A simple sales funnel method
Connect Your Marketing and Sales Processes to Achieve Growth
Quickly know what’s working in your sales funnel—and what’s not.
If your business growth feels stuck, it’s often because marketing and sales activities aren’t aligned—or worse, they’re being measured in silos. When every team is tracking different data points, it’s nearly impossible to know which efforts are driving real results.
My sales and marketing funnel methodology helps you connect the dots across your customer journey, so you can stop guessing and start making informed decisions. With a single, simplified scorecard, you’ll get visibility into the marketing and sales activities that lead to measurable growth.
My step-by-step framework for sales funnel success
You’ve heard it before: you can’t improve what you don’t measure.
But what are the right funnel metrics to track? What are the actual marketing efforts that generate a sale? How do you know where to invest your time and money for maximum ROI?
I define laser-focused metrics and activities aligned to your business objectives. Then we invest where ROI is proven to deliver revenue.
I start by defining the market opportunity – who your ideal customer is, what they need and want, and how you can reach them.
How do you know if your sales and marketing are working? It’s something that every business struggles with at some point.
I test everything, measure constantly, and invest only in what delivers results. Trust me, your sales team will love this!
Not all sales funnels are created alike
My methodology centers around customers.
Get customers. Retain customers.
I solve it as a marketing math problem aligning outcomes with budget and revenue, entirely focused on the customer journey.
Why Small Business CEOs Prefer My Simple Sales Funnel Process
As a CEO, you’re not asking for vanity metrics. You need a clear line of sight into how marketing supports revenue—and whether it’s paying off. With my sales and marketing funnel metrics, I help small business leaders like you:
- Identify where leads are stalling (and fix it)
- Connect marketing activity to sales outcomes
- Spot wasted spend before it drains your budget
- Build trust between marketing and sales by using shared success measures
- Focus efforts on the metrics that actually move your business forward
This framework is ideal for businesses that want to get serious about marketing ROI but don’t have time for dashboards full of noise. Together, we’ll track the right data—not all the data—and ensure your growth strategy is grounded in facts, not assumptions.

My Sales Funnel Methodology Explained in 7 steps
Market Demand
What are the total number of potential prospects in your target audience? Do you really know how many customers are out there – and that you can realistically capture? If you don’t, you have no way of knowing if you’re successful or not.
Awareness
You can’t sell something to a prospect who just met you. To buy from you, people need to trust you. To trust you, they need to know you first. It’s the first critical marketing step. You likely already excel at this-but you’ll need to stay visible
Interest
Expressions of interest (aka leads) come in plenty of forms, but if you don’t recognize the signs, it’s hard to improve. Prospects give lots of signals that they’re interested. We need to figure out the right attraction signals for YOU.
Sales
Sales are the beating heart of every business. You’re probably skilled at closing deals—but could your win rate be higher? Are you generating enough sales opportunities to keep your pipeline strong?
Satisfaction
Most companies are so happy with the sale that they forget to ask how it’s going or regularly monitor customer satisfaction. (Really!)
Repeat Purchase
