They’re what makes the machine of business, the interface between the customers and the company, and the face of the product. Yet employee retention can be a problem.

We’re all familiar with the conversion funnel. Before buying your product or service, a lead will enter the awareness stage, get to know your brand, and extract its initial value from this interaction. Next, if the lead moves down through the funnel, he or she will enter the consideration stage, meaning he or she is very interested in what you have to offer.
