Simple but effective guide on how to create funnel chart.

Part 1: What is The Funnel Chart?

A sales funnel, also called a purchase funnel, is the pathway that captures sales prospects and moves them from awareness of your product to interest, desire and ultimately the sale. It can be broken down into seven sections i.e. awareness phase, interest phase, evaluation phase, decision phase, purchase phase, reevaluation phase, repurchase phase.

Funnel charts are used in sales to segment customers into different categories depending on their level of interaction with the company. A traditional sales funnel is shaped like an inverted triangle, and might have four sections: prospective customers, contacts, leads, and customers. Prospective customers usually take up the largest section of the funnel, while customers take up the smallest section of the funnel.

Using a funnel chart is beneficial for understanding how your customers behave. In addition, it can inform a company's sales strategy by letting them know how many customers they have in each segment, and which segments they should focus on to move as many customers down the funnel as possible.
