The Power Of Funneling

You've probably heard about sales funnel or marketing funnel. I prefer the term “marketing funnel” for a reason I will make known shortly.

Many business people may have heard about marketing funnel but they don't quite understand the concept. If you belong here, YOU NEED TO PAY A SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THIS. It's extremely simplified here.

To start with, let me reiterate the point of the title: Marketing funnel is the greatest secret ever for getting new customers and clients to any business.

Note that this is mainly for customer/client acquisition. As for customer/client retention, you need a good customer care - which we are going to discuss on a soon-to-come occasion. But, here's one of the best summaries of the matter by Brad Schweig...

Meanwhile, here's a good collection of customer service quotes to help you. So...

What Is Marketing Funnel In Simple Language?

For you to begin to understand the phrase “marketing funnel”, do this…👇👇👇

1. Think of a normal plastic funnel that you use to get a costly liquid into a can.

2. Think of how the funnel channels the liquid until the liquid gets into the can AS DESIRED.

That's like what good marketing funnels do: They direct prospects from step to step to TAKE A DESIRED ACTION in favor of a brand.

Image credit: Wikipedia

Such a DESIRED ACTION could be any of these:

Buy a product
Fill an online form
Download an app
Visit a web page
Follow a social media account
Etc

As you can see, BUYING a product right away is just one of the desired actions a prospect may take. It's why I prefer the term ‘marketing funnel’ to just ‘sales funnel’.

The DESIRED ACTION in each context would depend on a number of factors, such as:

A unique marketing goal
The product or brand in question
The target audience
Etc.

What Is A Good Marketing Funnel?

A perfect physical funnel is one in which the liquid you are pouring ALL gets SAFELY into the can. So, the quality of a funnel can be measured by the amount of the liquid that ends up inside the can.

A poor funnel is one in which the liquid LEAKS OUT before getting into the can. Therefore, the poverty of a funnel can be measured by the amount of the liquid that LEAKS OUT before getting into the can.

The quality and poverty of a marketing funnel is VERY SIMILAR to the quality and poverty of a physical funnel. See how👇👇👇

Just the way physical funnels are used to direct liquids into cans, marketing funnels are also used to direct prospects until they take DESIRED ACTIONS. The quality of a marketing funnel can therefore be measured by the number of people it succeeds in getting to take the DESIRED ACTION in question at last.

Bad marketing funnels are ridden with leaking points through which leads fall off at various levels.

A leaky marketing funnel is the reason behind any failed marketing project. And there are many of these out there.

How To Design A Good Marketing Funnel For Your Business?

A lot of things are involved in designing a good marketing funnel. But, it all boils down to an effective content strategy applied in a unique marketing context. It involves getting into the minds of the leads and guiding them subtly every step of the way.

I hope to have occasion soon to share more details on designing good marketing funnels. For now, if you need to have a marketing funnel implemented for your business, I'd work one-on-one with you or your team. So, reach out to me here on LinkedIn or, email awakedigest@gmail.com.

If I am available to work with you immediately, I will let you know. Otherwise, I will let you know when I'd be available. Thank you.

Who Is Servicing Bianca Ojukwu?

Bianca and Emeka on their wedding day in 1994. Image credit: Punch Newspapers I think it's unfair of anyone to expect a beautiful woman like Bianca Ojukwu to have stayed sexually chaste since the demise of her famous warlord husband 13 years ago. So, let nobody scratch that area. Or, if you still think she should have remained sexually chaste since 2011, you're free to make your point clear at the comments section👇. After all, we're in a democracy. Let's Continue... In the absence of any contrary opinion so far, let me continue with the established premise. I was saying that the goddess Bianca Ojukwu is expected to have a romantic partner/partners over the years. Same thing should apply to other wives of famous people who are dead or incarcerated. Such as Nnamdi Kanu's wife. If Uchechi Okwu Kanu has remained sexually chaste since late June 2021 when her husband went into his current incarceration, I would praise her to high heavens. But, if she has not, well, I wo...

How To Handle Your Haters: A Lesson From Bill Gates And His Daughter (2)

Bill and Phoebe Gates. Image credit: Business Insider Do you know what? I learned that, growing up, Bill Gates was too small for his age and was often bullied at school and on the streets. As a result, he had very few friends - no more than two per time. As related in the archives , young Bill was a recluse who spent hours cocooned in his room. Once, during such a social withdrawal, his mom asked after him over the intercom, and Bill shouted back, “ I'm thinking… Have you ever tried thinking? ” The fact is: Young Bill Gates didn't have many friends. Unknown to him, many of his peers snubbed him because a rumor spread around town that “ Bill is the weirdest guy that God ever made ”. As acknowledged by Washington Post's Mark Leibovich, the real issue was that the boy Bill Gates III was an infant prodigy. As a result, he just couldn't get along with most of his peers and vice versa. But, it hardly became an issue to him because his attention was essentially somewhere else....

Another Blow On Igbo-Yoruba Rivalry

Chauvinism is the big dent on Africa One day, some generations of Africans will remember that it was decades of unhealthy rivalry among their ancestors that made them lose their place in the committee of humans. Unfortunately, those "ancestors" will point back to you and me. This must happen unless today's generation of Africans take the bull by the horns and walk the uncommon road. For example, they must look each other in the face and decide to unite, form a common front and fight their common enemies. The Famous Igbo-Yoruba Rivalry As A Case In Point Recently, many Nigerians of goodwill genuinely mourned the passing of one of the few icons ever thrown up from the Nigerian political space. His name? Professor Humphrey Nwosu. Late Prof. Humphrey Nwosu. Image credit: USAfricaonline.com What makes Late Professor Humphrey Nwosu so iconic? It is the historical fact that he defied a military junta and insisted on letting basic democratic procedures be followed. So, he announc...

NIGERIA: Possible Strategies President Tinubu Is Using To Pocket The Country As He Did Lagos

Image source: The Southern Examiner I visited Festac Town Lagos in 2006 when Tinubu held sway as the state governor. One thing I noticed without anyone telling me was this high austerity level in the air - which contrasted sharply with my experiences in a couple other parts of the country. When I asked, I was told that the 3D suffering levels were as a result of The Obasanjo Federal Government withholding the allocation due to the state. I couldn't understand it because I always knew Lagos as a mega state with such a humongous IGR that it could function beyond average even without any federal allocation. It took me over a decade before I realized what the man was actually doing then under the noses of millions of citizens. I remembered to revisit this issue because I see now a reenactment of what happened in Lagos in those days. The only difference I see is that then, it happened at a state level but now it is happening at the national level. Here are some of the strate...
