Two years ago, I was sitting across the table from a SaaS founder who looked frustrated.
Their product was strong. Their pitch was tight. Yet, leads were slipping through like water in cupped hands.
When I asked how their sales funnel was structured, the answer was vague:
âWe run ads, drive traffic to a landing page, and hope for conversions.â
Thatâs where most B2B funnels fail â they rely on hope instead of system.
So we reimagined their funnel. Not as a one-size-fits-all flow, but as a journey tailored to how real decision-makers buy.
Hereâs what that winning B2B sales funnel looked like:
1. Awareness: The Spark
Instead of shouting features, we told stories.
â LinkedIn posts that addressed industry pain points
â Short, insight-driven videos from the founder
â A lead magnet that gave immediate value, not just gated fluff
2. Consideration: The Conversation
Once they were interested, we didn't hard-sell â we educated.
â Case studies with real numbers
â A comparison sheet that answered âwhy us?â before they had to ask
â Personalized emails that spoke to their unique role and industry
3. Decision: The Close (but softer)
Now that trust was built, the CTA wasnât âBook a Demoâ â it was âLetâs solve this together.â
â Free consultations with actual problem-solving
â Proposal decks co-created with their inputs
â A no-pressure follow-up system, focused on timing, not pushing
That founder?
Their close rate tripled in 6 months.
But more importantly, they stopped chasing leads â and started attracting the right ones.
Thatâs the power of a real B2B sales funnel:
Not a linear path, but a relationship builder.
Not a script, but a conversation.
If your funnel feels like a leaky bucket right now, it might not be the leads â it might be the journey youâre walking them through.
Letâs rethink the funnel.
One stage at a time.
One real conversation at a time.
