Funnels, Sales, & Marketing with Mike Killen KDS: 011
Every time I talk to Mike Killen I feel like I’ve drunk from a firehouse of awesomeness.
Mike’s energy and enthusiasm for what he does are infectious. Mike and I connected 5 or 6 years ago and a lot has changed in his business, which is why I wanted to have him on the podcast (and quite frankly I don’t know what took me so long to get him on the show, so sorry about that Mike 😉 ). Like a lot of people, Mike started out freelancing and then moved to the agency side of things. His next step was working with WP Elevation as a coach and through the journey, Mike found a sweet spot with marketing funnels.
He’s since launched an amazing product called ‘Beaver Funnels’, which allows you to structure your funnels in your WordPress dashboard (think to see the sequence of your funnel pages in one place, as opposed to the default WordPress page structure) as well as a content engine that helps you build out the copy for your funnels (this is GOLD).
Questions I Asked Mike
- Can you share your backstory with the audience?
- Do you think that people who build and sell websites need to offer more than just websites?

- How moving too quickly can cause problems (do you know the guts of your business)

Brilliant read!
You have hit home regarding agencies being “full-service”, it’s always about offering all that the client needs. Most clients contract work to people they are most comfortable with, so when you have a relationship in place and when they have requests outside your core area, one tends to get it done through partners(outsource). In the short run, it feels good with the extra work flowing in… but in the long run, it does hamper focused growth to being a niche “superstar”
Thanks, Robert!
Mike knows his stuff 😉 A lot of this will depend on how big you want to grow your business and the services you can confidently provide.
