MARKETING & SALES FUNNEL

Simplify and quantifies each step of the customer journey. It is the process of turning a lead into a customer, from a marketing (and sales) perspective. From the awareness stage when someone learns about the business, to the purchase stage, to post-purchase – satisfaction, word of mouth and customer retention. A funnel is a fundamental way for any business to model their marketing and sales systems to work together to first connect with a lead and then convert that prospect into a customer.

“The marketers’ goal is to funnel prospects into buyers, moving them from the top to the bottom of the funnel. The shape reflects the fact that a large number of people will never complete the journey through the funnel.” (Sapian & Vyshnevska, 2019)
