• Decision Phase – prospects make a final decision to purchase.

• Repurchase Phase – in which a customer repurchases a product or service.

This is one example of how a sales funnel could be. Depending on the market, such as B2B, there may be other phases such as when considering reestablishing a contract or subscription.

Why are Sales Funnels Important?

Sales funnels offer a visualization of a customer’s journey with your business. It often looks like an inverted pyramid which examines the top-of-funnel (i.e. leads) and the pathway to the bottom of the funnel (i.e. sales).  

The top of the funnel employs marketing strategies such as demand generation.

The entire funnel requires ongoing evaluation to carefully orchestrate the journey from initial contact with your business, educating them on your products and services, responding to doubts and questions, and, finally, closing a sale.

Your conversion focused journey starts here.
