F Key Principles
What we discovered
1. Too often, marketers confuse the objective of a homepage with the objective of a landing page.
2. In most cases, the objective of a homepage should be to get various prospect types on the correct path up the inverted funnel.

The goal of the Marketer is to move the Prospect Up, Not down, the Funnel.

1. The funnel is often presented as one potentially useful analogy for marketing. It is in fact, the primary analogy. All marketing should influence a decision.
2. The funnel analogy distorts reality. People are not falling into your funnel, they are falling out. The funnel must be inverted.
3. People don’t travel down the center of the funnel. People are climbing up the sides.
The Inverted Funnel

1. Too often, marketers confuse the objective of a homepage with the objective of a landing page.
2. In most cases, the objective of a homepage should be to get various prospect types on the correct path up the inverted funnel.
3. One way to accomplish this objective is by shifting our homepage approach to a directory page.
