How to increase leads from your website

Sherrone Lobban has designed a strategy that includes connecting Marketing, Advertising/Promotion and Sales. She calls this strategy MAPS for short. MAPS is the most important element of any business and all three areas support the other. You can be great at generating leads from marketing and advertising/promoting but poor at converting those leads into sales. That is why they have been grouped together. There are more marketers than sales persons these days. Since the advent of social media, it has become very easy to market and advertise to a larger number of persons. But many small businesses admit that they fail when it comes to converting leads into sales.

So let us see if you are leaving money on the table. Let us start with your website. Your website is important in the MAPS strategy.

Sherrone, our founder has helped many businesses big and small grow revenue. In addition, She is the founder of several successful businesses and has had her fair share of trials and errors, but she is now very happy to share her success formula with you.

How may leads did you get on your website last year (or over the last 12 months). OK let us assume it was 1000 leads and your average conversion rate was 20%.

Quick note – you can use tools such as google analytics or a plugin on your website to calculate your conversion rate or use this formula:

Conversion Rate = Total number of conversions / Total number of unique visitors * 100 

Ok, let us get back to your website. Assume, each customer spends an average of $1000 with you by visiting your website. What was your gross revenue over the same period? We are assuming that it was $100,000 (We are being conservative). Profit margins will not be discussed in this session.

Let us calculate the numbers (its all about the numbers right?).

Connected MAPS Strategy

Focus Previous Increase New 
Lead 1000 10% 1100
Conversion 20% 50% 30%
# of items sold 200 20 330
Price $1000 0 $1000
Revenue $200,000 more than 65% $330,000

 

Surprise, we under promised and over delivered, that is what we do for our customers, we help them to win. So we just found $130,000 for this client. That is more than a 50% increase in revenue by simple increasing your lead, conversion rate and sales. Now you might be saying ‘yeah that is all good’ but how do I get this done practically. First let me say, you do not need a marketing or sales degree to get this done. 

Your website is the key. For now, We will ignore social media marketing and focus on your website. What is the first thing you see on your home page? Does it clearly state why your client should choose you over the competitor? Are you giving your client a ridiculously valuable offer that they would be crazy to refuse? Your answer will tell us why your website is not efficient in increasing leads and closing sales. Your website should have a clear value proposition

Secret to Turning Website Visitors into Customers

Here are a few tips to get your website working for you.

First you want to Disturb, Engage, Educate and Present your offer (DEEP) to your website visitors.

Disturb clients by knowing their problem/pain point and providing them with the solution for it. Do not provide them your solution, instead, provide a solution to fix their WHY. For instance, one of our customers, a car sales company offered great products and services but their website was very ‘mundane’. The homepage had links to cars and provided links to request quotations. Whilst first time car buyers are motivated by the need for  mobility. The dealer that they purchase the car from will largely depend on the experience they have during the car buying process. So instead, this car company should have a statement at the top of their page that says: We offer convenient and hassle-free car buying experience. Get a new car in less than 3 days. This creates a differential in the mind of the customer. There are many car lots around, but the car dealer who can get customers mobile faster, is definitely the one customers would choose. We recently helped a customer to write a value proposition for their website and needless to say the conversion rate went up by 48% in less than 14 days.

Now that you have the attention of your client, it is time to engage them. You may offer an eBook, checklist, guide or other valuable item. We call this engage because the customer must engage with your website by providing their contact information in order to receive the valuable offer.

A website visitor usually visits a site at least 3 or more times before buying. Engage them with a valuable and irresistible offer. The next step is to educate them.  You have their email and you might have sent them an eBook in order to receive their email addresses. Many small businesses have thousands of email addresses and do nothing with them. That is you leaving money on the table. Take for example, another client who had a great Engage strategy but felt overwhelmed when it came to educating their customers. Because of this, they had a very low lead conversion rate and sales numbers were low as well. This client was great at doing eBooks, so they were given advise on how to repackage the content and Educate their customers. 

Finally, it is time to present your offer. This is done while you educate your client. As a matter of fact, clients are more likely to buy during the education process. Trust is built and the client will have confidence in your knowledge and abilities.
