Alright, now let’s get into Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula.
Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula
Russell shares this information back then in his DotComSecrets Ignite webclass.
It’s a 3-hour long weblass which you can in your ClickFunnels account.
They offer a 14-day free trial if you want to dig deeper into the secret formula.
I found it super useful that’s why I create this particular piece just for you in a simplified version.
This secret formula is divided into 4 sections:
- Section #1: Designing Your Dream Business
- Section #2: The Value Ladder
- Section #3: Funnelology
- Section #4: Funnel & Scripts
Let’s dive in!
Section #1: Designing Your Dream Business
Who?
Where??
BAIT???
Where????
These are the four questions Russell suggests you should ask yourself when you want to design your dream business.
A business and a product are two different things.
A business is when you can take someone from point A to point B.
You can offer them value, to help them reach their goals.
The product can be the vehicle that helps you deliver this value but it is not the only one!
They will help you create a business model that allows you to offer real value to people and eventually drive sales.
The WHO (Dream Customers)
A dream customer is a prospect that is potentially 20 times larger than your average customer.
Entrepreneur.com
No matter you do sales online or offline, Russell shares the idea of the “Dream Customer”.
These are not random, they are potential customers and clients who have the same values as you.
The more you understand who are “they” the higher the chance to find them and serve them.
Why so?
So you can create a message that resonates with them, and offer the products and services they need to solve their problems.
So how do we do that?
Have you watched Criminal Minds?
In this show, the BAU team is able to profile a criminal by looking for patterns in their behavior.
The same approach can be used when creating your dream customer.
But what is a dream customer anyway?
Dream customer is a person who is in need of your services and products, who has the financial means to purchase them, and who will remain loyal for a long time.
…and most importantly a person who you want to work with…
This definition sets the foundation of Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula.
By understanding who your dream customer is, you can create an irresistible offer that solves their problems and leads them to success!
There are many resources on how to create your dream customers or avatars.
Once you identify WHO then it will be easier for you to identify WHERE these people are hanging.
Let me explain.
Can you sell a comb to a monk?
No, you can’t because a monk is not in need of a comb.
But the stories tells us otherwise.
The story of 3 salesmen selling comb to a monk in 3 days.
- Salesman #1 sold one.
- Salesman #2 sold 10.
- Salesman #3 sold thousands and millions.
Long story short…
3 of them manage to sell to monks which is impossible to do.
So what was their secret?
They understand the benefits of the comb.
But what differentiates the 3 is how well you understand your customer.
Salesman #3 did so well because he knows what his dream customer wants and he provides value to them.
So Russell suggests, to design your dream customer, you must understand their wants and needs first.
Once you got that covered then you know WHERE they are…
…and Russell even explained how to BAIT them.
WHERE are they?
Let’s run ads on Facebook and get more people!
…cricket noises in the background…
What would you think would happen if your dream customer is not on Facebook?
That’s why Russell believes in understanding the who and where first.
He encourages entrepreneurs to seek out micro-communities, like forums, blogs, or any platform your dream customers are hanging around.
A simple hack would be to look at your direct competitors and find out where they are getting their customers from.
Is it from ads? Is it from word of mouth?
By understanding the who and where you can target them with your solutions and be more effective.
Then you can make a list of these platforms and start creating content that attracts your dream customers.
The BAIT
“Congratulations you are the lucky winner #123!”
Back then we have seen this kind of pop-up everywhere but the question is would you ever consider clicking it?
The answer is, it depends.
(I would definately not click on it)
It Depends on the BAIT! Russell called it a “hook”.
It should be something so enticing that your dream customer will want to click or take action.
Let’s say you are selling a book about gardening.
What kind of bait do you think your dream customer might be interested in?
You can offer them a free chapter, a webinar, or even an ebook.
All of these are great baits to reel in your dream customers and turn them into paying clients!
So, Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula is not just about knowing who and where, but also understanding how to bait them with the right hook.
Alright, now you have captured your dream customers’ attention and they are hooked to you WHERE would you bring them next?
The Destination
Your customer don’t care about you. They don’t care about your product or service. They care about themselves, their dreams, their goals.
Steve Jobs
Most people create an offer and blast all the cool stuff about themselves as if people care.
The truth of the matter is, no one does except your mom and even she knows better.
Your dream customer doesn’t care about you or your products until they get something from it.
What they care about is “The Destination” they want to reach.
When Russell talks about the destination, he means the end result that your dream customer wants to have.
The destination could be anything from making more money, having a better lifestyle, or even just being happier.
It’s important to understand what kind of dreams and goals your dream customers want to achieve and how you can help them get there.
Once you have identified the destination, Russell suggests that your offer should focus on how they will get to their final goal and what they need to do.
This is why Russell believes in creating offers that are targeted towards helping your dream customer reach their desired destination.
Your products would be the vehicle that helps them get there faster.
So Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula is about understanding the who, where, how to bait, and the destination.
Your Business=Helps Your Dream Customer Reach Their Destination
Your Product=Helps Guide Your Dream Customer Towards the Destination
Section #2: The Value Ladder
Failure to earn the trust of your prospects kills sales conversions.
Forbes
Imagine when you walk into a coffee shop to grab your morning coffee.
While waiting for your energy boost, a random guy walks over and starts talking about a random opportunity.
Will You Trust Him? Will you buy from him? Chances are most people will not.
It is very much the same when you ask your dream customer to buy from you.
Trust is the key ingredient in any purchase decision. Russell calls it “The Value Ladder”.
It starts with small gestures like providing free content, offering consultation, or giving discounts.
By nurturing relationships through these small actions Russell believes that it will build trust and loyalty between you and your customer.
Russell suggests that the next step would be to offer low-priced products or services like ebooks, webinars, video courses, etc.
When customers purchase a low-ticket price item from you, it is an indication of their trust in what you have to offer.
Once this trust is established Russell suggests that you can start offering higher ticket price items.
Your low-cost items are the tickets to help knock down the false beliefs your customers have about you and create a long-term relationship with them.
Russell even says that this concept helps him to take his business to a whole new level.
Amateurs Focus On The Front End…
Russell Brunson
When it comes to building a company online what is the first goal we want to achieve?
Most people want to make money and Russell believes that is okay.
The key difference between an amateur and a pro (You) is the way they approach it.
Amateurs focus on the front end which means thinking about how much money they can make from each customer at their first sale.
You should focus on the backend.
Backend is the ultimate offer where you can serve your customer at the highest level.
Now let’s take a look at what it looks like.
As you can see from the illustration above.
The front-end product has a lower value and lower price point.
Front-end products could be anything from free book, free copy of ebook, or even a low-priced product.
When customers are happy with their first experience with you, they will want to have more experiences with you that are even better.
Guess what’s gonna happen next when your customer gets closer and closer to their destination?
They will want more from you, right?
How cool is that?
You could help them reach their destination with Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula!
It helps you offer a value ladder of products and services ranging from low-cost items to high-ticket items, helping them on their journey to success.
ClickFunnels Value Ladder
If you don’t have a continuity program; you don’t have a business.
Russell Brunson
82% of businesses fail because of cash flow problems…
That’s a whopping number, isn’t it?
Russell Brunson believes that a continuity program is a key to success for any business.
Why?
Continuity programs provide a stream of recurring income.
It’s like having your own ATM machine that dispenses money on a monthly basis.
It could be anything from membership programs, subscription boxes, or even coaching packages.
The other reason why would be you can continuously provide value and stay connected with your customer.
When your customer grows with your service, it will create a sense of loyalty and trust.
Now let’s take a look at Russell’s ClickFunnels Value Ladder.
Above is an illustration of Russell Brunson’s ClickFunnels value ladder.
As of this date he still using the same value ladder but in a different form.
Previously, Russell only use a normal survey to direct people to a different offer.
The survey is as follows:
In your business, the #1 thing that is holding you back…
- I don’t have a funnel yet…
- I don’t have a product yet…
- I need more traffic for my funnel…
With each answer, you pick you would be directed to a different offer.
If you don’t have a funnel yet…
…You would be directed to the Dotcom Secrets Free + Shipping Book offer.
If you don’t have a product yet…
…You would be directed to the Expert Secrets Free + Shipping Book offer.
If you need more traffic…
…You would be directed to the Traffic Secrets Free + Shipping Book offer.
Recently, Russell turns this survey format into a video format with his newly acquire Voomly video hosting software.
Which is pretty cool if you ask me.
The question of the survey is the same but to continue watching his video you need to answer the question in the video.
What do you think you would do if you found his book valuable?
Chances are…
- You will want to learn even more about Russell’s secrets.
- You may think of signing up for his ClickFunnels and Funnel Builder Secret Program.

It is all possible with Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula!

- To capture more customers

Section #3: Funnelology
A well-defined marketing (or sales) funnel helps you serve relevant information at the right time, across the right channel.
Salesforce
Do you know what is the #1 killer when it comes to funnel building?
EXPECTATIONS.
Thousand people build funnels every day…
Thousand people quits every day…
…What does that even mean?
Most people set their expectations too high when it comes to funnels.
They hope that F-U-N-N-E-L will solve all of their problems and make them millions overnight.
That’s not the case…
Russell Brunson explains that funnel building should be seen as a process, not a goal in Russell Brunson’s Secret Formula.
Your job is to build and launch your funnel.
Tweak it with the right data.
And then market(scale) it with the right strategy.
The 7 Phases of a Funnel
Data is money.
Irishtechnews
Based on Russell’s studies on funnels…
All customers usually go thru the 7 phases of a funnel.
- Phase #1: Traffic Temperature
- Phase #2: Pre-Frame Bridge
- Phase #3: Qualify Subscribers
- Phase #4: Qualify Buyers
- Phase #5: Identify Hyperactive Buyers
- Phase #6: Age and Ascend The Relationship
- Phase #7: Change The Selling Environment
Phase #1: Traffic Temperature
The first phase of the funnel is to identify the temperature of your traffic.
It is important to determine whether they are cold, warm, or hot leads.
Cold leads have minimal engagement with your content while warm leads have some level of interest and familiarity with you.
Hot leads are familiar with your brand and have already shown a high level of engagement.
Knowing the temperature of your traffic helps you to design content that will be most effective in converting them into customers.
Phase #2: Pre-Frame Bridge
The second phase is to bridge the gap between where your prospect currently stands and what they need to know in order to fully understand the value of your offer.
Russell calls this the pre-frame bridge.
Through this phase, you create content that will help prospects move from one stage to another in their buying journey.
Phase #3: Qualify Subscribers
The third phase is about qualifying your subscribers and determining who are more likely to become paying customers.
Focusing your attention on the right segment of prospects will help you to maximize your conversion rate and increase your sales.
Phase #4: Qualify Buyers
Once you have identified and qualified potential buyers, Russell recommends that you identify the most interested buyers and focus on them.
This is known as qualifying buyers.
Russell’s Secret Formula provides a step-by-step guide on how to identify and target the most interested buyers.
Phase #5: Identify Hyperactive Buyers
The fifth phase is to identify hyperactive buyers who are ready to purchase soon.
Russell’s Secret Formula provides an effective method of turning these buyers into high-value customers.
Phase #6: Age and Ascend The Relationship
The sixth phase is to age and ascend the customer relationship. Russell’s Secret Formula offers strategies for nurturing existing relationships with customers and turning them into raving fans.
Phase #7: Change The Selling Environment
The seventh phase is all about changing the selling environment by understanding how prospects perceive your product or service and restructuring your sales proposition accordingly.
Russell’s Secret Formula guides you on how to adjust your message in order to influence the buying process.
Understanding these phases helps Russell to build what he calls “The 23 Building Blocks of a Funnel” to tackle each phase of the funnel.
