Sales funnel stage : Descision stage

we shall have a recap on the last stage of the sales funnel to increase sales for our respective businesses. This is to better aid our learning process and acquire more knowledge. The third stage to look out for ; The Decision stage. At this point, the prospect knows they’re likely going to make a purchase, but they’re probably still debating from who. If they’re still in contact with your business, then you’re a possible contender.

One of the ways to ensure they are in contact with your business is through emails , WhatsApp messages to check up etc.

You’ll want to make a great offer during this stage in order to seal the deal. Whether it’s a discount, an add-on, or a free trial or shipping, you’ll have to show how you’re different from your competition and win them over.

How to start a side hustle.

From the profile of many of our members, we realized that a lot of us still have our regular 9-5 job and are looking for ways to venture into our business. As our first post for the year, we thought to address the concerns of this class of people, before we roll out our business growth techniques for the year.

If you’ve ever thought about starting a side hustle, you’re probably motivated by one of three reasons:

It’s a hobby, and you’re feeding your interest during your free time.

You’re supplementing your primary income. Maybe you have financial goals you want to reach, and having an extra income source will help get you there quicker.

You plan to transition into entrepreneurship full time, so you’re testing the waters with a side hustle before taking the big leap and quitting your full-time job. 

Regardless of your motivations, you’re about to start a business. And the moment you expect people to start paying you money in exchange for value that you provide, you can no longer treat it as a passive endeavor. But when you have a full-time job—in addition to a life that you’d really like to enjoy—that’s easier said than done.

There’s a reason it’s called a side hustle: you need to work hard to make it a success. Follow the tips listed in this post to get you started.

  1. Tell your employer.
  2. Establish a routine and set goals.
  3. Create boundaries
  4. Set up processes and automate
  5. Ask for feedback
  6. Think long term
  7. Rest

Sales funnel stages

Following through on our sales funnel highlights and it’s importance in our business , we will take a look at the second stage – The Interest stage.

Here, the prospect has expressed some level of consideration toward your offer. They’ll perform some research and maybe investigate other opportunities too. They recognize that they have a need, but they don’t want to act too quickly.In order to keep their interest and guide them further down the sales funnel, offer them resources and valuable content that will appeal to them.

Avoid trying to sell too early or you’ll scare them off by being too forward. Instead, focus on establishing yourself as an expert that’s looking out for their best interest rather than just trying to make a sale. This way you are able to build TRUST- a key necessity in sales.
