#090: What Is A Sales Funnel? (And Why Your Small Business Needs One)


Listen Later

Having a website is necessary for your business to let people know what you offer. But a great website is not a sales strategy. How you relate to your prospective buyer IS.  

The decision-making process is more of a continuum than a single event, and it includes varying levels of awareness about the prospect’s problem as well as your solution. 

Your job is to meet prospects where they’re at in the process, and helpfully guide them to the ultimate decision buy. 

Introducing the sales funnel.
