Funnel Optimization

Sales funnels are tricky. In some ways, they’re like mechanical bull riding competitions. There are so many reasons for the rider to fall off – competing brands, content overload, and their own fears and impatience.

But the ones that stay on, well, they’re the good ones, and they’re going to be yours. That’s why an effective sales funnel doesn’t just bring in mass traffic; it brings in the right traffic, starting out with the good ones, to end up with the best. But the path is long and treacherous, and it requires smart cross-platform remarketing, dynamic value propositions to keep them interested, and lots of analytics to understand what’s working and what isn’t and improve accordingly.

One of the most important parts of any startup business is to make sure that it has a solid sales funnel. It helps attract potential buyers, convert them into leads, and then close those leads into customers. This process relies on many different factors including marketing techniques, social media tactics, design choices, and more.

Since this process has a high number of moving parts, it can be difficult to optimize your funnel without professional help from specialists. This is where we come in.

What is Funnel Optimization?

Let’s talk a little more about what a good funnel looks like.

The Stages of a Sales Funnel

A sales funnel is a way of guiding potential customers to make a purchase that begins with establishing basic awareness of your company, product, or service.

Using AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action), the old familiar marking framework, we can map out this journey.

• Attention – Potentials are made aware of your service.
• Interest – Potentials are shown your service’s unique value, generating interest.
• Desire – Here, potentials become favorable to your service through additional information, appealing to things such as convenience, budget-friendliness, guarantees, etc.
• Action – Finally, the potential becomes a customer by taking action. This can also mean the customer requests a quote, creates an account, or signs up for a trial period.

Why Sales Funnel Optimization is Important for Startups?

A good website sales funnel is always being tweaked and improved to make sure that it’s as effective as possible. Optimization is the process of making these changes and improvements and is crucial for startups looking to break out.

Since startups are often strapped for resources, having an experienced team that understands your business and can make changes to improve your funnel is incredibly valuable. Unfocused optimization will result in lost time and money, so it’s important to have a partner that will work to understand the ins and outs of your business and has the expertise to leverage your company’s strengths efficiently.
