No-Maintenance Evergreen Sales Funnels Are a Myth. Here’s Why They’re Still Worth Building.

Tell me if this sounds familiar.

Your business operates in a cycle of sales, fulfillment, sales, fulfillment. It seems like half the year, you’re hitting sales and marketing hard — building funnels, prospecting for leads, showing up for guest interviews, and more.
