The Buyer’s Journey Is Dead. Long Live the Buying Pocket.
Funnels Don’t Convert—Messages That Hit the Pain Point Do
Find the moment pain and urgency collide—and convert cold prospects with a single sharp message.
The Non-Linear Buyer’s Journey and How to Pierce It With One Message
✅ Why Funnels Are Misaligned From Day One
TOFU. MOFU. BOFU.
Top of Funnel. Middle of Funnel. Bottom of Funnel.
You’ve heard it. You’ve probably even used it to plan your funnel. But here’s the truth:
That model is outdated. It assumes logic drives the buyer’s path. It doesn’t.
The modern B2B buyer is chaotic.
They scroll, click, disappear, come back, check a competitor, ghost you, and return three weeks later ready to buy.
You can’t lead people through linear stages anymore.
You need to find the pocket where pain and desire converge—then show up there with fire.
🔥 Enter: The Buying Pocket
The Buying Pocket is the energetic intersection between what someone wants desperately and what they’re willing to act on now.
Think of it like this:
Hell Island: Where your prospect is today (problem, chaos, loss)
Heaven Island: Where they want to be (outcome, clarity, success)
The Bridge: Your product or service
The Buying Pocket is that space where they’re finally ready to walk the bridge.
Most marketing is shouting from Heaven Island, “Come over here, it’s amazing!”
But if they’re drowning on Hell Island, they don’t care about paradise. They want a life raft.
⚔️ Why the Buyer’s Journey Fails
Here’s what the traditional model assumes:
Buyer sees an ad → downloads lead magnet → reads emails → books a demo → buys
Here’s what actually happens:
Buyer sees 4 posts, ignores your ad, checks your website at midnight, forgets about you, sees a VSL on YouTube a week later, then finally replies to a cold message on LinkedIn
The path is non-linear. The attention is fractured. The pain is buried until triggered.
You don’t need a funnel that explains everything.
You need a message that stabs the pain.
🧠 How to Map Your Buying Pocket
Step 1: Interview your best clients
Ask what life was like right before they bought
What was frustrating? What was at stake? What made them act?
Step 2: List the “Hell Island Triggers”
Time wasted
Money lost
Status threatened
Opportunities slipping
Step 3: Write 3–5 Buying Pocket messages
“Tired of quoting $20k projects and getting ghosted?”
“Still chasing leads that never convert?”
“Want to get 10–20 demos per month without paid ads or spam?”
Each one is a spear. Not a story.
📈 Use Case: Software Dev Firm
A client was pitching “custom software for operational efficiency.”
Nobody responded. Cold outreach flopped. Website traffic bounced.
We rewrote the message to:
“Want 3 full-time engineers in 7 days for less than the cost of 1 hire in the US?”
ELR jumped to 6.7%. Inbound messages flowed. Sales happened.
The message entered the Buying Pocket:
Pain = hiring bottlenecks
Desire = more delivery power
Condition = budget stress
That’s where fire lives.
💡 How This Powers the Funnel
Once you find your Buying Pocket message, you can:
Send outbound that gets 5–10% ELR
Build scrolls and VSLs that match emotional state
Create retargeting ads that trigger urgency
Write nurture emails that don’t bore or educate—they activate
Forget moving people from TOFU to BOFU.
Find the Pocket.
Pierce it.

🔥 Final Word
Funnels don’t move people.
Pain does. Desire does. Urgency does.
If your message isn’t hitting, it’s not your funnel—it’s your targeting.
Find the moment they’re ready to move.
Strike with a message that slices clean.
The Buying Pocket is where sales happen.
