I get a lot of emails and LinkedIn messages about our “funnel” these days. Hiring funnel, sales funnel, etc. Usually it’s coming from well-meaning companies who are focused on recruiting and headhunting or lead generation and prospecting.

Payment is at the center of every business. In an ideal world, businesses deliver a product or service and get paid immediately for this product or service.
