See how it worksThe Pirate Funnel allows you to easily identify bottlenecks in your customer acquisition and retention process to help you reach your goals as you build and scale.
The package
The case
AAARRR!!! Initially designed by Dave McClure, the Pirate Funnel visually represents all of the critical steps in customer acquisition and retention. As we scale, our goal is to lower Customer Acquisition Costs and increase retention. The funnel helps you identify bottlenecks and streamline your process.
The mechanics
The Pirate Metrics funnel is broken into Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Revenue, Retention and Referral – in short AAARRR! For each step, the funnel asks questions that will guide your thinking about best optimizing it. The funnel also provides examples of drivers of growth for each step. Fill in your results and conversion rates to identify your bottlenecks, and then use the G.R.O.W.S. process to overcome them. Keep in mind that the steps of the funnel can be in a different order depending on the type of business you are in – so think about the pieces of your conversion funnel before you start using it! Use the Pirate Metrics Funnel as a canvas and define your own funnel with the metrics that are appropriate for your business.
The purpose

Beyond the download
The PDF is yours to keep. But a model changes something only when it touches the work — and that is what Axibra does with it. The model becomes the structure your decisions are made in, and every outcome stays traceable back to the input it came from.
In practice
For years we applied this model by hand, in client engagements. It now runs inside Axibra.

From here on
Axibra is where these models run. It carries a decision through to the work that follows it, and keeps every result traceable back to the input it came from. If you would rather start with a conversation, we are one call away.
Strategy does not fail in the thinking. It fails in the handover.
