Is your lead generation strategy working the way it should? If you don’t have a clear map of the customer journey, chances are you’re relying on guesswork, and missing growth opportunities. A structured sales funnel creates predictability, strengthens customer relationships, and drives consistent revenue.
Think of your funnel as a roadmap. It helps potential customers move from first discovering your brand to making a confident purchase decision. By focusing on each stage, you can attract the right people, guide their research, and ultimately improve conversions.
At this stage, potential customers know they have a problem, but they may not know your business exists. Your focus should be on visibility and education, not selling.
