The Real Reason Your Funnel Isn't Selling (It's Not What You Think)

Low-ticket selling but your high-ticket still depends on you pushing it? In this episode, I'm breaking down how to set up your backend so a low-ticket buyer can naturally become a high-ticket client, without you living in DMs or running constant launches. We're talking delivery, buyer psychology, what happens before the sales page click, and why a smart fallback offer stops you from leaking money. What we covered today: Why "low-ticket doesn't lead to high-ticket" is usually a backend problem, not an offer problem. The #1 missing step: deliver the damn offer so buyers actually consume what they paid for (and trust you enough to upgrade). How to structure delivery for experiences (21-day challenge, 5-day training) so people don't forget, fall off, or stall. Why your backend must speak to all buyer types, not just the logical or the emotional ones. The truth about sales pages: the decision is 70–80% made before the click. Your emails create the "of course this is for me" moment. How your sales page can accidentally create new objections, and why "more info" isn't always better. The real job of a fallback offer (and why it's not the same as a downsell). How to use fallback offers strategically, including offering something more expensive when it fits what they actually need. The core reframe: this isn't about more offers, it's about better backend architecture.   What's next: Funnel Queen Mastermind starts January 5th.

The core function of a funnel: capture interest, keep people in your world, convert over time. How automation builds connection without sounding robotic.
