		<description>Alex, insightful. I&#039;ve studied just about everything there is to study or learn about &quot;how to create a funnel&quot; and this perspective shared here is worth it&#039;s weight in gold. 

I&#039;ve had both funnels at the low end and the higher end for customer acquisition, and from my own empirical results higher end front end price points create a better business. 

The things people don&#039;t see is, at higher end price points, you just have better customers, more profit, and less hassle overall. Support costs and stresses are down. 

It&#039;s just easier to run your business. From an advertising perspective, you can more clearly laser target your marketing for only the highest ROI &quot;honey holes&quot; which again adds to your bottom line. 

On the point of a &quot;bullseye&quot; instead of a traditional funnel - It&#039;s so true. I&#039;ve bought and had customers who only buy when the prices are higher. I know I don&#039;t need qualifying purchases to buy at higher price points, just trust. Same holds for everyone as well as their customers.

Genius advice.</description>

		<description>Your excellent article is an eye opener. I thought there&#039;s only the Funnel Marketing Theory available. It&#039;s nice to read about your OCM model. It terms of returns, it&#039;s very convincing. However, it seems that it will take a lot of confidence (and experience of course) that most beginning marketers don&#039;t have much of. That said, I&#039;ll think a lot about how I can employ the OCM strategy in my business.
Thanks!</description>

		<description>Thanks Alex... great post. Coming from a Corporate Marketing background, I can see where the marketing funnel still makes sense. However in an info-product internet-based business your Outer Circle MArketing makes much more sense to me.
All the best,
