The Power of Persuasion: Convert Leads With a Strategic Sales Funnel
If you want to be a master of persuasion, understanding the customer journey is critical. This is because the buyer’s journey and sales funnel are intrinsically linked and a full understanding of both will allow you to create and optimize your conversion strategy.
The purpose of a marketing funnel is to nurture leads until they are ready to make a purchase, so the key to conversion is to understand where your audience is in their journey and how to get them to the next stage. The Power of Persuasion: Convert Leads with a Strategic Sales Funnel will explore the buyer’s journey and the sales funnel and provide you with tactics to increase your conversion rate.
At the top of your sales funnel, your goal is to generate awareness with targeted marketing efforts that encourage prospects to learn more about your company and its products or services. Creating content that answers frequently asked questions, guides prospective customers through the buying process, or provides valuable tips and tricks can all be effective tools to influence your target audience at this stage of the journey.
Once your potential customers are aware of your offerings, they are ready to evaluate their options. During this phase, more in-depth and persuasive content is needed to demonstrate that your solution is the best fit for their needs. This is when resources like case studies, white papers, product comparisons and reviews can be helpful in influencing prospects to convert.
By the time your prospects reach the bottom of your sales funnel (BOFU), they are ready to take action and become a paying customer. In this stage, your objective is to ensure a smooth and seamless purchasing experience with clear communication and outstanding customer service. Using targeted email campaigns, retargeting ads, or direct sales outreach can all be effective strategies to nurture and convert leads at this stage of the funnel.
While it is commonly believed that only people in a sales or marketing role need to have persuasion skills, the truth is that everyone uses persuasion techniques on a daily basis. Whether it is an advertising campaign, a political debate, or a social media post, the power of persuasion is present and impacts us all.
Using the right tools, and with the help of data enrichment technology, it is possible to identify anonymous website visitors and engage them in the sales funnel at exactly the right moment. This is a powerful and proven way to influence people to buy your products or services.
While it is important to understand the difference between manipulation and persuasion, it is also crucial to know when to use each tactic. Manipulation is defined as the act of influencing someone to your own advantage, while persuasion takes into account the benefits that the person being influenced will receive in return for taking the desired action.
Using the right persuasion tactics can help you generate more sales, maximize your bottom-of-funnel leads, and ultimately, grow your business.
