To explain how sales funnels work, let\u2019s contrast funnels with an ordinary business website. Most websites look like a menu of options: A customer can click to different pages depending on what they\u2019re looking for. However, Brunson argues that <strong>this layout is really bad at attracting new customers<\/strong> because complicated websites with a multitude of menu options are confusing and difficult to navigate, even if people already know what they want to buy from you. Unfortunately, when your website confuses your visitors, they\u2019re more likely to leave than put in the hard work necessary to figure things out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, when your website is a sales funnel, you avoid presenting a confusing menu of options. Instead, <strong>you show all new visitors the same message about your product and give them one place to click<\/strong> if they\u2019re interested in moving forward. They then enter a series of pages persuading them to make a purchase, each of which links to the next one and nowhere else. This structure prevents visitors to your website from getting lost or confused, and it presents them with a single refined and persuasive message, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/why-more-is-less\/\">maximizing<\/a> the chance they\u2019ll become customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brunson explains that each kind of product you sell requires a different sales funnel on your website\u2014the path on your website that convinces customers to buy a book will look very different from the one selling access to an overseas retreat. We\u2019ll go into more depth on what a sales funnel should look like later in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>The Offline Origins of Sales Funnels<\/strong><br><br>The idea of a sales funnel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketing-psycho.com\/marketing-funnel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has been around for about a hundred years<\/a>: The term was coined in the 1924 book <a href=\"https:\/\/babel.hathitrust.org\/cgi\/pt?id=uc1.$b37470&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Bond Salesmanship<\/em><\/a>. In an offline context, sales funnels take the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-successful-marketing-campaign\/\">marketing campaigns<\/a> or direct pitches from salespeople. Brunson doesn\u2019t spell this out explicitly, but they\u2019re called \u201cfunnels\u201d because they <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/aida-model\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">look like funnels if you represent them visually<\/a>: Some people will inevitably opt out of the process at each stage, causing the number of potential customers to narrow over time. But as Brunson explains, those customers who make it to the funnel\u2019s narrow end will be completely invested in your product.<br><br>The original sales funnel, and arguably the most popular one today, is a four-stage model called AIDA, which stands for attention (or awareness), interest, desire, and action. You need to grab someone\u2019s <em>attention<\/em>, get them <em>interested<\/em> in learning more about your product, make them actively <em>desire<\/em> your product, then nudge them into <em>action<\/em> so they buy your product. This model gets salespeople to empathize with potential customers by considering how they\u2019re likely to think about the product at various points in the sale. Getting in the customer\u2019s head like this helps the seller understand exactly what they need to say and do to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-sale-2\/\">make a sale<\/a>.<br><br>Websites without a sales funnel fail to take potential customers through these four stages and are therefore unlikely to make many sales. A \u201cmenu-style\u201d website is uninteresting to customers yet to enter the attention or interest stages of the AIDA sales funnel since they see no compelling reason to explore your website. A sales funnel, on the other hand, is designed to immediately capture the visitor\u2019s attention and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/create-interest\/\">generate interest<\/a> through stories, as we\u2019ll see later.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a sales funnel, and how does it work?
