The Ice Cream Funnel Book

Build a Trust-First Buying Journey That Sells Without Sleaze

Imagine this for a moment…

You walk into an ice cream shop. Nobody blocks the door. Nobody asks you to sign up for their newsletter before you try a flavor. Instead, they hand you a tiny pink spoon. One taste is all it takes.

That’s how this book works.

Instead of pushing you into another list-building scheme, The Ice Cream Funnel gives you a spoonful of something better: a buying journey that starts with trust, not tricks.

It’s built around two core elements:

Magnetic Words: The 2–3 words that spark instant attraction in your ideal buyers, giving them a clear, positive starting point for understanding your offer.

The Pink Spoon: A small, authentic taste of your offer that allows people to make a clear, gut-level decision about whether it’s for them.

Here's some of what you can expect inside...

  • Why asking for an email before proving your value is killing your conversions and what to do instead that makes people ask to hear from you. (Page 4)
  • The real reason most funnels fall flat and how to replace that fake intimacy with moments that spark real connection. (Page 11)
  • A scoop-by-scoop breakdown of the ice cream shop strategy that turns hesitant browsers into immediate buyers, all through one simple, sensory experience. (Page 55)
  • The 4 hidden assumptions buried in traditional funnel logic that quietly sabotage your sales… even when you're following “best practices.” (Page 9)
  • How to flip your entire buyer journey from “email-first” to “money-first” and why your inbox should be an invitation instead of an obligation. (Page 81)
  • The surprisingly powerful impact of two or three “magnetic words” and how to find the phrase that makes your offer instantly recognizable. (Page 42)
  • The truth about lead magnets no one wants to say out loud: (they don’t attract the best buyers, they attract the fastest ________). Here's what to offer instead. (Page 21)
  • Why most products fail quietly and how to make your offer feel instantly familiar in your audience’s mind. (Page 37)
  • The 4 traits of an effective __________ that can spark a gut-level buying decision in under 5 minutes. (Page 63)
  • How to design an experience online that makes your reader say “Yes, I want this” before they even think to ask for a discount. (Page 68)
  • What a small-town gelato shop can teach you about lifetime customer value, loyalty, and high-converting follow-up emails. (Page 81)
  • A completely different way to use email that multiplies trust after the purchase. (Page 84)

Who it’s for

If you’re a solopreneur, creator, or small business owner who feels uneasy with the pressure tactics you were taught, this book will feel like a breath of fresh air. You’ll see exactly how to design a customer journey that sells naturally, without sleaze.

What makes it different

Most books on funnels give you templates and scripts for capturing attention. This one gives you something else: a way to build trust so strong your customers invite you in.

Take your first spoonful

Read the book and you’ll see how simple it can be:

  • Experience first.
  • Transaction second.
  • Trust multiplying after the sale.

That’s the Ice Cream Funnel.

How much?

The book will be regularly priced at $19.99, but I'm making it available for $7.99 as a launch special.

Build your Ice Cream Funnel in days, not months

Sell without sleaze. Attract buyers who want to say yes.

In just a few days, you’ll have the words, the sample, and the blueprint to attract buyers from the gut.

I look forward to working with you on your new buying journey.
