10 Mistakes Coaches Make While Building Funnels (And How to Avoid Them)

By Sadab Ali – Digital Coach | Founder of BG Funnel

🚫 Why Do Funnels Fail for Most Coaches?

Let me ask you a simple question:

Did you build a funnel and still feel stuck with no bookings?

You’re not alone. Many Indian coaches try to build funnels after watching videos, but still get zero leads. The reason is not your effort — it’s just a few common mistakes.

In this blog, I’ll show you the top 10 funnel mistakes most coaches make and how to fix them step-by-step.

💡 What Is a Funnel in Coaching?

A funnel is like a smart path that helps a stranger become your client. It can:

Collect names and phone numbers
Send follow-up messages automatically
Help people book calls or buy your course

Think of it as your 24×7 assistant — doing the talking, guiding, and selling for you.

❌ 10 Big Mistakes Coaches Make While Building Funnels

1. Unclear Offer

“Join my class” is not clear.
✅ Try: “Lose 5kg in 30 Days” or “Launch Your Course in 15 Days”

2. Too Many Tools

Using separate tools for each task causes errors.
✅ Use a complete system like BG Funnel

3. Bad on Mobile

If your funnel looks messy on phone, people will close it.
✅ Always test your funnel on mobile.

4. No Follow-Up

If leads don’t get an instant message, they forget you.
✅ Use WhatsApp + Email follow-up automation.

5. Too Many Steps

If there are too many clicks, people get bored.
✅ Keep it short: Form → Thank You → Booking → Reminder

6. No Testimonials

People trust results, not promises.
✅ Add real stories, screenshots, or videos from happy clients.

7. Targeting Everyone

Trying to help everyone helps no one.
✅ Know your niche and talk directly to them.

8. No Urgency

If there’s no reason to act now, they won’t.
✅ Add “Only 10 spots left” or “Offer closes in 3 days”.

9. Trying to Sell High-Ticket Directly

Don’t try to sell ₹50,000 in one step.
✅ First offer a free class, PDF, or strategy call.

10. No Tracking or CRM

If you don’t know who clicked or booked, you can’t grow.
✅ Use a CRM system like BG Funnel to see all your data.

💬 A Real Example: Coach Preeti’s Funnel Success

Preeti is a relationship coach from Jaipur.
She built her funnel on her own using free tools, but it didn’t work.

Then, she joined my BG Funnel program.

We created a simple funnel with:

A clear offer
WhatsApp follow-up
A booking page

In 1 week, she got:

83 leads
25 strategy call bookings
11 program sales

“This system gave me results in days, not months!” – Preeti
