Alex & Pooh are joined by Kerry Moorse, founder of Funnel Sketches, to break down one of the most overused (and often misunderstood) buzzwords in online business funnels.
Carrie shares her journey from being a digital nomad and funnel strategist to building Funnel Sketches into a fast-growing platform helping entrepreneurs simplify their systems and grow with intention.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
A funnel is simply the journey from someone not knowing you → to buying from you → to becoming a repeat customer.
Every business already has a funnel the key is making it intentional.
Shiny-object syndrome kills growth. Consistency beats constant switching.
Building trust and connection is more powerful than pushing ads.
Your audience doesn’t need to be big the right people matter more than numbers.
Organic growth often comes from collaborations, consistency, and giving away value.
Keep it simple: small wins build momentum better than half-finished strategies.
Ethical marketing and staying true to your values will attract the right clients, even if it takes longer.
BEST MOMENTS
“Simple works. The easier you make it for yourself and your clients, the faster you’ll grow.” 
“Everyone already has a funnel, even if they don’t realize it. The trick is to make it intentional.”
“Ads don’t fix a broken system. They only amplify what you’re already doing.”

In todays episode, Alex reveals why the old rent-to-rent and Airbnb hosting model is no longer the smart play in today’s saturated short-term rental market. Instead, the future belongs to connectors – people who own the demand, not the properties.
Alex breaks down how to build a booking agency that links high-value corporate clients with existing property operators, creating predictable, scalable income without the stress, risk, or capital outlay of running units yourself. You’ll discover how to leverage AI, funnels, and relationships to secure repeat business worth tens of thousands per year – and why this pivot could be the most important move you make in 2025.
 
THE AIRBNB BLUEPRINT CONSULTANT – CONTACT UShttps://airbnbblueprint.co.uk/guide/
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The rent-to-rent Airbnb model is saturated, risky, and regulation-prone.
The connector model removes property overhead and replaces it with relationship leverage.
Focus on B2B markets like contractors, relocation agents, and insurance companies.
You can run this model without rent, cleaners, or platform dependency.
Build a simple landing page and funnel to collect and qualify leads.
Use AI tools like ChatGPT, Zapier, and Go High Level to automate 24/7.
Repeat corporate clients can be worth £30k–£50k+ annually.
More units ≠ more freedom; more clients = more leverage.
Real-life examples prove this model can replace hosting income quickly.
 
BEST MOMENTS
“Owning properties doesn’t give you freedom – owning demand does.”
“We’ve flipped the model on its head. Instead of depending on a platform, we’ve become the platform.”
“You’re not limited by your calendar, your city, or how many hours you work – only by how many people you can help.”
“The people who win in this next chapter won’t be the ones with the most properties, they’ll be the ones with the most clients.”

In this episode, Alex looks at why so many property entrepreneurs are still putting all of their time and energy into managing properties for a 15% commission, when they could instead source leads. A business model that will make you just as much money with a fraction of the risk, stress and time involved in sourcing, setting up and running your own Airbnb properties.
If you're ready to ditch the property management stress and earn more with less work, start by listening to this short episode. Alex explains exactly how to get started and do so with very little capital. He also shares a simple way for you to greatly accelerate the rate at which
you can make this lucrative property business model work for you.
THE AIRBNB BLUEPRINT CONSULTANT - CONTACT US
https://welcome.airbnbblueprint.co.uk
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sourcing leads is far easier and less time-consuming than running your own Airbnb properties.
The list of clients who need accommodation is almost endless. It includes, construction firms, insurance companies, language schools, healthcare providers and many more.
Unlike buying and managing your own property, there is no limit to how many leads you can generate.
You don't have to worry about cleaning the property, handling all those guest complaints, or responding to maintenance issues.
You only need a few hundred in capital to get started with accommodation lead sourcing.
There is virtually no stress involved with this business model.
The key to success is building a good sales funnel and building strong relationships.
Alex & Pooh provide an easy-to-follow program that makes it easy to build a system that helps you to find high quality clients who will use your service again and again.
BEST MOMENTS
“Why not take the path of least resistance and make the same 15% commission, but while doing much less work?”
“That´s the beauty of this business, it´s smart work not hard work.”
“When you’re managing properties, you’re limited by how many properties you can handle atonce.”
“Just to keep things running smoothly you inevitably get caught in that hamster wheel.”
“There's no limit to how many leads you can source.”
“It's a relationship business, not a transactional one.”
“Once that deal is done, you simply sit back and collect your commission.”
“We give you all of the core principles behind sourcing leads. How to create consistency and how to automate the process.”

In this episode, Alex &Pooh discuss something they both have experience of – the shiny penny syndrome. They both chewed their way through a lot of money taking multiple courses, without fully following through or signing up for courses that were out of date or poorly supported. They share how they broke out of this negative cycle, found a trustworthy and supportive provider who taught them a business model that enabled them to finally begin making money – a lot of money.
They explain how to work out whether a course/business model is likely to work for you before you invest a lot of time and money into learning it. As well as how to stay focused on one thing at a time so you can truly master it and maximise what you get out of each course.
THE AIRBNB BLUEPRINT CONSULTANT - CONTACT US
https://welcome.airbnbblueprint.co.uk
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lots of people chew through all of their savings by taking course after course, many of which are utter rubbish.
Shiny Penny Syndrome, flipping from one business model to another without following through, will waste a lot of your time and money.
Sticking with one model and seeing things through teaches you more than flitting from one thing to another.
Understand that not all business models are going to be right for you e.g. to use lease options effectively, you need to be a confident deal maker.
Before signing up, use free research to find out as much as you can about the money-making method you are considering learning.
As you do your research, make a list of questions.
Ask the training company questions and keep asking until you feel sure you understand what you are signing up for.
BEST MOMENTS
“I thought, ‘How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been duped so easily and bought into such utter bulls**t.”
“Just keep going in that one direction and there is a very high probability that you will get there.”
“It's good to start small and then just kind of slowly work your way up.”
“You can't just do it because you think you're going to make loads of money. It's not going to work. You need to have some passion for it.”
“To make lease options work, you need to be a certain kind of person. You need to have the character traits to be able to confidently, like, walk into an agent and deliver a crystal-clear pitch .”

In this episode, Alex & Pooh discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding getting startedwith property development. Including the fact that even if you decide to enter the marketusing the rent-to-rent model you will still need to make a significant upfront investment,which with the current levels of competition is also going to be quite risky. They then outlinea way to make money out of property that requires hardly any of the upfront investment orrisk – lead generation. THE AIRBNB BLUEPRINT CONSULTANT - CONTACT US https://welcome.airbnbblueprint.co.uk   KEY TAKEAWAYS Owning property is still a good way to make money and pass something onto yourkids, but it is far from the only way to make cash from property. Typically, the rent-to-rent model costs circa £8,000 upfront. Lead generation requires hardly any up-front costs yet still offers you a way to earn asubstantial income. Once you know what you are doing, lead generation is a low stress way to earn aliving. If you are doing lead generation, be realistic. As with any thing you are new to it willtake time to learn and get your first lead, but from there you will typically gainmomentum. No matter how mature your lead generation business is, there will be times whenbookings are slow, at which point you will need to work harder and innovate. Operating ethically is essential if you want to be successful. Both hosts and clientsneed to know they can trust you. If they have any doubts, they will quickly goelsewhere. You need to be prepared to do your due diligence. BEST MOMENTS“There are things you can do with property to start generating really good cash flow andincome to replace your job or salary, without needing much money upfront.”“People still say - rent to rent is the right way to get into property if you don't have anymoney, which simply isn't true.” “I’ve seen it too often where people spend the money thats not theirs first…then have torefund it back to the client.”“We are always 100% transparent with all with of our partners.”“We're not trying to squeeze everybody to death, that’s unethical, but we’re trying to makesure that everybody wins so we can keep repeating the business again and again.”LINKSFREE Airbnb Blueprint Coaching Community -https://www.facebook.com/groups/2342454789487705 HOST BIOSAlex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years. -This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle bydesign.’Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his timeat home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunnySpain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.This Podcast has been brought to you by Disruptive Media. https://disruptivemedia.co.uk/

In this episode, Alex & Pooh discuss how to determine which partners and clients you shouldbe working with. At some point scammers or shady people will target your lead generationservice, it´s just a part of doing business. Alex & Pooh share the details of some of thescams they have seen, as well as how to spot them and make sure you do not become oneof their victims.They explain how to do due diligence, the safest way to handle last minute bookings, THE AIRBNB BLUEPRINT CONSULTANT - CONTACT US https://welcome.airbnbblueprint.co.uk  KEY TAKEAWAYS Having to deal with would-be scammers or shady characters is sadly almostinevitable for lead generators. You need to be accommodating, but when it comes to taking payment late, you needto really know that company well before you can consider doing that. Last minute bookings are not that uncommon. Which means occasionally the clientwill be in the property before the payment goes through the banking system e.g. atthe weekend. Only take payments via bank transfer to avoid card payment clawbacks. Carefully vet your hosts. Alex & Pooh explain how they have handled specificscenarios. Be organized you need to carefully track both sides of the transaction, how and whenyour client paid and the same for the host you use. Protect yourself with partnership contracts. Alex & Pooh explain how you can accesstheir training and downloads to learn more about these contracts. Airbnb takes a long time to handle claims. BEST MOMENTS“We have to do a lot of due diligence on who our clients are and our partners too.”“Sometimes they try to book with you then they don’t pay.”“It´s hard to fake listings with a substantial number of reviews behind them.” “You´re gonna speak to quite a few people to make sure you understand the rate and thatit’s reasonable.”“If you don’t know everything that’s going on and how every booking is meant to work, youcan just get screwed.” LINKSFREE Airbnb Blueprint Coaching Community -https://www.facebook.com/groups/2342454789487705 HOST BIOSAlex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years. -This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle bydesign.’Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his timeat home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunnySpain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.This Podcast has been brought to you by Disruptive Media. https://disruptivemedia.co.uk/
