A Customer Conversion Path is the series of steps a potential customer takes from first learning about a product or service to becoming a paying customer. It maps out the journey through awareness, consideration, and decision stages, showing how marketing and sales efforts guide prospects toward making a purchase.
Synonyms: Customer Journey to Purchase, Sales Conversion Path, Buyer Conversion Path, Customer Acquisition Path

The path starts when a potential customer encounters a brand through ads, content, or referrals. Next, they engage by seeking more information, comparing options, or signing up for a trial. Finally, they decide to buy, often influenced by targeted offers or sales outreach.
Understanding this path helps businesses identify where prospects drop off and what messaging or channels work best. It allows teams to optimize marketing campaigns and sales tactics to increase the number of leads that turn into customers.
A SaaS company might see a visitor click a Google ad, download a whitepaper, attend a webinar, and then subscribe to a monthly plan. An e-commerce store could track a shopper who views a product, adds it to their cart, receives a discount email, and completes the purchase.
