Do you have traffic, leads, and active campaigns, but sales just aren’t coming in?
You’re not alone. At Cuernosoft, we’ve seen that 80% of businesses investing in marketing face this problem:
👉 Their sales funnel doesn’t convert as it should.
Today we’ll explain the most common reasons and, most importantly, how to fix them.
What is a sales funnel?
It’s the path a prospect follows from the moment they discover you until they buy.
It includes three main stages:
TOFU (Top of Funnel): Attraction (discovery)
MOFU (Middle of Funnel): Interest and evaluation
BOFU (Bottom of Funnel): Purchase decision
Each stage requires specific actions to guide the prospect forward.
If one fails, the prospect gets lost along the way.
Reasons why your sales funnel doesn’t convert (and solutions)
1. You don’t have a clear and attractive message
Problem:
Visitors don’t quickly understand who you are, what you offer, and why they should trust you.
Solution:
- Define a clear value proposition.
- Answer in seconds: What do you do? For whom? What problem do you solve?
- Use direct headlines, visible calls to action, and tangible benefits.
💡 Tip: Your customer shouldn’t take more than 5 seconds to understand your offer.
2. You’re attracting the wrong audience
Problem:
Even if you have traffic, if it’s not the right profile, they won’t move forward in the funnel.
Solution:
- Review your ad segmentation.
- Clearly define your buyer persona: age, interests, needs.
- Create specific content for that profile.
💡 Tip: Better 1,000 qualified visits than 10,000 random ones.
3. You don’t educate or build trust in the middle of the funnel (MOFU)
Problem:
Many leads cool off because they don’t receive content that motivates them to continue.
Solution:
- Automate email sequences or WhatsApp messages that:
- Educate (guides, tips, success stories)
- Address objections (FAQs, guarantees)
- Reinforce benefits and authority
💡 Tip: The lead needs several “touches” of value before being ready to buy.
4. Your closing offer isn’t irresistible
Problem:
At the end, your proposal doesn’t motivate immediate action.
Solution:
- Create limited offers: bonuses, discounts, special editions.
- Use elements of scarcity (limited spots, time limits).
- Simplify the purchase process (fewer clicks, less friction).
💡 Tip: Urgency and exclusivity boost conversion.
5. You don’t do effective follow-up
Problem:
Many interested prospects are lost due to lack of follow-up.
Solution:
- Implement automated reminders.
- Assign salespeople or agents to hot leads.
- Use a CRM to track every opportunity.
💡 Tip: 80% of sales happen after the 5th contact.
