# Agency & Services Application Funnel Template

> An application funnel asks before it sells. Instead of a booking link anyone can click, prospects answer a few short questions, and you decide who gets a call. This template is the two-page version for an agency or a services firm: an application page and a confirmation.

The Vonza Funnels template “Agency & services application” (goal: application, industry: Agency & services): Qualify people before a call: an application page and a confirmation.

## What the agency & services application template is for

Agencies lose hours to discovery calls that should never have been booked. An application page fixes the order of events: the prospect tells you about their business, budget range and timeline first, the answers land on their lead record, and the call is offered to the people you can actually help. The template carries that page and the confirmation that follows.

In the new Vonza Funnels an application step is an opt-in form with the application designs: it always asks for an email, can ask for name and phone, and takes up to ten questions as short text, long text, a number or a pick-one choice, with a consent tick box. The answers are what make the funnel work, so the template leaves room for them rather than filling the page with promises.

The confirmation page says the application was received and that a person will reply by email. That is a small page with a large job: it sets the expectation that this is a selective process, which is exactly what you want a prospective client to feel.

## The steps and what each page carries

2 steps, in the order a visitor sees them. Each step is a page built from one of the library's designs and opens in your brand colours and fonts.

### Step 1: Application (Application)

Qualify people before a call.

The application page carries an invitation and the form. The default “Photo beside the invitation” design shows a split hero with three outcomes beside a photo and a dark application form; the “Full-bleed photo” design adds a three-step “how it works” band (apply, we reply, a short call). The form takes the email, optional name and phone, and up to ten questions.

Worth doing: Ask four questions at most: what they do, what they need, their budget range as a pick-one, and when they want to start.

Designs this step can switch to: Photo beside the invitation, Full-bleed photo, Card over a photo, Video first, Minimal, Who it’s for, with reviews.

### Step 2: Application received (Thank you)

Confirm and tell people what happens next.

The “Application received” page confirms the application in the application context: a thank-you, a note that every application is read by a person and that you reply by email, and a “what happens next” band on the designs that carry one. It cannot be the first step and ends the funnel.

Worth doing: State a reply time you can keep, such as two working days, and name who will reply.

Designs this step can switch to: Centred confirmation, Full-bleed photo, Photo beside the message, Card over a photo, Minimal, Welcome video.

## What to change first

A template is a starting point. These are the four edits that turn the placeholder funnel into yours.

- **The questions**: The template form asks for the basics. Add your qualifying questions as pick-one choices where you can, so you can filter leads in the pipeline rather than reading essays.
- **The pipeline stages**: Rename the funnel’s stages to your process: Applied, Reviewing, Call booked, Proposal, Won, Lost. Stages run from 3 to 12 per funnel.
- **Who it is for**: Rewrite the three outcomes on the application page as the kind of client you want: company size, service, situation. Clear criteria filter better than any question.
- **The reply promise**: Edit the confirmation so the reply time and the next step (a short call) match how you really work.

## Who it suits

The template suits anyone who sells a service with a sales conversation in it and wants to choose who they talk to. It replaces the open calendar link at the end of a services page.

- Marketing, design and development agencies with a minimum project size
- Consultants and fractional executives who take a few clients at a time
- Service firms that quote after a conversation, such as architects, accountants or event planners
- Coaches and done-for-you providers who have outgrown first-come, first-served calls

## How to start

The template is in the Application goal and the Agency & services industry. Describe your service and your ideal client to Vonza AI with the “Professional” tone and it drafts both pages; the questions you add yourself.

1. **Choose the new Funnels**: Start your 14-day free trial and, in Funnels, choose “Try the new Funnels”. Classic funnels keep working and you can switch back any time.
2. **Pick the template**: Open Templates, filter by goal or industry, and pick this template. It opens on the canvas in your Brand Kit colours and fonts, every page ready to edit.
3. **Or let Vonza AI pick it**: Choose “Write it with AI”, describe your offer and who it is for, pick a goal and a tone. Vonza AI picks the template from your brief and writes the copy of every page. It uses AI credits.
4. **Publish**: Fix anything the publish check lists, then publish on your Vonza sub-domain or a connected custom domain at /fn/your-address, and share the link, an embed or a QR code.

## The automation recipe that fits

Recipe: Welcome new leads

Use the “Welcome new leads” recipe as a triage flow. It starts when someone becomes a lead, which here means an application came in. The valuable part is the branch: “Only continue if” lets the automation act on an answer, so a qualified application can notify you at once while the rest get a polite email.

1. Trigger: someone becomes a lead in this funnel.
2. Send email: the application was received and when they will hear from you.
3. Only continue if the budget answer is in range; if no, add to a “later” list and stop.
4. Notify me: a note to you with the lead’s answers.
5. Move to stage: Reviewing.

Every recipe is created switched off. Edit it, run “Test run” to send everything to yourself, then switch it on.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is an application funnel?

An application funnel qualifies people before a call. Instead of a booking link, the first page is a short application form; the second page confirms the application was received and that someone will reply. The Vonza template has those two steps, built for an agency or services firm.

### What can the application form ask?

Email is always asked. Name and phone are optional, and you can add up to ten questions as short text, long text, a number or a pick-one choice, plus a consent tick box. Answers are kept on the lead’s record in the funnel’s pipeline, where you can filter and move leads between stages.

### How do I review applications?

Every application is a lead in the funnel’s Leads list, as a board or a table, filterable by stage, UTM source, medium, campaign and sign-up date. Move a lead between stages, add it to a list, email or SMS up to 200 leads at a time, or export the list to CSV.

### Can the funnel book the call?

The confirmation page can link to your booking page, and an automation can send the booking link by email only to applications that pass a rule, using “Only continue if” on an answer. The application step itself collects answers; it does not book a time.

### Which designs can the application page use?

Six: Photo beside the invitation, Full-bleed photo, Card over a photo, Video first, Minimal, and “Who it’s for, with reviews”. Every one carries the application form; they differ in how the invitation is laid out. The confirmation page has the six thank-you designs.

### Can I share this funnel with a client who is also on Vonza?

Yes, on plans that include sharing. “Share with Vonzanites” sends a copy to another Vonza creator by email or sub-domain; they accept it as a draft with the steps, pages, flow and automations. Products and plans, pixels, split tests, leads and domain settings are not copied.
