Building an automated sales funnel requires lead generation software and a simple management system. These should be very easy to use. Then it’s time to think cleverly about how to ignite your lead generation and fill that pipeline with qualified sales leads.
In this video, Julie Futcher from The Sales Manager and Scott Cundill from the Maj3.com lead generation software company speak about four methods to fill your sales funnel with leads:
In summary, here are four key pillars to build your sales funnel now:
- Learn the buying process of your customers.
Most businesses leave this step out completely. Is your quote just a formality because the client must request three quotes? How many decision-makers have to sign off? These questions need to be answered or else your sales leads will be wasted and your pipeline for naught. - Speak to your current customers.
Contact your current customers and simply talk to them. Building your sales funnel doesn’t have to include brand new business, but up-selling to existing clients. Sometimes just a simple conversation can lead to great business… or more importantly a referral. Referrals are one of the best ways to build your sales funnel.

You’ve dealt with customers in the past. They know you and probably still like you. Over the years you’ve improved and innovated your offering and so have they. Why not reach out to them? See if you can do business again? Show them how you’ve changed. Again, you might get business and/or you might get a referral. - Drive your new business sales pipeline.
