Why your funnel is failing you

from The Learning Lounge · host LikeMind Media

n this video, I'm tackling the outdated concept that's secretly killing your sales: the traditional marketing funnel. After 25 years working with these models, I can confidently tell you—they're fundamentally broken.Your customers don't behave like water flowing neatly through a pipe.

In 2025, buyers demand autonomy and will abandon you the moment you try to force them down your predetermined path.Our B2B Buying Decisions Report shows modern customers prioritise product fit and budget over your awards and values.
