The Sales Funnel Top Front or End
The uppermost part of your sales funnel will be the most active part of your sales funnel and will require the most constant testing. There is no limit to your creativity or resources in front-end strategies.

The front-end of your sales funnel is where potential customers are drawn to your company. The back-end is what we should be focusing on.
The Bottom or Back-End of the Funnel
The bottom or back-end of the sales funnel is where the majority of profits and sales are made. It usually contains your higher priced products. They all belong to the same niche however in a different format like audio, video or live interactions.
The main difference between front and back-ends is in the type of client as well as the cost of the product/service being provided.
While it's true that just one percent, or 1-2% of the overall number of folks who enter your front end will finish up in the back-end. Since a small portion of people invest more, that's fine.
Products and services that are front-end may cost less than $100, but back-end products, services, and services typically run between 100 and 1000 dollars. This means that the lowest end of the sales channel which is also known as the back-end, is the most important source of revenue.
The sales funnel can be as complex or simple as you would like it to be, as long you have the proper resources and the right ideas.
