Enough with the purchase funnel!

I have had it with the Purchase Funnel.  I don't want to see any Purchase Funnel ever again.

OK.  That's stretching it a bit.  But seriously, do people still use the purchase funnel?  I know it's one of the key metrics in CRM/DM.  But there must be a better way of presenting data - or a concept, for that matter - beyond the usual funnels and conversion rates.

There must be a better way.
