A Customer Journey Funnel in the context of a Go To Market strategy is a visual representation of the stages a potential customer goes through from first becoming aware of a product or service to making a purchase and beyond. It helps businesses understand and optimize how they attract, engage, and convert customers.

The Customer Journey Funnel breaks down the buying process into clear steps, often starting with awareness, moving through consideration, and ending with decision or purchase. Each stage reflects a different mindset and set of actions from the customer, which businesses can target with specific marketing and sales tactics.
In a Go To Market strategy, the funnel guides how a company allocates resources and designs campaigns to move prospects smoothly from one stage to the next. It highlights where potential customers might drop off and where efforts should focus to improve conversion rates.
For example, a software company might use content marketing to build awareness, webinars and demos to nurture consideration, and personalized sales outreach to close deals. Tracking metrics at each funnel stage helps refine the approach and increase sales efficiency.
