It’s been just over four years since Dave Woodward took the reins of ClickFunnels, and in that time he has managed to lead it to more than $150 million in annual revenue with no outside funding.
Currently, ClickFunnels is the market’s leading software for small to medium-sized businesses who are looking to scale their revenue. With 150,000 active users every month, ClickFunnels have helped countless entrepreneurs generate millions in annual revenue from using their software. Under Dave’s leadership, ClickFunnels shows no signs of slowing down.
According to Woodward, ClickFunnels’ growth hack lies in their customer-centric culture. Because of this, ClickFunnels has not become a software for their clients, but it has been a way for them to succeed. The company has grown by investing in other businesses and empowering them with the tools they need for success.
Woodward had an impressive career prior to ClickFunnels. He understands what it takes to start and run a great company, and his marketing expertise has transferred well to ClickFunnels. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University and has worked in a variety of industries including real estate, mortgage, and fitness. In 1994, he joined Texas-based Americo as Regional Director. By 2003, he had driven business growth and led expansions in 12 states, leading to its final sale.
2006 was a pivotal year for Dave as he set out to establish himself in the world of online marketing. He was already running his own marketing consultancy firm, Monopolize Inc., but it wasn’t until he met ClickFunnels’ founders Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson at an affiliate seminar that his life was changed forever.
Since 2014, David has been with ClickFunnels. First, as their Chief Revenue and Business Development Officer and eventually, through hardwork and dedication, becoming CEO in 2019.
As CEO, Dave is focused on instilling a customer-centric culture in which employees are empowered to make decisions that best serve their customers. And they don’t stop there, ClickFunnels provides training courses and resources for their clients in order to succeed in today’s digital world. As a result, ClickFunnels has seen incredible growth and continues to be one of the top players in the online marketing space.
In the end, Dave is grateful for his wife, church and mentors. He would not be on this entrepreneurial journey without their guidance. “I don’t know if I could have done it all by myself. So many people helped me along the way, but none more than my beautiful wife, Carrie who has been there every step of the way with love and support to help me through life.”
