How Acquisition.com’s sales-kit funnel works

The ad offers “something I charge for” and gives it away: a 21-minute sales-comp training and a four-tool workbook for owners with a sales team. The form behind it is four screens (name, email, phone, then five dropdowns) and the last screen sorts the lead.

It sorts on two things. Annual revenue of $250k or more and an owner who holds the majority or half of the business gets a page that confirms the kit and pitches a two-day Sales Workshop in Las Vegas with a booking widget. Everyone else, under $250k, a minority owner, or an employee, gets a plain thank-you with nothing to sell.

Two nuances. The audience in the copy (“over a million a year”) is not the audience the gate lets through ($250k and a real owner), so the funnel is more permissive than it sounds. And of the three Acquisition.com forms we have walked, this is the only one where ownership routes: on the Roadmap and the Frameworks form, an employee is still pitched.

Not captured: the kit’s delivery email, the booking calendar (it sits behind a phone-number form and was not submitted), and the $10M–$30M and $30M+ revenue bands.

Funnel canvas — drag to pan, scroll or use the buttons to zoom. Each node links to that step's page.

The pitch is promised in the ad

The ad says there is a link to schedule a call on the thank-you page, so the visitor arrives expecting it. The qualified page then delivers it under a note that the call is not required.

$1M+ in the copy, $250k in the gate

The ad says "over a million a year" and the page narrows to "$1M+", but the form sends anyone at $250k or more to the pitch. The audience named in the copy is four times larger than the one that is filtered out.

3The plain thank-youAcquisition.com — The plain thank-you

Two answers pick the pitch

Revenue alone does not decide it. A $3M–$10M business with a majority or 50/50 owner gets the sales workshop; the same business with a minority owner or an employee at the keyboard gets a thank-you. The Roadmap and the Frameworks forms, the other two walked, collect ownership and ignore it.

The confirmation turns into a workshop pitch

The kit is confirmed in one line, then the page says "We're selecting only 100 businesses" and plays a note from Alex above a booking widget. It greets the lead by first name, so the pitch reads as the next step for them rather than an ad.

Made for a big screen

See all 6 steps as one map

On a computer this funnel opens as a canvas: every page at full length, side by side, with the arrows between them and the moves that make it work. A phone screen can't hold it, so here it's a list.
