Leadpages and Drip
The ONLY email program and sales funnel system I use and trust. Leadpages and Drip convert subscribers into loyal evangelists.
Leadpages is a digital marketing application that enables marketers to generate leads by optimizing web traffic conversion from ad to action. Unlike other ad campaign and landing page tools, Leadpages allows marketers to build quickly and spend wisely, by demystifying Facebook ads and making it outrageously easy to publish high-converting landing pages. At Leadpages, the mantra is Grow Boldly.
They’re committed to enabling small businesses to grow boldly into big ones. They do this by enabling marketers to turn clicks into customers and make the most of their marketing spend – for every budget size and business type. **

Thousands of marketers are graduating from typical email platforms, and making more money with intelligent marketing automation from Drip. Embrace true marketing automation with their visual workflow builder. You’ll easily design comprehensive, custom email campaigns and simplify your sales funnel.
Drip’s tracking capabilities are just as curious as you are. Start having deeper conversations, and give your customers what they want by learning exactly what they do (and don’t do). **
