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.
"We don't sell a product. We build you fans."
Jayson Hines didn't start as a marketer. He spent years running an insurance agency alongside building SFM — and when he finally closed the agency in 2023 to go all-in, 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 — 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 — from restaurants in Toledo to contractors in Findlay to boutiques in Lima. And the philosophy hasn't changed one bit since day one.
From boardrooms to brick-and-mortar shops, our team brings the camera, the strategy, and the results — every week.

These aren't marketing buzzwords. They're the actual reasons clients stay with us for years — not months.
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 — the quirks, the seasonal rhythms, the competing businesses, and the customers you're both trying to reach.
Sales Funnel Marketing is amazing. My business social media reach has grown unbelievably which has translated into near triple sales growth in the 3 short months I've used them. I can't recommend Jayson and his team enough.
Jayson did a great job for me! Took over all of my social media accounts and added new ones. He created great videos to help me develop brand recognition. Very happy with his work and communication. Highly recommend!
Jayson knows social platforms. In less than 6 months he turned my social media around — made it more engaging, better content, real results. He understands the analytics and gets results. Thank you Jayson!
Jayson has answered many questions and helped guide us with our small business. He strongly supports small business and believes in the power of networking. Recently hired as our social media manager. Highly recommended.
Jayson at Sales Funnel Marketing is amazing! He's shared so many helpful tips, tricks, and hands-on tools for social media and AI that have really helped me grow my business online presence.
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 — not just to help clients, but to stay sharp and current himself. When AI changes how social media works, SFM already knows about it.
