Adventures in Marketland July 6th 😎


We've got a new episode of the Gorgeous Effect, a new Metrics Muse drop, and more in our weekly round-up of content for our Funnel Gorgeous community!

✨The Gorgeous Effect - Your Experience Sets You Apart✨

This week, Julie and Cathy are talking about something that's easy to undervalue: the perspective you get after years of doing the work. That 30,000-foot view where you can see patterns and connections that someone newer just... can't yet.

If you're a designer or a coach (or thinking about hiring one), this matters more than you probably realize. It shows up in how you make decisions, the advice you give, what you charge. All of it.

They share some stories from their own work and walk through why experience isn't just about having done something a bunch of times. It's about what you can see now that you couldn't before. And how to actually use that, whether you're trying to sell your services without feeling weird about it, or you're trying to figure out who's worth bringing onto your team.

​Some useful stuff in here if you've ever wondered whether all those years actually count for something. (They do.)

📊 New Metrics Muse - Ad Reviewer Skill 📊

Most of us write ads hoping they'll attract the right people. But what if your copy is quietly pulling in the wrong audience instead?

This month's drop gives you a simple way to find out. Instead of guessing why an ad is or isn't converting, you'll see exactly who's responding to your message, how well they match your ideal buyer, and what to adjust before your next campaign.

This month's drop includes:

  • Ad Reviewer Skill: A Claude skill that analyzes your ad, identifies who's most likely to respond, and rewrites your messaging for a better-fit buyer.
  • Ad Library: A place to log, score, and review your ads so you can spot patterns and build on what's working.

💪FG Funnels Weekly Announcements 💪

Here are your FG Funnels updates through July 2nd:

  • Rentals - Rentals is officially out of beta and available to all FG Funnels users. Built for businesses that manage bookable inventory — equipment, vehicles, spaces, vacation properties, event setups, and more — Rentals handles the full booking lifecycle in one place.
  • Workflows - You can now write and execute Python code in the Custom Code workflow action, alongside the existing JavaScript runtime. Switch languages from the Language dropdown, use the Snippets menu for ready-made boilerplate (HTTP requests, date/time, Pandas, NumPy, CSV, Base64, crypto, URL handling, and more), and test your code before saving.
  • Client Portal - A new workflow trigger — Client Portal File Uploaded — fires automatically whenever a contact uploads a document through the Client Portal Shared Documents experience. Use it to eliminate manual document monitoring, automate review and compliance workflows, and keep onboarding moving without manual intervention.
