Let’s review a popular 6-stage sales funnel that we often use for our Clients:
Before selling anything, you must ensure your prospects are aware of your products/services. A wide range of tactics should be used to reach new prospects:
New prospects know little or nothing about your brand; and are not necessarily ready to buy anything, yet. The main goal for this stage is to NOT SELL. Rather, we want to grab their attention and spark their desire to learn more about you.
Example: phlearn.com is running very affordable social media ads:
Once a prospect clicks your ad, engages with your brand or visits your website, it becomes critically important to retain his attention by creating an amazing buyers journey.

It is a true alchemy to place multiple elements, in the proper order, with compelling messaging on your website. After all, you’ve got to educate prospects enough to make them interested in learning more.

The following creative tactics keep real people engaged in real ways:

At this stage there is still a tiny doubt, and a last reassurance is needed. The following tactics works great at this stage:
Example: for checkout at this website’s store: we integrated several reassurance icons such as discreet shipping, free US shipping, etc.
