First of all, it's important to have a clearer understanding of the sales funnel and its role in analyzing consumer behavior and identifying trends.
Basically, the sales funnel is a visual representation of the process customers go through from the moment they become aware of a product or service until they make a purchase.
In essence, it also describes the stages that potential customers go through until they become paying customers.
Therefore, understanding the sales funnel is fundamental to the success of any marketing and sales strategy.
Below, we'll explore the three stages of the funnel and their respective importance:
At this stage, potential customers are just discovering your brand, product or service.
The aim here is to attract the target audience's attention and pique their interest. Common strategies include educational content, advertising and social media presence.
At this point, potential customers are considering their options and evaluating whether your offer meets their needs.
The focus is on providing detailed information about the product or service and demonstrating value. Content such as case studies, testimonials and demonstrations are effective at this stage.
In this final stage, potential customers are ready to make a purchasing decision. The aim is to convert these leads into customers by providing incentives, such as discounts or guarantees, and facilitating the purchasing process.
Testimonials from satisfied customers, product demonstrations and special offers are useful here.
This model is essential for understanding and predicting key market trends, as it allows companies to identify where customers are in the buying cycle and which strategies can be applied at each stage to lead them to conversion.
That said, mapping the sales funnel correctly is crucial for effective analysis, and the ideal tool for this is Funnelytics.

FPS (Faculdade Pernambucana de Saúde), in an effort to increase its conversions, relied on the expertise of our specialists to implement the tool and find the contingency points in its online strategy.
By mapping their customers' journey on their website within a Funnelytics funnel, it became clear that although visitors were accessing a link to check the entrance exam notices, many of them were not applying.
Another issue we identified was that the landing page contained several buttons that redirected the visitor to other content, however, these buttons had an extremely low click-through rate.
With the contingency and improvement points properly identified, it was much easier to make an informed decision on how to proceed.
So, a new registration landing page was created for visitors to access the calls for proposals, unpopular links were removed, the site's pages were reorganized to make them more attractive, as were the CTA buttons, which also underwent a few touch-ups.
With this new approach, the results obtained were a 22% increase in direct traffic and a 23% increase in indirect traffic between the site's home page and the registration page. In other words, a considerable increase in the conversion of traffic from visitors to subscribers.
And all of this was possible thanks to an analysis of the funnel carried out using Funnelytics, which identified the behavior patterns of visitors within the site and made it clear where the bottlenecks were during the journey.
Finally, we can say that using Funnelytics can be a differentiator when it comes to sales marketing, as well as understanding consumer behavior and market trends in digital environments.
