Perhaps it’s starting to become evident at this point how important a sales funnel is for your online business success. Sales funnels facilitate your ability to build trust with your customers. Trust is the key to having a profitable funnel, and it can be quite simple.

There are times when you, the business owner, need to make the decision to give away a product of value. Something your customers will know is a top-notch giveaway. Most often, the best sales funnel system starts out with a free product, and then begins to gain momentum with something at a low price, then on and on gradually increasing the value and the price of your offers.

Eventually, the trust and confidence between you and your prospects will reach a point where you can break out the dealmaker item you’ve been preparing. This is your product, which carries the larger ticket price, and your customers won’t even hesitate to purchase it. This is a result of the time you have spent building that relationship of trust and confidence.

Keeping you customer in control of the business relationship, with them able to severe the ties without worrying about any risk, is what will sustain their trust in you and your business.  These are essential keys – it’s all about your customer, building their trust and serving their needs. Sales always come afterwards in this particular line of priorities.

Once trust is established and prospects have become customers, they’ve entered your sales funnel, then you can begin to offer your higher end products. Earn your prospect’s trust with valuable and quality information and you will have a company built with a positive and solid reputation.

About the Author

I chose to proactively retire from the classroom teaching and share my gifts in a different context. I'm a damn good teacher and I'm tired of working within a frustrating system that won't let me do what I know is right. So I'm taking my business full time -- and I'm still educating, still making a difference in the world. And I want to help you do the same.
