7 Step Sales Funnel
The de
fi
nition of the sales funnel (also known as a revenue funnel or sales process) refers to the buying process
that companies lead customers through when purchasing products. A sales funnel is divided into several steps,
which differ depending on the particular sales model. One common sales process is divided into seven phases
including:
1. Awareness Phase – in which prospects become aware of the existence of a solution.
2. Interest Phase – in which prospects demonstrate interest in a product by conducting product research.
3. Evaluation Phase – in which prospects or prospect companies examine competitors’ solutions as they inch
toward a
fi
nal buying decision.
4. Decision Phase – In which a
fi
nal decision is reached and negotiation begins.
5. Purchase Phase – in which goods or services are purchased.
6. Reevaluation Phase – in B2B sales it’s common for offerings to involve contracts that need to be renewed. As
a customer becomes familiar with an offering, and especially as a contract draws to a close, a customer will
enter a reevaluation phase during which they’ll decide whether or not to renew their contract.
7. Repurchase Phase – in which a customer repurchases a product or service.
Inside sales managers commonly adopt strategies, tools and tactics aimed at optimizing each stage of their sales
process.

7 Overarching Principles for Industrially-Relevant Tools/Toolkits
Kerr, et al

Monks used the piñatas in the sixteenth century to teach
lessons to the indigenous people of Mexico. Piñatas were
stars with seven points that represented the seven deadly
sins. Beating the piñata showed the struggle against evil,
and once the treats inside fell to the ground, people could
take them home in remembrance of the rewards of keeping
the faith.

7 Sorrows of Mary
1. The Prophecy of Simeon (Luke 2: 34-35): Simeon told Mary that her son would be the rise and fall of many
people and that a sword would pierce her heart so that many would know her thoughts.
2. The Flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13): Joseph responds to a dream to take Mary and Jesus into Egypt to keep
them safe. Today, we pray for the safety and security of all refugees.
3. The loss of the child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:43-45): Mary and Joseph thought Jesus was in the caravan
after leaving Jerusalem. After three days, they found Jesus listening and teaching in the Temple of Jerusalem.
Mary said to Jesus, “Why have you done this to us?”
4. Mary meets Jesus on the way to Calvary (Luke 23: 26-32): Jesus, carrying his cross told the women of Jerusalem
not to weep for him, but for themselves and their children.
5. Jesus dies on the cross (John 19:25): Mary and John are bonded by the words of Jesus. The Church is born in
this moment from su
ff
ering and relationship.
6. Mary receives the body of Jesus in her arms (Matthew 27:57-59): Mary receives her inconsolable su
ff
ering, the
body of her son.
7. The body of Jesus is placed in the tomb (John 19:40-42): Mary and Jesus’ disciples stand together in their loss.

Seven Deadly Words
We have always done it that way

Book of Revelation by John
One would
fi
nd it di
ffi
cult and repulsive to visualize a lamb with
seven horns and seven eyes; yet Jesus Christ is described in
precisely such words (Rev 5:6). The author used these images to
suggest Christ’s universal (seven) power (horns) and knowledge
(eyes).
A signi
fi
cant feature of apocalyptic writing is the use of symbolic
colors, metals, garments (Rev 1:13–16; 3:18; 4:4; 6:1–8; 17:4; 19:8),
and numbers (four signi
fi
es the world, six imperfection, seven totality
or perfection, twelve Israel’s tribes or the apostles, one thousand
immensity).

What is the Seventh Generation Principle?
May 29, 2012
The Seventh Generation Principle is based on an ancient Iroquois philosophy that the decisions we make today
should result in a sustainable world seven generations into the future. This extremely prescient philosophy is
currently somewhat overused as a “green” marketing ploy to sell everything from dish soap to cars.
The
fi
rst recorded concepts of the Seventh Generation Principle date back to the writing of The Great Law of
Iroquois Confederacy, although the actual date is undetermined, the range of conjectures place its writing
anywhere from 1142 to 1500 AD. The Great Law of Iroquois Confederacy formed the political, ceremonial, and
social fabric of the Five Nation Confederacy (later Six). The Great Law of Iroquois Confederacy is also credited as
being a contributing in
fl
uence on the American Constitution, due to Benjamin Franklin’s great respect for the
Iroquois system of government, which in itself is interesting from the perspective that the United States formed
their Constitution not on the principles of European governments, but rather on that of a people considered
“savages”.
The Seventh Generation Principle today is generally referred to in regards to decisions being made about our
energy, water, and natural resources, and ensuring those decisions are sustainable for seven generations in the
future. But, it can also be applied to relationships - every decision should result in sustainable relationships seven
generations in the future.

John’s 7 steps to be the Breath of Fresh Air
that will energize your
fi
rm and increase pro
fi
ts
1.Perform due diligence as a buyer would—see the business as a buyer sees it.
2.Identify and eliminate dependencies that decrease value—uncover those
common dependencies that decrease value and eliminate them now.
3.Reenergize your team—be a Breath of Fresh Air to your
fi
rm by acting like a
new buyer.
4.Exploit growth opportunities—buyers buy companies because they see growth
potential that has not been maximized;
fi
nd that potential and grow.
5.Marketability assessment—who is the logical buyer, how do you best attract
them, how do you position the business for them (exit planning).
6.Market assessment of value—what range of value does the business have post
Great Recession?
7.Take Action—CEOs and owners agree that having the strategy is easier than
implementing it correctly. When you (pretend to) buy your business you will
immediately take action like a buyer would.

The seven “I am” statements recorded in the gospel of John
The seven “I am” statements recorded in the gospel of John are Christ’s own
descriptions of Himself. They’re metaphors He uses to draw out imagery that
describes the implications of His identity. Jesus says, “I am the bread of life” (6:35);
“the light of the world” (8:12); “the gate” (10:9); “the good shepherd” (10:11); “the
resurrection and the life” (11:25-26); “the way and the truth and the life” (14:6); and
“the vine” (15:5).

A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for. First female admiral

How great the lengths of God’s forgiveness, how clear the call to
follow the example of the Lord, and how stark the consequences
of refusing to forgive! As Christians, our forgiveness should be
limitless, as we must forgive, “Not seven times, but, I tell you,
seventy-seven times” (which in Biblical numerology is an
unmistakable symbol of completeness and perfection).
Peter approached Jesus and said to him, “Lord,
if another member of the church sins against
me, how often should I forgive? As many as
seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven
times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.

7-70 Rule -- if you want to make software-like margins in any industry (something like
70% gross, 20% net) you need to identify and dominate a narrow niche - what we call the
7-70 Rule. Find a niche no bigger than 10% within a broader industry then own 70% of that
niche. For instance, IKEA, at €30 billion in revenue, only has 6.9% share of the furniture
retail industry, yet they own 72% of the highly lucrative "flat packed" segment of the
industry. What niche do you own within your industry? How do you describe it in a couple
words (like "flat packed").

7 Sorrows of Mary
1. The Prophecy of Simeon (Luke 2: 34-35): Simeon told Mary that her son would be the rise and fall of many
people and that a sword would pierce her heart so that many would know her thoughts.
2. The Flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13): Joseph responds to a dream to take Mary and Jesus into Egypt to keep
them safe. Today, we pray for the safety and security of all refugees.
3. The loss of the child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:43-45): Mary and Joseph thought Jesus was in the caravan
after leaving Jerusalem. After three days, they found Jesus listening and teaching in the Temple of Jerusalem.
Mary said to Jesus, “Why have you done this to us?”
4. Mary meets Jesus on the way to Calvary (Luke 23: 26-32): Jesus, carrying his cross told the women of
Jerusalem not to weep for him, but for themselves and their children.
5. Jesus dies on the cross (John 19:25): Mary and John are bonded by the words of Jesus. The Church is born in
this moment from su
ff
ering and relationship.
6. Mary receives the body of Jesus in her arms (Matthew 27:57-59): Mary receives her inconsolable su
ff
ering, the
body of her son.
7. The body of Jesus is placed in the tomb (John 19:40-42): Mary and Jesus’ disciples stand together in their loss.

Menorah with Steven Candles
The Golden Lampstand
31 t“You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand shall be made of
hammered work: its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers shall be of one piece
with it. 32 And there shall be six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the
lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of
it; 33 three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch,
and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other
branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 34 And on the lampstand itself
there shall be four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers, 35 and
a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out from the
lampstand. 36 Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it
a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. 37 You shall make seven lamps for it. And
the lamps ushall be set up so as vto give light on the space in front of it. 38 Its tongs and
their trays shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made, with all these utensils, out of a talent5
of pure gold. 40 And wsee that you make them after the pattern for them, which is being
shown you on the mountain.

Here are seven tips for asking better questions. (And making more sales!)
1. Ask open-ended questions.
Open-ended questions are questions that cannot be answered with just “yes” or “no.”
The other person will be more honest and revealing, when you get better at asking open questions.
2. Get behind the assumptions.
You may have an answer but check to see if it matches theirs
3. Get both sides of the story.
The truth is often somewhere in the middle, isn’t it?
4. Ask follow-up questions.
Play dumb and dig deeper.
5. Get comfortable with “dead air.”
The best answers often come after “the silence”
6. Help people discover their own insights.
That is what the Socratic Method of teaching is all about!
7. Understand the difference between facts and speculation.
It will clarify not just your own thinking but the other person’s as well.

The Seven Elements of Improv
• First, there’s the art of the positive response that gives the book its somewhat awkward title
-Yes,And.
• Second, is the ability to assemble and work effectively in groups - what the authors refer to
as Ensemble.
• Third, an extension of this concept, is Co-Creation - the outcome of effective collaboration.
• Fourth is Authenticity - the willingness to speak your mind, to be unafraid to challenge
conventions or question the rules.
• Fifth is the ability to deal with mistakes and Failure and even turn it to your advantage.
• Sixth is another aspect of leadership - Following the Follower - which relates to the idea
that anyone can assume leadership and guide others in an area where they have expertise.
• And finally there’s a critical quality, much-discussed in business literature these days - the
ability to Listen.

7 Lies of Learning

Seven suggestions to power up and streamline your writing, based on journalistic best practices
1. Shorter words are better than longer words. One-syllable words are more powerful than two- or three-
syllable words. This is especially true in subject lines. Use a simple word wherever you can.
2. Use strong words. Use words with concrete meanings, rather than ab- stract meanings. Words like
“
fi
re,” “botch,” or “crush,” invoke a vivid image, while words like “civics” or “process” don’t invoke
much at all.
3. Don’t use weak words. These are fancy-sounding words that don’t really mean a whole lot. Think
“breadth,” “didactic,” or “salient.” They’re just a cover for a weak message.
4. Don’t use “foggy” words. These are the words that only turn up in a dis- sertation or research paper.
Think “discourse,” “disseminate,” or “posit.” These don’t help make any message clearer.
5. Use active verbs only. This gives your writing a sense of energy, and makes your message clearer.
Compare, “The project was led by Edgar,” to “Edgar led this project.”
6. Use short, punchy phrases. “Sales plummeted.” “We lost.” Or “Edgar out as project leader.”
7. Edit, edit, and then edit some more. Sometimes we fall in love with our own prose. Be ruthless and cut
all extraneous words.

Seven Circles
The Focusing Question
What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it
everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
The Focusing Question can be applied to each of what we call The Seven Circles, important areas of your life that affect one another.
The seven circles are:
1.Spiritual Life
2.Physical Health
3.Personal Life
4.Key Relationships
5.Your Job
6.Your Business
7.Your Finances
You can apply the focusing question to one of the Seven Circles by following this process:
1.Determine the category of which of the Seven Circles you’re going to focus on
2.State the beginning of The Focusing Question
3.Add a time frame
4.End by adding “such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary”
Here is an example of how to use The Focusing Question with one of The Seven Circles:

seven characteristics of heavenly wisdom are noted: it’s pure, peace-loving, considerate,
submissive, merciful, impartial, and sincere.
According to James 3:13, “humility”—in contrast to “envy and selfish
ambition” (v. 14)—is at the core of wise living. Comparing the description of
earthly wisdom in verses 14–16 to heavenly wisdom in verse 17 is like moving
from earth’s dark shadows into heaven’s brilliant light. In verse 17

7 Sorrows of Mary
Moreau often stressed the importance of conforming one’s entire life to Christ, which Mary models through her seven sorrows:
The Prophecy of Simeon (Luke 2: 34-35): Simeon told Mary that her son would be the rise and fall of many people and that a sword would pierce her heart so that
many would know her thoughts.
The Flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13): Joseph responds to a dream to take Mary and Jesus into Egypt to keep them safe. Today, we pray for the safety and security of
all refugees.
The loss of the child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:43-45): Mary and Joseph thought Jesus was in the caravan after leaving Jerusalem. After three days, they found
Jesus listening and teaching in the Temple of Jerusalem. Mary said to Jesus, “Why have you done this to us?”
Mary meets Jesus on the way to Calvary (Luke 23: 26-32): Jesus, carrying his cross told the women of Jerusalem not to weep for him, but for themselves and their
children.
Jesus dies on the cross (John 19:25): Mary and John are bonded by the words of Jesus. The Church is born in this moment from suffering and relationship.
Mary receives the body of Jesus in her arms (Matthew 27:57-59): Mary receives her inconsolable suffering, the body of her son.
The body of Jesus is placed in the tomb (John 19:40-42): Mary and Jesus’ disciples stand together in their loss.

Let Us Be ONE
• Unity is Paul’s clear emphasis in Ephesians 4:4-6. He explicitly states that desire
in verse 3: “Make every e
ff
ort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of
peace.” The apostle uses the word one seven times in verses 4-6. There is one
body (v. 4; see Romans 12:4-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31); one Spirit (v. 4; see John
16:13; 2 Corinthians 12:18), one hope (v. 4; see Hebrews 6:11-20; 7:19; 11:1),
one Lord (v. 5; see John 10:16; Romans 10:9), one faith (v. 5; see Acts 6:7;
Romans 1:17), one baptism (v. 5; see 1 Corinthians 1:13-17; Galatians 3:27), and
one God (v. 6; see Deuteronomy 6:4). These core dimensions of singularity give
us a framework for evaluating disagreements. Paul’s repeated emphasis on the
oneness we share in Christ should drive us to unity that can’t be broken.
