Alen Sultanic of Nothing Held Back has been very generous and kind with the recommendation of LeadsHook as a solution for implementation of quiz funnels.
In case you’re not aware of Alen’s framework for creating Quiz Funnels, then be sure to study the original post along with related great questions and comments in the Nothing Held Back facebook group.
If you’ve been in marketing for more than 5 minutes, then you’ll appreciate the honest no-BS implementation guide on how to take Alen’s framework and bring it to life…
… without wasting thousands of dollars on design and tracking and analytics
… without wasting tens or hundreds of hours putting out SOS calls on FB groups
Here’s a typical scenario I’ve seen play out when it comes to creating quiz funnels…
Before I share what’s going on, who am I?
My name is Nik and I run LeadsHook.
LeadsHook is used by marketers who don’t give testimonials!
Marketers spending millions of dollars per month in adspend, don’t create courses or share posts about their wins! They might create courses after they sell their business but I don’t know of a single true bona fide baller who will waste time creating a course!
(Yes, per month!)
This gives me a front-seat in the lead gen world
Plus, I create, review and fix funnels everyday.
Over time I’ve learnt, the main reason why people fail is not because they can’t put together a bunch of questions and answers.
It’s because they lack the ‘other’ hidden, rarely spoken about skills you need to go from… a bunch of questions and answers… to a live marketing campaign.
This implementation guide helps identify your capability gap(s). And gives you a simplified roadmap to take the output of Alen’s framework and bring it to life.
As you’ll soon see, decision trees are quiz funnels on steroids because they allow you to create richer experiences than the plain old linear quiz funnels…
The above image is of LeadsHook which allows you to create scalable decision trees, aka, quiz funnels on steroids! On the left hand side, you see a decision tree and on the right you see what is typically seen as a quiz funnel.
Many quiz funnels start out as a simple linear funnel seen on the right hand side. And, as you learn more, it evolves into what you see on the left.
Many users of LeadsHook generate leads in high value, high volume verticals like Solar, Debt, Refinance, Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Car Finance, Business Loans, Personal Loans, Personal Injury, Unfair Dismissals and many other related markets.
And, info-marketing and affiliate marketing with personalized reports, pdfs, offer-walls and dynamic-offers…
Millions of leads have been generated including funnels that have done about 200,000 leads per day!
Massive scale: Doing 200,000 leads per day with LeadsHook!
Within a few minutes of scrolling on your favorite social media platform, you’ll run into an ad leading to a quiz funnel
Unfortunately, when running everything at scale, you will get copied! Of course, there are no shortage of strategies around copying what works…
There is an ever-present danger of getting funnel hacked…
Now if your funnel only has one linear path… a string of questions with zero variation, then you’ll get funnel hacked. And really have no one else to blame but yourself. Often it’s too late by the time you find out.
The best offense is adding in enough complexity that someone copies what looks like a linear path when in fact it’s not!
Thankfully, we know plenty of decision trees that have safely continued to perform with no changes for months if not years, as you’ll see below…
At least in the case of quiz funnels using LeadsHook decision trees these funnels have the experience of a linear funnel but look like something else under-the-hood (like what you see above on the left hand side).
Even if you bang-out a quiz funnel in a few minutes, it does not mean you’ll be able to scale or even get to the starting line to launch one.
Based on my experience of having worked on thousands of funnels generating millions of leads in some of the most hyper-competitive markets, please watch this video on what it takes to truly scale quiz funnels…
While we won’t go into the persuasion and copywriting required in this implementation guide, arguably even more important than the quiz funnel itself is not even in the quiz…
… it’s a promise of an outcome!
It’s a story, hook and message addressing an unrecognized need or providing a new spin on an existing issue that stops your prospect…
The most universally applicable way to do this is to abstract your product or solution to a higher level so you can talk at the level where the most of the market is.
A shortcut is… tying your product to the “zeitgeist” or the current mood.
Example: While I might have the best insurance offer, you will access a much larger audience if your messaging was at current “cost of living crisis” level instead of “get cheap insurance” level.
When you’re solving cheap insurance, a small percentage of prospects might give you 5 seconds…
But, when you’re addressing the cost of living crisis, you can easily expand attention from a few seconds to a few minutes from a much larger proportion of the market!
With a higher level of abstraction, you pretty much have the market to yourself.
What type of results can you start getting…
When combined with a decision tree, your quiz funnel is unhackable and can run for months if not years without any edits!
Here’s a funnel that’s been running since 2017 with almost no changes…
The above decision tree was sold as part of a multi-dollar transaction so you’re only seeing numbers from the new owners who took over on 1st Nov 2023. Original decision tree was setup in March 2017.
No matter what market you’re in, if you have an opportunity to learn about someone and then give them a solution or next step, then you should test a quiz funnel.
Remember the quid pro quo is… if you give me a tiny bit of your attention, then I’ll give you the pathway to value exceeding many times the time and a tiny bit of information about your situation.
You’re taking your prospect on an emotional journey – one that leads them from curious to committed, from problem-aware to solution-ready.
This type of consultative selling is about as old as selling itself. Quiz funnels makes consultative selling far more scalable and efficient.
By the end of the quiz, the prospect feels seen, understood, and most importantly – hopeful.
The results page… the page where you offer understanding and lead them to their next step, not only validates their challenges but presents a clear, compelling solution.
Your prospect can almost taste the joy and confidence that comes with achieving their desired outcome. Suddenly, investing in your program or booking a call feels like the most obvious, natural, and exciting next step.
A by-product of a great quiz funnel is data…
Amazingly we see very few marketers exploiting this ability to gather data for a deep understanding of the segments converting (and not converting). Conversions are not equal and understanding various segments opens up many opportunities for scaling – this is arguably one of the most under-exploited opportunities.
Of course, we want the data to further validate our initial idea about our target market. And, also learn about other market segments and clusters of profits sitting inside your customer database.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the step-by-step process of creating high-converting quiz funnels using Alen’s framework that engages, inspires, and sells.
Whether you’re a seasoned marketer or a newbie entrepreneur, you’ll discover how to leverage the psychological principles of persuasion to turn cold leads into raving fans and customers.
Based on thousands of decision trees created and millions of leads generated, here are the main phases you’ll go through to create a quiz funnel…
The phases below show you a ‘non-BS’ version of what it actually takes to build a funnel that has already done 7,8 or even 9 figures.
Yes, you will need to do some work! 🙂
Watch the video below below and save yourself a lot of needless pain, deadline delays and costly mistakes by mapping out the process or flow of your quiz funnel.
A successful quiz campaign appears much easier than it is. Follow the phases below to increase your chances of a successful campaign…
As your saw in the video above “7 Capabilities for High Volume
‘Unhackable’ Lead Gen”, knowing the steps or order of steps is not enough. Now, it’s time to see what capabilities you need and more importantly WHO is going to do the work…
Now, it’s time to ensure you’ve identified the haps in your capability and close these gaps…
Remember, you’ll only realize the true cost or the opportunity cost of wasting your hard-earned capital on sloppy execution after it’s too late.
Please go through Alen’s post again before creating a quiz.
We’ve gone through Alen’s post and did our best to break it down into individual steps…

“I know how challenging and frustrating weight loss can be.

But the good news is, there’s a solution that addresses the missing piece in most failed diets – and that’s what I’m excited to share with you today.”
“Based on your quiz results, it seems the biggest thing holding you back is a damaged metabolism from years of restrictive dieting.
Here’s what happens: every time you drastically cut calories, your body thinks you’re starving and goes into survival mode.
Your metabolism slows to a crawl, and your body starts clinging to every calorie, making it nearly impossible to lose weight and keep it off.”

The video below is arguably the most important one. You’ll learn the 10 different ways you can transition your leads to the next step or offer.
You can even transition different leads into different options based on their lead scores or ‘cluster’ of answers…
It’s time to go back to the top and position the quiz…
The reason we are doing the landing page now is because you now have the visibility of the quiz and where your leads will end up.
You’ll also learn if your funnels need a landing page or perhaps need a pre-framing page or an advertorial…
And in some markets you can embed the quiz directly into the landing page. And in some markets you can send traffic directly to the quiz.
Design discussions spark heated debates all the time! 🙂
While it’s nice to be pixel perfect before launch, you’ll see the little device we all use is a great equalizer and often renders our hard work and labor into the invisible part of the funnel.
Watch this video to discover both sides and a few guidelines on how you should start your quiz funnel…
Are you in the… “let’s add tracking later camp?”
Watch the video below where we go through a 5-min tracking hack…
In this step, you’ll discover a way to go live that practically stops you from ever having to needlessly go back into learning mode.
We won’t (publicly) discuss the evil genius ways you can use this capability!
If you follow the above steps and study the sample quiz, then it’s almost impossible to not create high converting quiz funnels…
By following this step-by-step process, you can create quiz funnels that not only capture your audience’s attention but also guide them through a transformative journey.
