The Sales Funnel For Effective Online Marketing
The sales funnel has been an essential element of traditional marketing and business for many years. I have noticed that funnels for Internet businesses are becoming more well-known.
People want to learn more about the marketing concept and the ways it could be used in their online business marketing efforts. You can read further to find out more about how to use the sales funnel for Internet marketing.
The Sales Funnel - What exactly is it?
A marketing funnel is not an actual funnel. For this marketing concept, "funnel", is used to describe and visualize the entire process of selling. It is a wide opening for customers who are called "Unqualified Prospects" at its top and a smaller opening for conversion sales at the bottom. This is a great comparison.

The "unqualified prospects", also known as those who aren't qualified, will be in the middle of the funnel. These are people who might require your product or service but haven't been contacted prior to. At the end of the funnel, several sales and offers later, you've gotten folks who've obtained the product or service you offer and have made purchases as well.
Another reason why the idea of a lead generation funnel is effective is because it makes it possible to track your prospects' actions throughout the sales process. It is possible to predict the potential number of customers through the sales funnel, by knowing the numbers of prospects who are qualified at each stage of the process.
It is possible to make use of the sales funnel to identify the areas and ways in which your sales procedure is succeeding or failing, and whether you're not attracting enough customers. This information helps you choose the best place to focus your efforts to ensure that sales are on the right level and that you are meeting your the marketing objectives. It is used to track and control the sales process of customers.
The Sales Funnel Top Front or End
The top of your sales funnel must be the most active part of your process. This requires constant testing. There are virtually endless front-end strategies limited only by your creativity and resources.
The main objective of the front-end is going to be to draw potential customers and turn them into buyers later on in the sales process.
When a potential customer decides to sign up for your offer, they become "qualified". This is when of the sales funnel where the prospective customer, or "Unqualified Prospect" is qualified leads due to an action they have the potential to purchase the product or service you offer.
You must drive targeted traffic on your website, blog or squeeze page in order for your front-end to work. The most efficient methods and resources for doing this include article marketing, PPC adverts, social media (Google+, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube) banners, blogging, forum posting as well as content marketing.
There are many methods to "qualify" one of them, the "Unqualified prospect". The most efficient is the squeeze page. Here you can offer something valuable that is related to your product/service that people are able to get for no cost or at a reduced price in exchange of their email. Products offered include newsletters as well videos, eBooks, email courses and related reports.
This indicates that customers are attracted to your sales channel on the front end. What do you think of the back-end?
The Back-End or Bottom of The Funnel
The back-end (or bottom) of the sales channel is where the majority of sales and profits take place. This area usually includes your most expensive products. They are generally appropriate to the same market but delivered in different formats such as video, audio, live interaction or private consultation.
The main difference between front and back-ends lies in the type of client as well as the cost of the product/service being provided.
Although it is the case that only 1 percent of the people who access your front-end will be able connect to your back-end system, this tiny percentage may not matter. This is fine, given the fact that this select few will be investing more money.
It is clear that although front-end products or services are priced below $100, back end products and services are typically priced in the 100s to 1000s. This makes the bottom of the funnel or back-end, the main source for income for your Internet company. It is also the most reliable and secure area of the process of selling.
As I said earlier, the sales funnel can be as flexible as your creativity and resources permit.
