The Ultimate Guide to B2B Sales Funnels

In B2B sales, where the average sales cycle takes at least 4 months, it's extremely unlikely that today's brand new lead is going to close tomorrow. But you can't sit back and wait for those months to pass by; it's up to you to nurture your prospect from wherever they are in their purchasing journey and build their confidence towards making a decision.

This is why sales funnels are so crucial. A sales funnel is like a map of you customer journey; without it, you're selling without a clear path and making assumptions regarding your prospects. You'll also have no consistency in your strategy and risk losing leads along the way!
