the.com/funnel vision
the marketing brain's tunnel vision — every human reduced to a stage in a pipeline.
means a distorted way of seeing people only as prospects moving through awareness, consideration, and conversion, rather than as actual humans.
from a pun on tunnel vision, coined inside marketing and growth circles once sales funnels became the default mental model for customer behavior.
