The four stages are: awareness, interest, decision, and action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The first stage, <strong>awareness<\/strong>, is at the very top of the pyramid. It\u2019s where customers first become aware of your business and products or services.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The next stage, <strong>interest<\/strong>, refers to when a customer is comparing business options before making a decision.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The third stage, <strong>decision<\/strong>, is when the customer has reached the decision-making stage and is ready to choose a company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The last stage, <strong>action<\/strong>, refers to when the customer is ready to act and pay for a product or service.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll want to develop a sales strategy around each of these four stages, attracting customers before they even know what your brand is with a good marketing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach, standing out from the competition when a prospect is weighing competitors, offering an incentive to go with your company when the customer reaches the decision-making stage, and staying engaged even if it\u2019s clear a customer will buy from your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some sales funnels go beyond this model to help you keep current customers happy. It\u2019s important to consider this when coming up with a sales and marketing strategy to ensure current customers don\u2019t drop off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ways_to_Build_a_Leading_Sales_Funnel\"><\/span>5 Ways to Build a Leading Sales Funnel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Dig_into_the_data\"><\/span>1. Dig into the data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re building out customer personas, analyzing buying habits of customers in similar industries, or reviewing recent purchasing trends, it\u2019s important to know more about the customers in your line of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you own a moving company and find the target demographic in your area is families, you can cater your advertising to attract more families to your business. Likewise, if you learn younger generations are more interested in a product your company makes, you can consider engaging with Gen Z on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> apps like TikTok or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realestatewitch.com\/millennial-marketing-2023\/\">millennials<\/a> on apps like Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Create_a_top-notch_marketing_strategy\"><\/span>2. Create a top-notch marketing strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know more about your target customers, you can create ad campaigns, social media posts, videos, and content pieces that speak to your key demographic. When creating ads, think about your audience\u2019s key pain points, how your product or service solves this problem, and why you\u2019re different from the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use targeted ads to better reach the specific audiences you\u2019re narrowing in on. Be sure to also keep track of your ad performance to see which ads customers are responding to most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you research what your competitors are doing, too. You\u2019ll want to review their social media platforms to see how their customers are responding to their posts. Keep note of any unanswered questions or frustrations customers bring up. This can help you stand out by offering a distinct voice and option for prospective customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond ads, you might consider a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mailshake.com\/blog\/power-dialer\/\">power dialer<\/a> as a step up from cold calling to help you find customers interested in your offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Send_your_prospects_to_a_winning_website\"><\/span>3. Send your prospects to a winning website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After sparking a prospect\u2019s interest, you\u2019ll want to send them to your website or dedicated landing page. It&#8217;s smart to include more information on your website about how your offering solves a problem the customer might be experiencing and why they should buy from you rather than a competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you also show detailed photos of the product or service, provide an overview, and offer more in-depth content users can access if they want to learn more. Consider including interactive elements like videos or product demos, infographics, and user reviews.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If prospects can buy the product or service outright, include a link to add it to their cart or a call to action explaining what they should do next. Try to put this all on one page to make it as easy as possible for the customer to take the next step. If the process feels too complicated, some prospects may drop out of the funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to test your website or landing page on desktop and mobile. More customers shop directly from smartphones now, so you\u2019ll want to ensure your website is optimized for both experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Keep_in_contact\"><\/span>4. Keep in contact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the prospect buys your product or service, stay in touch with them by sending them a thank you email and adding them to your email <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>letter list (make sure they can opt-out if they choose). This allows you to keep in touch if your company has sales, deals, or new product launches down the road. You might also send an email asking them to leave a review to encourage new prospects to purchase one of your products down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might also consider adding a sign-up form to your landing page, so a prospect can learn more about your offerings even if they don\u2019t decide to make a purchase right away. In this case, you might want to reach out with promotional codes, one-time discounts, or other incentives to get them to buy from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Continue_refining_your_process\"><\/span>5. Continue refining your process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure to tighten up your sales process constantly to better fit your <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jotform.com\/blog\/business-goals\/\">business goals<\/a>. Review your data regularly to determine if you should adjust your ad strategy, or if you should expand or narrow your targeted ad field. Review your website or landing page metrics for more than just visitor counts \u2014 you can also view your click-through rates and see where users might stumble on your page. If you notice an issue, try launching a test version of the page to see if it performs better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Featured Image by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@austindistel?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Austin Distel<\/a> on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/three-men-sitting-while-using-laptops-and-watching-man-beside-whiteboard-wD1LRb9OeEo?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n                            <\/div><br><div class=\"author-inner\">\n<p class=\"bio-name\">Luke Babich<\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n    Luke Babich is the Co-Founder of Clever Real Estate, a real estate education platform committed to helping home buyers, sellers and investors make smarter financial decisions.\r\n\r\nLuke is a licensed real estate agent in the State of Missouri and his research and insights have been featured on BiggerPockets, Inman, the LA Times, and more.\r\n\r\nEducation: B.A. with Honors, Political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a> \u2014 Stanford University<\/div>\n<!-- social-link -->\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n<blockquote><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
