The traditional funnel approach 

Imagine a triangle that’s upside down so that its very wide base is at the top, and at the bottom is the point, and it’s very narrow.

The idea is that you want to put as many people on the top knowing that you’ll have shrinkage and at the bottom, you’ll get a customer or hopefully more than one coming out of the bottom of the funnel.
