An Instagram DM sales funnel, step by step

Turn people who comment into customers, without cold messages.

What is an Instagram DM funnel?

An Instagram DM funnel takes someone from a Reel to a conversation to a sale. They comment a word, get a useful DM straight away, reply, and you help them buy.

The automatic DM does the first step. The sale usually happens when you reply in person, within Meta's 24-hour window.
