Based in Perrysburg, Ohio ยท Since 2017

We're not a
faceless agency.

Sales Funnel Marketing was built on one idea: that real relationships convert better than any algorithm. We've been proving it for local businesses across Northwest Ohio since 2017.

Jayson Hines, founder of Sales Funnel Marketing
Jayson Hines
Founder & Lead Strategist
Sales Funnel Marketing ยท Est. 2017

Built from scratch.
Grown through real relationships.

Jayson Hines didn't start as a marketer. He spent years running an insurance agency โ€” and when he sold it in 2017, he had one thing other agencies didn't: he knew exactly what it felt like to be the client.

He knew what it felt like to pour money into marketing that didn't convert. To post consistently and hear nothing back. To hire someone who sent you a report full of numbers that didn't translate to actual customers walking through the door.

"I built this agency the same way I help clients build their audiences โ€” not by broadcasting, but by showing up, listening, and genuinely caring about the people in front of me."

Sales Funnel Marketing grew through real relationships: coffee meetings, local networking events, chambers of commerce, and the Networks Cafe community Jayson built to over 1,600 members. Not ads. Not cold outreach. People hiring people they actually trust.

Today, SFM manages social media, ads, and content for 127+ local businesses across Northwest Ohio โ€” from restaurants in Toledo to contractors in Findlay to boutiques in Lima. And the philosophy hasn't changed one bit since day one.

The principles we won't compromise on

These aren't marketing buzzwords. They're the actual reasons clients stay with us for years โ€” not months.

๐Ÿค
Relationships First
We built this agency through real relationships, not cold calls. Every client is a neighbor โ€” not a contract number. When you win, we win, and we take that personally.
๐Ÿ“Š
Results Over Vanity
We don't celebrate follower counts. We celebrate phone calls, booked appointments, and revenue. If our work isn't putting money in your pocket, it's not working.
๐Ÿ˜๏ธ
Local, On Purpose
We specifically serve Northwest Ohio businesses. Not because we can't go national โ€” because we believe in building up our own community first. We shop at your stores. We eat at your restaurants.
๐Ÿ”ฎ
Always Ahead of the Curve
Algorithms change. Platforms shift. AI is reshaping everything. We run monthly workshops and stay at the leading edge so your strategy is never six months behind the industry.
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
Radical Transparency
We tell you what's working and what isn't โ€” in plain English. No reports full of numbers that don't mean anything. No hiding behind "it takes time."
๐Ÿ”’
The 90-Day Guarantee
We're confident enough in our system to back it with a guarantee. Hit agreed benchmarks in 90 days or we work for free until we do. No agency that doesn't believe in their own work offers that.

We don't just market
for this community.
We're part of it.

There's a difference between an agency that happens to work with local businesses and one that's built into the local ecosystem. SFM is the latter. Jayson has been showing up at chamber meetings, networking events, and coffee shops across Northwest Ohio for nearly a decade.

When you work with SFM, you're working with someone who knows your market โ€” the quirks, the seasonal rhythms, the competing businesses, and the customers you're both trying to reach.

Networks Cafe โ€” 1,600+ Members

We stay ahead so
you don't have to.

The biggest risk in social media marketing is working with an agency stuck in 2022. Platforms change. AI is reshaping everything. What worked 18 months ago might be actively hurting you today.

That's why Jayson runs monthly AI education workshops for local business owners โ€” not just to help clients, but to stay sharp and current himself. When AI changes how social media works, SFM already knows about it.
