They fail because the funnel demands a decision before the prospect feels oriented.
Here’s the pattern:
When someone enters a funnel, their first question isn’t “Should I buy?” — it’s “Am I in the right place?”If the funnel skips clarity and jumps straight to persuasion, resistance shows up immediately.
One mistake I see constantly:
Funnels trying to convert before they contextualize. No frame, no clear problem ownership, no reason to trust the path—just a button asking for action.
Hope this helps someone.
