Nowadays it is said: To be online successful, you must have a compelling sales funnel. The sales funnel is a big trend that has emerged in recent years. To have a compelling sales funnel you must have the right tools. But first of all, you may be wondering what exactly a sales funnel is.

What Is a Sales Funnel?

A Sales Funnel is the process that prospects go through when converting into a customer. The Funnel consists of several stages and at each stage, the potential buyer gets closer to becoming a customer. A funnel accompanies interested clients better than a beautiful website. A beautiful website is not enough to convert prospects into customers. Therefore, a funnel comes into play transforming a passive website into an active system.

Thus, the sales funnel offers the possibility to track the path from the first client contact to the successful conclusion of the deal on the basis of selected key figures. You can use the Sales Funnel to filter out a smaller group of finalists and clients from a larger group of website visitors or prospects in general.

A Successful Customer Journey

The Sales Funnel is directly connected to the Customer Journey. It represents the touch points between companies and customers – not from the company's perspective, but from the customer's perspective. In other words, the customer journey can be described as the way prospects go through when converting into customers.

‍

1.) Awareness

A potential customer recognizes a problem or need, has become aware of your product, and is interested. Here is a large number of interested people.

2.) Consideration

Your potential customer is thinking about buying the product or booking your service. He considers how well it can solve his problem or satisfy his need.

3.) Transaction

The person becomes a customer. The customer buys and uses the product or books your service.

4.) Customer Loyalty & Engagement

Your customer is satisfied with the product and may buy it again. In the best case, your customer tells about your product and recommends it to others.
