Funnels only operate in a liner direction. You put more in at the top to get some revenue at the bottom.
Scale Your Paid Ads With Low Friction Acquisition
Today’s B2B winners are not growing with a funnel—they’re growing with a set of compounding growth loops that continually reduce friction and acquisition costs.
Paid Acquisition Has Changed for Good
For the past several decades it’s been common practice to build a marketing funnel to drive growth with paid media. You build awareness in your market with content. Then you leverage emails, gated assets, and retargeting to move buyers through the funnel. And then you start over the next quarter.
But now acquisition costs are increasing faster than your marketing budget, putting you in a race against the competition for who is willing to spend the most to acquire a new customer.
Limited Channels
The number of new channels being created every year is decreasing. We’re still all investing in Google, LinkedIn, & Facebook, and they’re all more saturated than ever before.
Increased Competition
Categories are now filled with hundreds, and sometimes thousands of competitors and alternatives. This dramatic increase is accelerating the cost of customer acquisition.
Stacked Deck
Channels are continually moving the goalposts and changing the algorithm to make organic content discovery harder. Channels are moving more and more towards a pay to play model.
Funnels drive mediocre growth. Growth Loops create meteoric growth.
