My Goal for Today:

A Classic Funnel
A More Customer-Centered View

Have a need and don't realize it. Or, they may be aware of the need, but not feel like there's any urgency in addressing it.

Copywriting can have a HUGE impace. Look up “Direct Response.”
So can images, especially on FB & Instagram. Or, video.
Should match offer and prioritize conversion.What value can you share, given segment & stage of journey?
