The stages of a content sale, in order

A content sale is not one moment. It is a sequence, and it stops at exactly one stage. Find that stage and you stop guessing about posting frequency.

The seven stages

Stage	What has to happen	Symptom when it fails
1. Attention	The right person sees you	Views from people who never buy
2. Recognition	They see their own problem	Views but no comments or questions
3. Trust	They believe you can help	Engagement but no enquiries
4. Offer clarity	They understand what they get	"How does it work?" over and over
5. Decision	The choice feels safe	They ask the price, then go quiet
6. Payment	Money can move easily	Interested people never complete
7. Delivery	The outcome is delivered	Sales happen once, never repeat

How to find your stage

Look at your last 20 enquiries and mark where each one stopped.
The stage with the biggest drop is your only real problem right now.
Fix that stage before touching anything downstream of it.
Re-check after seven days of the same content volume, not more.

How Content to Sales handles this

The sales audit inside Content to Sales does this scoring for you and routes you to the one fix that matters next. Progression is decided by the system, not by guesswork — so you never work on delivery while your offer is still unclear.
