STEPS FOR CREATING

A COMPLETE
MARKETING AND SALES
FUNNEL
The notion of a complete funnel or integrated sales and marketing
funnel is a variation on the approach we have advocated since our inception:
there is no distinction between sales and marketing. In fact, this is the
foundation of Inbound Sales. It's a one-of-a-kind series of experiences that
encourages a potential consumer to say "yes" to your product or service
offering. To put it another way, "click to shut."
As a result, the most difficult aspect of having a complete funnel is that
it takes both Inbound Marketing and Inbound Sales to provide it. Here is an
8-step strategy to creating a marketing and sales funnel using an inbound
approach to describe what the complete funnel is:

1. Make prospects find you

Google estimates that 9 out of 10 individuals will visit your website


before phoning you. If you hear about a wonderful firm, your first instinct is
often to go to their website.
As a result, your website can no longer function as an electronic
brochure. Today's website should be built to connect your new visitors with
stories, passion, differentiators, and your capacity to help them in less than
10 seconds.
To attract prospects to your business, make them feel secure, and
persuade them to trust you with their contact information, you must grab
their attention, change their status quo, and give instructional material. Your
website simply has one goal: to create leads.

2. Provide a memorable experience

Instead of thinking as a manufacturing, professional services firm, or


software company, imagine yourself as Walt Disney World. What can you do
to make your website such a memorable experience that people desire to
convert and eventually do business with you?
People make emotional purchase decisions before rationalizing them,
therefore your site must absorb them emotionally. You must tell tales, catch
their attention, and get them to browse around, click, and finally convert.
This is not something you do merely for the sake of launching a website or
developing a website. This is a monthly objective that you strive toward.
Examine the site's performance to ensure that all components are operating
to offer the experience we've been discussing.

3. Convert anonymous visitors into leads

Your website's objective is to turn anonymous visitors into leads. The


ideal method is to provide informative information that addresses your
visitors' problems. This entails having a thorough grasp of their purchasing
process, the questions they have, and the problems they confront.
The better your site, content, and conversion route are planned, the
more prospective consumers your site will attract. However, this is a
frequent blunder made by many people. They create a website with little
knowledge of search, content, or conversion. As a result, the site is visually
appealing but does not generate leads. Every site needs a constant
optimization effort to discover and address trouble spots. To enhance site
conversions and leads, fresh, updated pages or new or improved offers are
necessary.

4. Continue to educate them based on their previous experience.

90% of the people that contact you through your website will not be
ready to chat to you. That doesn't make them poor leads; it just means
they're leads at the beginning of their purchasing journey. They should not
be disqualified or discarded. Instead, be willing to foster them.
Nurturing includes continuous email marketing, event invites, and
chances to discuss new offers as they become available. Nurture also
comprises carefully planned activation campaigns, processes, or automated
email sequences that are tailored to the activities that visitors perform on
your website.
If I download this offer, for example, I will receive this set of three
emails for the following nine days. If I attend a webinar, I could get a new set
of three emails in the next nine days. These nurturing efforts are critical for
moving potential clients along the funnel, providing further offers to those
who have indicated interest in your brand, and preparing them for your sales
staff.

5. Guide them through their own purchasing experience to


educate them.
Each of your prospects has their own unique purchasing experience.
This implies you can't force, sell, or direct someone to do anything they don't
want to do. However, this also entails ensuring that you give customers with
information, value, and education throughout the purchasing process.
According to a recent Gartner survey, 74% of C-level buyers picked
the partner who was the first to offer value to their purchase decision. Your
inbound marketing must provide value, and your inbound sales process
must be structured to provide value indefinitely.
Having content that answers your prospects' queries is one of the
finest ways to provide value during the sales process. They will position you
as a trustworthy advisor and help them feel protected as you comprehend
their difficulties and provide them with educational knowledge that makes
them feel clever.

6. Determine who is prepared to make a purchasing choice.

The task isn't over just because you've guided your potential clients
through their purchasing experience and they're ready to choose you. Deep
in the funnel, there are still potholes and ground mines to avoid.
Look for methods to remove roadblocks so that interaction can help
you progress your decision-making. Do a bespoke demo, for example,
displaying only what they want to know. When it comes to allusions, make a
video out of them. All of these little but smart changes to your sales process
may help you cut weeks off of the process and create new clients more
faster.

7. They made a choice: it's you.


There is good news! They'd want to recruit you. This is your
opportunity to request references from individuals who are similar to them.
Wait, you don't believe now is the ideal moment to ask for references? On
the contrary, now is the ideal moment to do so.
We are once again collaborating with others. We take solace in
groupings. As a result, they want as many individuals as possible to confirm
their purchasing choice. In any case, use this chance to ask for the names of
other people who are similar to them and who you may assist. It should be
simple if you had a memorable encounter.

8. Continue to please them.

Some might say that the difficult part has begun. You must deliver on
the promises you made during the sales process.
It is critical because if you promise too much and fail to deliver, you
will not receive the references, suggestions, compliments, and support you
require to keep people on your side. The process's trust and
recommendation component will be broken.
Don't overlook the importance of providing exceptional service and
outstanding products. This is a critical component that must be included in
your marketing. If the delivery is not exceptional, the marketing and sales
effort will become exponentially more difficult and expensive.
The preceding description appears linear, yet it actually circular. The
better you service your clients, the more recommendations you'll get, the
more good feedback you'll get, and the more successful experiences and
testimonials you'll get. Customer recommendations are critical in this
process, and disregarding them will have an impact on your ability to
promote and sell in the future.
Transparency in business is essential in today's society. So, utilize
inbound sales and marketing to attract, educate, and delight your
prospective consumers.
