WHY A FUNNEL? 1
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/sales-funnels-
spotlight
3
It’s called a sales funnel
because the largest number
of people start at the top
and become aware of your
brand, business or product,
but not everyone passes all
the way down to the narrow
tip of the funnel.
WHY A FUNNEL? 2
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/sales-funnels-

4
As your prospective
customers move from
awareness to interest, and
interest to decision, more
and more people will
gradually drop out, leaving
those who eventually take
action, that is, either give
their email address or
make a purchase.
We tend to call it a sieve
rather than a funnel,
because they can drop out
anywhere in the process.
FUNNEL VS. SIEVE
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/sales-funnels-
spotlight
5
In your funnel or sieve,
your job is to move them
to the end without them
dropping out. You do this
by ‘plugging the holes’,
that is, making it as easy
and as logical as possible
to do business with a
company as great as
yours.
TWO TYPES OF FUNNELS 1
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/sales-funnels-

6
In our marketing group, we
talk about free funnels and
sales funnels in order to be
clear about the goals, process
and mechanics of each.
The FREE funnel=You are
giving them a free item in
exchange for their email
address. You can then send
them follow up emails about
different products. Popular
free items include checklists,
reports and so on.
TWO TYPES OF FUNNELS 2

7
Those emails will lead to one
or more sales funnels. The
whole goal of a sales funnel
is to get them to buy
something.
You can also drive traffic
directly to your sales funnels
if you wish, trying to get
them to buy right away. The
problem with this is if they
don’t know you, it can be a
hard sell.

CONCLUSION
• Free and Sales funnels are a proven method
of getting subscribers and making sales
• The funnel starts at the point at which they
encounter your site, to the point of them
either being willing to become a subscriber
(via a FREE funnel)
• OR
• Being willing to buy something from you
(via a SALES funnel) through email
marketing, or directly from your site
