Subject: why your list isn't converting

ditch freebie-seekers and attract buyers with this quiz funnel strategy

Friend,


You've been told to grow your email list because that's a source of 'potential leads' for your offers...


...and you're getting new opt-ins, but your sales aren't budging. 😤


It’s frustrating, right? You’re doing all the things to drive leads into your funnel, but it feels like no matter how big your list gets, the actual results just aren’t there.


Here’s the problem: Most funnels are built to attract anyone — not the right ones.


And when every lead is treated the same, it’s no wonder you're left with a list full of freebie-hunters who ghost the second you make an offer. 👻


That’s exactly what we sat down to unpack with Maeve Ferguson — Irish funnel strategist and total wizard when it comes to building smart, data-driven lead systems for coaches, creators, and experts who are done with the bro marketing energy.



She calls it the “Value Void” — the gap between the content you're putting out and the conversions you're hoping for.


Where does that gap come from?
→ Overloaded audiences (hi, AI overwhelm!)
→ Vague messaging that doesn’t connect
→ Funnels that don’t actually qualify leads


The result? You're stuck doing way too much chasing and not nearly enough actual connecting with the people who are ready to work with you.


I'm hearing this A LOT in my conversations as a current pain point...so that's why I'm re-surfacing this interview I did with Maeve for you to watch.


In this interview, Maeve walks us through her Thought Leader’s Pathway™ — a quiz-based lead generation system that turns your content (like YouTube videos!) into a high-ticket sales engine. 💸


These aren’t your typical “grab this freebie” opt-ins.


Instead, a quiz or diagnostic funnel helps your audience qualify themselves — so they’re not just raising their hand, they’re telling you exactly where they are in the buyer journey.


That means:
✔ No more random, unaligned freebie-seekers clogging up your list
✔ No more guesswork—you’ll know exactly what your audience actually wants
✔ No more wasted effort chasing the wrong people


Maeve has helped countless coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs build quiz funnels that run 24/7 to attract and convert their ideal clients - and in this interview, she’s showing you how to do it too.


This conversation is packed with takeaways, including:

✓ Why quiz funnels outperform traditional lead magnets
✓ How to segment leads into “ready-to-buy” vs. “not-yet”
✓ What it really takes to attract quality clients without shouting louder


If you're a thought leader or content creator who wants to scale smarter — without being pushy, salesy, or spammy, you do not want to miss this.
