(Look at bounce rate by source)\nSurvey visitors who don't convert: \"What stopped you from [action]?\"\nRecord session replays (Hotjar/FullStory) — where do people get stuck?\nTest radically different offer (not just tweaks — fundamentally different value prop)\nHigh Acquisition, High Churn\nAcquisition and retention are different problems. Don't optimize one hoping the other improves.\nCommon cause: marketing promises don't match product reality\nFix: align messaging with actual product experience. Under-promise, over-deliver.\nSales Cycle Too Long\nMap every step from first touch to close. Remove any step that doesn't add value.\nIdentify the \"stuck\" stage — where do deals stall?\nCommon fix: bring the demo/proof earlier in the funnel (don't hide value behind calls)\nCan't Afford Paid Acquisition\nStart with organic: SEO + community + partnerships. CAC = time, not money.\nBuild referral into product design (viral loops, invite-only, share features)\nUse content to capture high-intent search traffic\nTwo-Sided Marketplace\nYou need TWO funnels — one for supply, one for demand\nStart with the harder side first (usually supply)\nUse \"come for the tool, stay for the network\" strategy (single-player mode)\nSeasonal Business\nPlan campaigns 6-8 weeks before peak season\nBuild email list during off-season (lead magnets related to peak-season needs)\nUse off-season for product improvement and content creation\nPhase 10: Weekly Funnel Review\n15-Minute Weekly Review Template\nweekly_review:\n  date: \"YYYY-MM-DD\"\n  \n  top_of_funnel:\n    visitors: X\n    vs_last_week: \"+/- X%\"\n    best_channel: \"[channel]\"\n    \n  middle_of_funnel:\n    new_leads: X\n    conversion_rate: \"X%\"\n    active_in_nurture: X\n    \n  bottom_of_funnel:\n    new_customers: X\n    revenue: \"$X\"\n    win_rate: \"X%\"\n    \n  health:\n    biggest_leak: \"[stage]\"\n    leak_severity: \"critical | moderate | minor\"\n    \n  action:\n    this_week_focus: \"[ONE thing to improve]\"\n    test_running: \"[Current A/B test, if any]\"\n    test_result: \"[Last test result]\"\n\nNatural Language Commands\n\nUse these to interact with the Sales Funnel Engine:\n\nCommand\tWhat It Does\n\"Design a funnel for [business type]\"\tCreates complete funnel blueprint from template\n\"Audit my funnel\"\tRuns full diagnostic with recommendations\n\"My [stage] conversion is [X%], help\"\tDiagnoses specific stage and suggests fixes\n\"Write a nurture sequence for [scenario]\"\tGenerates email sequence with templates\n\"Build a landing page for [offer]\"\tCreates 7-section landing page copy\n\"Calculate my funnel economics\"\tRuns unit economics with health assessment\n\"What should I A/B test next?\"\tPrioritizes tests by expected impact\n\"Compare funnel models for [business]\"\tRecommends funnel type with reasoning\n\"Set up attribution for [channels]\"\tRecommends attribution model and setup\n\"Review my funnel metrics\"\tGenerates weekly review template with analysis\n\"Fix my [specific problem]\"\tDiagnoses and provides action plan\n\"Create a funnel for [specific product at $X]\"\tEnd-to-end funnel with economics"
