Funnels are the lifeblood of any digital business. They’re supposed to guide prospects step by step toward becoming paying clients. But if you’ve ever built one, you know how fragile they can be.
A lead clicks your ad, visits your page, maybe even fills out a form… then nothing. No booking, no sale. Just silence.
That’s because most funnels leak. Pages don’t connect. Follow-ups don’t fire. Prospects lose interest. And every leak means lost revenue.
The HighLevel Funnel Builder Playbook was designed to fix that. It’s a complete system that shows you how to build airtight funnels that capture attention, nurture leads, and close sales.
And on September 22–23, you can launch it live during the HighLevel Funnel Builder Workshop, hosted by Paulson Thomas and funnel strategist Gusten Sun.

Why Funnels Fail (and How to Fix Them)
Funnels don’t fail because you’re not getting traffic. They fail because of disconnects along the journey:
• Visitors land on your page but find no clear next step.
• A form collects information but isn’t connected to your CRM.
• Leads opt in but never hear from you again.
Every one of these is a leak. And most businesses have dozens of them.
The HighLevel Funnel Builder Playbook solves this by showing you how to structure funnels that keep leads moving forward – with no escape routes.

Here’s what you’ll find inside the playbook:
• Playbook Introduction – What funnels are, why they matter, and how this framework works.

How the Playbook Works Step by Step
Here’s how the HighLevel Funnel Builder Playbook works in practice:
1. Capture
A visitor fills out a form, survey, or booking page. Their details flow directly into your pipeline.
2. Nurture
A visitor fills out a form, survey, or booking page. Their details flow directly into your pipeline.
3. Close
Leads book themselves into your calendar, chat widgets answer questions, and follow-ups seal the deal.
The entire process runs smoothly, without leaks.
