What is Sales
Cycle?
 The complete selling process of a
business, through a journey of different
stages from lead generation to close.
 The sales cycle is the sequence of
phases that a typical customer goes
through when deciding to buy
something.

What is the sales
funnel?
 It is an illustration of the stages that a prospect
goes through before becoming a customer.
 It describes the part of the sales process where
prospects who enter the funnel are nurtured
through each stage before making the ultimate
purchase decision.

Sales Cycle vs. Sales Funnel
Amin Sameni - Oct 2018
Sales Cycle is a repeatable set of steps sales team take with a prospect to move them from an early
stage to a closed sale. It is a specific sequence of actions that move a prospect from a new lead to a
customer.
Sales Funnel is the conversion rates of prospects through the sales cycle stages. It represents how
prospects move through the buying process.
It feeds the Sales Cycle (pipeline)

Sales Funnel Metrics
Leads Volume (Funnel Entry
Point)
Lead conversion rate =
(Number of leads that close) /
(Total number of leads)
Example  25 leads that close / 100
total leads= 25% lead conversion rate
Average Sale (Services per
sale)

Funnel Process
