🚀 Build Your Own AI-Powered Sales Funnel
— Issue #17 of The Artificial Newsletter
Hey Builders,
This week, we're focusing on something every founder, freelancer, and digital creator needs: a sales funnel that runs itself. We'll build one using AI—not in theory, but in action.
By the end of this newsletter, you'll know how to:
Attract leads without constantly posting
Qualify them automatically
Nurture and convert them using smart automation
Let’s go.
🧲 Step 1: Awareness — Attracting Leads
Use GPT or any AI writing assistant to create:
SEO-optimized blog posts
LinkedIn threads
Newsletter lead magnets
Keep a consistent tone and CTA in everything. Example prompt:
"Write a 5-step LinkedIn thread on the biggest mistakes startups make in automating their sales funnels."
💬 Step 2: Interest — Engaging Visitors
Use tools like Typeform, Tally, or even an AI chatbot (like Intercom or Drift with GPT). Ask questions like:
What's your biggest challenge right now?
What service are you exploring?
You’re collecting intent, not just info.
🧠 Step 3: Consideration — Qualify Using AI
Send form responses to OpenAI via Zapier or Make.com. Ask GPT to:
Summarize user needs
Score urgency
Recommend next steps
Prompt example:
"Classify this lead as Hot, Warm, or Cold. Suggest what kind of content they need next."
✉️ Step 4: Intent — Nurture With Personalized Emails
Once a lead is classified, create 3 email flows:
Hot → Book a call
Warm → Share a case study
Cold → Keep in newsletter flow
Use GPT to generate the email body dynamically based on their input.
📅 Step 5: Conversion — Schedule With Confidence
Embed Calendly or SavvyCal links. GPT can summarize lead history and pass it to the sales rep before the call.
You’ll never walk into a blind sales meeting again.
🔄 Step 6: Post-Sale — Upsell With Data
Use AI to:
Track behavior (email opens, site visits)
Trigger upsell content or webinars
Prompt for GPT:
"This user has opened the last 3 emails about [topic]. Recommend a follow-up resource and next offer."
🧪 DIY Challenge of the Week:
Build this sales funnel using:
Typeform + Zapier + OpenAI + MailerLite + Calendly
Or Notion + Make.com + ChatGPT
No-code, high-impact.
Reply to this email if you want me to share a pre-built template.
Until next time, keep experimenting and building in public.
Cheers,
The Artificial Newsletter
