No one owns the full funnel

By
Mukund Kabra

When each team owns only its slice of the funnel, the hand-offs between slices go unmanaged. Give one person responsibility for the whole journey, from first visit to repeat customer, with a view of every stage.

No one owns the full funnel

No one owns the full funnel

Problem

Each team owns a part of the funnel. The gaps between them belong to nobody.

Marketing owns traffic, sales owns deals, product owns activation and support owns retention. Leads lost between marketing and sales, or customers lost between sale and onboarding, are nobody's problem.

The biggest leaks are often at the hand-offs.

Insight

The customer experiences one journey, not four departments.

Most of the value lost in a funnel is lost where one team hands over to another. Someone who owns the full journey, and sees every stage, can spot and fix those gaps.

This person does not replace the teams. They connect them.

How we approach it

We put someone in charge of the whole journey.

  1. We map the full funnel and the hand-offs between teams.
  2. We define a full-funnel owner role with a view of every stage.
  3. We set shared goals for the hand-off points and review them weekly.

The gaps between teams get closed, and customers stop falling through.
