• Form: Minimum fields (name + email for leads, or payment for tripwire)
• CTA button: Action-oriented ("Get Your Free Guide", "Start Free Trial")
• Social proof: Testimonial, subscriber count, or trust badges
• No navigation: Remove all navigation links to prevent exit

Thank You / Confirmation Page

• Confirmation message: "Check your email" or "Here's your download"
• Delivery mechanism: Direct download link or email delivery notice
• Next step CTA: Introduce the next offer in the funnel (tripwire or webinar)
• Expectation setting: What emails they'll receive and when
• Social sharing: Optional — encourage sharing for viral growth

Upsell Page (if applicable)

• Context: Reference what they just purchased/signed up for
• Complement: Position the upsell as the natural next step
• Special pricing: Time-limited discount (available only now)
• One-click purchase: No re-entering payment details if possible
• Accept / Decline buttons: Clear yes/no with decline as text link
• Countdown timer: If using time-limited pricing

Checkout Page (if applicable)

• Order summary: Clear description of what they're buying
• Price display: Price, any discounts, total clearly shown
• Payment form: Card fields with trust badges
• Guarantee badge: Money-back guarantee prominently displayed
• Testimonial: One strong testimonial near the checkout button
• Security indicators: SSL badge, secure checkout messaging

Final Confirmation Page

• Order details: What they purchased, order number, receipt
• Access instructions: How to access what they bought
• Next steps: Onboarding, getting started, what to expect
• Support contact: How to get help
• Social proof request: Ask for a share or review

Step 4: Design Email Sequence

Create a complete email nurture sequence. The exact sequence depends on the funnel type, but the general framework is:

Email 1: Welcome + Deliver (Send: Immediately)

Subject: [Your [lead magnet name] is ready]
Purpose: Deliver the promised resource, set expectations
Structure:
- Warm welcome
- Download link / access instructions
- What to expect from future emails
- Quick win: one actionable tip from the resource
- P.S.: Tease what's coming in the next email

Email 2: Value + Story (Send: Day 2)

Subject: [Relevant to pain point / curiosity-driven]
Purpose: Build relationship, demonstrate expertise
Structure:
- Personal story or case study related to the core problem
- Key insight or lesson learned
- How this connects to their situation
- Soft mention of your solution (no hard sell)
- P.S.: Social proof element

Email 3: Case Study / Social Proof (Send: Day 4)

Subject: [How [person/company] achieved [result]]
Purpose: Build credibility through others' success
Structure:
- Specific case study with real numbers
- Before → After transformation
- The exact steps they took
- How your product/service enabled the result
- Subtle CTA to learn more

Email 4: Soft Pitch (Send: Day 6)

Subject: [Question related to their aspiration]
Purpose: Introduce the core offer
Structure:
- Address the gap between where they are and where they want to be
- Present your offer as the bridge
- Key features → benefits translation
- FAQ addressing top objections
- CTA with link to sales/checkout page
- P.S.: Mention the guarantee

Email 5: Hard Pitch + Urgency (Send: Day 8)

Subject: [Direct offer headline with urgency element]
Purpose: Drive conversion with full pitch
Structure:
- Restate the core value proposition
- Stack all benefits
- Present the offer with full pricing
- Compare cost to value of outcomes
- Bonuses (if applicable)
- Guarantee details
- Strong CTA with urgency reason
- P.S.: Scarcity element (spots, time, price)

Email 6: Objection Crusher (Send: Day 10)

Subject: [Addresses the #1 objection directly]
Purpose: Overcome final resistance
Structure:
- Acknowledge the top objection ("I know what you might be thinking...")
- Address it head-on with logic, proof, or reframing
- Additional testimonial focused on this objection
- Risk reversal reminder
- Simplified CTA

Email 7: Last Chance (Send: Day 12)

Subject: [Final reminder / closing deadline]
Purpose: Final conversion push
Structure:
- This is the last email about this offer
- Recap everything they get
- Recap the guarantee
- Final deadline or price change notice
- Very direct CTA
- What happens if they don't act (stay stuck in current state)
- P.S.: Personal note from founder/creator

Step 5: Add Cross-Page Tracking

Implement tracking across all funnel pages:

UTM Parameter Passthrough

// Capture UTM params on entry page
(function() {
  var params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
  var utmKeys = ['utm_source', 'utm_medium', 'utm_campaign', 'utm_term', 'utm_content'];
  var utmData = {};
  utmKeys.forEach(function(key) {
    if (params.get(key)) utmData[key] = params.get(key);
  });
  if (Object.keys(utmData).length > 0) {
    sessionStorage.setItem('10x_utm', JSON.stringify(utmData));
  }
})();

Conversion Events

Define tracking events for each funnel stage:

Event Firing Template

// 10x Team funnel tracking
function track10xEvent(eventName, eventData) {
  eventData = eventData || {};
  eventData.funnel_name = '{{FUNNEL_NAME}}';
  eventData.timestamp = new Date().toISOString();

  // Google Analytics 4
  if (typeof gtag === 'function') {
    gtag('event', eventName, eventData);
  }

  // Meta Pixel
  if (typeof fbq === 'function') {
    fbq('trackCustom', eventName, eventData);
  }

  // Console (debug mode)
  if (window.__10xDebug) {
    console.log('[10x-funnel]', eventName, eventData);
  }
}

Step 6: Create Funnel Metrics Dashboard Template

Generate a metrics tracking template:

# Funnel Metrics Dashboard

## Traffic
- Total visitors: ___
- Source breakdown: Paid ___ / Organic ___ / Social ___ / Email ___

## Conversion by Stage
| Stage | Visitors | Conversions | Rate | Benchmark |
|-------|----------|-------------|------|-----------|
| Landing Page → Lead | ___ | ___ | ___% | 20-40% |
| Lead → Email Open | ___ | ___ | ___% | 30-50% |
| Email → Sales Page | ___ | ___ | ___% | 5-15% |
| Sales Page → Checkout | ___ | ___ | ___% | 5-20% |
| Checkout → Purchase | ___ | ___ | ___% | 50-80% |
| Purchase → Upsell | ___ | ___ | ___% | 10-25% |

## Revenue
- Total revenue: $___
- Average order value: $___
- Revenue per lead: $___
- Cost per lead: $___
- ROAS: ___x

## Key Bottlenecks
1. Biggest drop-off: [stage] (___% → ___%)
2. Below benchmark: [stage]
3. Optimization priority: [recommendation]

SPECIAL MODES

/lp-funnel emails — Email Sequence Only

Skip page building and generate only the email sequence:
1. Ask about the product, audience, and offer
2. Determine the appropriate email sequence type
3. Generate all 5-7 emails with complete copy
