How do you make strangers trust you enough to buy your product?

A long time ago in a century far away, a marketer named Elias St.Elmo Lewis came up with a brilliant answer. His theory was that you could turn strangers into raving customers with a “funnel”: a series of steps the customer follows, each one leading them closer to purchasing your product.

1. Awareness: you need people to become aware that your product or service exists.
2. Interest: people need to be intrigued enough to read your ad or click to your website.

4. Action: people need to decide to take the next step, whether calling your sales team or adding a product to their cart.
