Context you provide

• {{funnel_stage_data}}: Data on leads at each stage of the sales funnel (e.g., counts, conversion rates).
• {{customer_journey_data}}: Optional data on customer interactions and touchpoints.
• {{sales_process_details}}: Information about the current sales process and any known issues.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Analyze the progression of leads through the sales funnel, identifying bottlenecks or areas of friction.
3. Track and analyze the movement of leads, identifying patterns that can help improve the sales process.
4. Pinpoint specific areas in the customer journey where leads drop off or stall.
5. Provide actionable recommendations to remove roadblocks and improve funnel performance.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Overview, Stage-by-Stage Analysis, Bottleneck Identification, Friction Points, Recommendations. Use tables and bullet points. Keep tone professional and solution-oriented.

Guardrails

• Do not invent data; base all analysis on provided information.
• Clearly state any assumptions made about missing data.
• Stay focused on funnel analysis; avoid unrelated sales topics.
