Building a High-Ticket Sales Funnel That Works in 2024

Are you hesitating to explore high-ticket sales?
Many agency owners let doubt hold them back from implementing their most powerful revenue generator – a high-ticket sales funnel.
This guide will show you the exact steps to land premium clients and create a reliable revenue stream for your agency.
What are high-ticket sales?
High-ticket sales involve premium-priced services or solutions that let businesses generate substantial revenue with better profit margins.
For instance, agencies typically price high-ticket offerings starting at $2000+ while delivering exceptional value to justify the investment.
Your funnel makes this possible.
A high-ticket sales funnel is your automated system for attracting, nurturing, and converting premium clients.
Benefits include:
Enhanced brand authority and market positioning
Natural upsell and cross-sell opportunities
Reduced acquisition costs
Steady, predictable revenue flow
Quick overview of our proven approach
Here's what you'll implement:
1. Creating your ideal client list (potential high-ticket buyers)
2. Spotlighting them through strategic interviews
3. Developing shared content for social platforms
4. Building authentic relationships
5. Converting them into premium clients
Why this strategy works:
1. Instead of cold pitching premium services, we focus on building genuine connections first, establishing trust, and crafting solutions that align with specific needs.
2. Both you and your prospects create valuable content together, positioning yourselves as industry authorities.
Let's break down each step.
Building your ideal client list or ICP:
Quality matters more than quantity. Focus on gathering 100-200 prospects who:
Need your premium solution
Have the budget to invest
Match your target profile
Can become powerful case studies
Are recognized in your industry
Essential list information (Include these details):
First name
Last name
Company name
Website
Email address
LinkedIn profile
Personalized conversation starter
Here's an example conversation starter created using ChatGPT:
Noticed your recent shift from [Competitor] to [New Solution]. Would love to feature your transformation story and insights!

Why choose interviews?
Forget traditional webinars. Strategic interviews provide the perfect excuse to build authentic connections. They allow prospects to share their expertise while creating natural two-way dialogue.
A major advantage is content multiplication – you can create multiple social media snippets from each conversation, driving inbound interest from similar prospects.
For new interviewers, here's how to choose topics:
1. Focus on pain points your premium service addresses
2. Select topics that interest senior decision-makers
3. Analyze competitor content and fill gaps
4. Prepare standard questions that showcase expertise
Example question: "How do you approach customer retention for high-value accounts?"
Reaching out to your ideal prospects
We recommend a dual-channel approach using LinkedIn and email for optimal response rates.
Use automation tools like Expandi to streamline this process:

Step 1: Send connection requests (without messages)
Set up an Expandi Connector campaign
Upload your prospect CSV
Let automation handle the outreach
Step 2: Once connected, send this message:
Hi [first_name],
[Personalized opener about their recent achievement]
Would love to feature your story about [company_name] in our upcoming expert series about [topic].
Interested?
Step 3: Follow up via email for non-responders:
Subject: Quick invitation
Hi [first_name],
Following up on my LinkedIn message about featuring you in our expert series on [topic].
Your expertise would provide valuable insights for our audience.
The conversation takes about 45 minutes, and we'll share it across multiple channels.
Would you be interested in participating?
This approach typically sees a 25% positive response rate.
Managing the interview
Key considerations for successful conversations:
1. Use automated reminders
Set up reminder sequences
Keep prospects engaged
Ensure smooth scheduling
2. Create natural dialogue
Keep conversations friendly
Avoid interrupting
Focus on building rapport
3. Identify challenges naturally
Instead of direct questions about problems, try this approach:
Example: If you provide LinkedIn lead generation for SaaS companies, and your guest mentions focusing on ads and SEO, ask:
"What's your take on outbound strategies, particularly LinkedIn?"
Follow up with why they chose their current approach.
Post-interview relationship building
Maintain momentum after the interview:
1. Send a thoughtful gift within a week
2. Share publication details with links to all platforms
3. Provide engagement metrics
4. Engage meaningfully on their social content
5. Offer valuable solutions
Example follow-up email:
Hi [first_name],
Quick update on our conversation's impact:
- 900+ listeners this week
- 1,500+ views on LinkedIn highlights
- Significant engagement from industry leaders
[Screenshots]
Thanks again for sharing your insights!
After about a week, send this kind of message:
Hi [first_name],
While researching for another client, I found these leads that might interest [company_name]:
[Lead 1] - [Company] - [Location] - [Contact details]
[Lead 2] - [Company] - [Location] - [Contact details]
[Lead 3] - [Company] - [Location] - [Contact details]
Happy to create a complete list of 1000 similar leads at no cost – just our way of saying thanks.
