What do you want for your business?

If you’re like most CEOs, your first though was, “more money!”

Your profits rely on making the sale, and creating reliable revenue can be a struggle for many small businesses.  Converting leads into sales can be challenging, but you can’t boost that bottom line without improving your conversion rate, so here are 7 easy strategies to convert leads into sales!

1. Get to Know Your Ideal Customer
   
   The more you understand your ideal clients’ wants, needs, pain points, motivators, and buying behaviors, the more equipped you are to create a marketing message that truly resonates with your target audience.
   
   
2. Personalize Your Message
   
   Your ideal customers may be comprised of multiple demographics, and a single, one-size-fits-all marketing message won’t bring the results you’re looking for. Personalization matters, and the more you can tailor your message to each segment of your audience, the more successful you’ll be.
   
   
3. Increase Your Coverage
   
   There are countless marketing channels available to you, email, newsletters, social media, paid ads, and more. USE THEM!! The more channels you use to reach your audience, the more your brand recognition will grow.
   
   
4. Build Trust
   
   Creating a wide fan base of loyal customers starts with trust. Show your customers that you are worthy of their trust (and their business!) by clearly communicating your brand’s value, proving that you understand their problems AND have great solutions, and by sharing reviews and testimonials from current clients.
   
   
5. Make It Easy
   
   You want to make your customers’ buying journey as easy as possible. If the path to conversion is too complicated, you’ll lose prospective customers along the way. Streamline the buying process and nurture customers through each step of the buying journey with clear instructions and CTAs.
   
   
6. Follow Up!
   
   Customers rarely make a purchase right away. It takes time to build relationships, and you have to nurture that connection to keep it growing. Reach out to website visitors to thank them for their interest and answer any follow-up questions. Continue to reach out with timely emails and offers, and don’t forget to do the same with existing customers to keep them coming back for more!
   
   
7. Track Your Leads
   
   It’s important to understand how potential customers move through your sales funnel. Track your leads so you can see where they’re originating, map their buying journey, and eliminate friction or bottlenecks that stand in the way of your conversions.

When you have a solid conversion strategy, you’ll see more sales, reliable revenue, and bigger profits!
