What is a sales funnel?

Create a sales funnel

Many entrepreneurs say they have a 'company', but many have a hobby.
A company makes money and a hobby costs money.
We want to build a company right?

In order to realize this, we have to sell a product or service,

But how do we do this?

For this we need a sales funnel!
A sales funnel is a process where we try to convert visitors to customers.

In order to use a sales funnel well, we need to take 4 steps.

Ready to put this into action?

Start your free journey today — no credit card required.

The 4 steps are:

  1. A lead magnet
    This is a valuable product or e-book you can exchange for an email address
  2. A tripwire
    This is a cheap offer to astound anyone.
    This product creates a bond with the buyer to your business.
  3. The real deal
    This is the normal product you offer
  4. The VIP product
    This is something extra or a VIP version of your normal product.

The point of a sales tunnel is to have visitors convert to loyal customers.
