TOFU (Top of the Funnel)

The initial stage in the sales and marketing funnel where potential customers are first introduced to a product or service. At this stage, the focus is on generating awareness and attracting a broad audience through various strategies such as content marketing, social media, advertising, and lead generation campaigns.

TOFU activities aim to engage prospects who are just beginning to explore their needs and may not yet be familiar with your brand. The goal is to capture their interest and move them further down the funnel by providing valuable content and information that encourages them to consider your offerings. Effective TOFU strategies help build a foundation for nurturing leads and advancing them through subsequent stages of the funnel, such as MOFU (Middle of the Funnel) and BOFU (Bottom of the Funnel).

BOFU (Bottom of the Funnel)

Bottom of Funnel (BOFU) is the final sales stage, where prospects evaluate solutions before purchasing. Strategies focus on conversions through demos, trials, and offers by addressing objections and proving value.

Leads

Leads are potential customers who show interest in a product or service and provide contact info. They are categorized by interest, readiness to buy, and alignment with the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).

MOFU (Middle of the Funnel)

Middle of Funnel (MOFU) is when prospects evaluate solutions. Marketing nurtures leads with content like case studies and demos to address concerns, build trust, and guide them toward a purchase.

Prospects

Prospects are potential customers identified by interest, industry, or needs. They are early in the sales process and prioritized based on their fit with the ICP and likelihood of conversion.

Sales Funnel

A sales funnel maps the customer journey from awareness (TOFU) to consideration (MOFU) to decision (BOFU), guiding prospects through engagement and evaluation toward making a purchase.
