Sales Funnels Explained Through a Ring Model, Not Just a Diagram

This course is aimed at anyone monetizing traffic — through ad revenue, affiliate products, personal services, or dropshipping — who needs to convert readers and clickers into paying customers. It builds from the ground up: defining what a sales funnel actually is, then reframing the usual top-down funnel chart as a ring, where prospects move from the outer, least-engaged layer toward the center as they become more familiar with a business.

From there it walks through content funnels, landing pages, and how a content funnel should integrate with the conversion funnel behind it, before covering the available conversion options and how to optimize each stage.

Key Takeaway

The course's central argument is that trying to convert a prospect into a sale immediately backfires — instead, it teaches moving prospects through a series of small conversions (attract, engage, educate, convert, re-engage) that add up to a sale.

What Is a Sales Funnel?

By definition, a sales funnel is simply a tool for visualizing where your prospects are in the process of making a buying decision. A sales funnel is wide at the top because prospects with all levels of engagement enter and eventually the most engaged ones are channeled to the bottom of the funnel to be turned into sales and repeat customers.

Sometimes, it’s easier to visualize the funnel stages by looking at an actual sales funnel chart.

In most sales funnel presentations you’ll see a chart similar to the one above, but we think it’s actually easier to understand the sales funnel when you don’t use the buzz words for each stage.

A better way to imagine a sales funnel is by using the ring method where prospects move from the outside of the circle to the inside of the circle as they become more familiar with your business.

You’ll have more prospects in the outer rings of the sales funnel stages than towards the center. The actual numbers of prospects in your funnel will continue to decrease the closer you get to a sale. This is natural.

Your conversion goals also change as the prospect moves through the sales funnel stages.

Attract the community that is unfamiliar with your business.
Engage those who now know you exist.
Educate those committed to making a purchase.
Convert customers who are ready to buy.
Re-engage your core fans who have already made a purchase.

Too often, businesses try to convert a prospect into a sale right away. Instead, think of moving your customers through your funnel with a series of small conversions. This will ultimately result in a sale.
