I posted a discussion earlier about customer avatars and I decide to ask the same question a little differently. This one is to see what kind of issues companies are having getting higher conversions in their marketing and sales funnels. Are you able to get conversion over 35% or even higher? This would be a great discuss to answer the age old questions around marketing and generating sales.

Best,

One (of many) drivers of conversion success is market segmentation. Who is your actual archetypal customer? And then, what personas on the buying committee are you targeting? Answering that in depth is always a good start.

Diane,

maybe we could start by addressing the biggest challenges companies have when it comes to setting and tweaking online sales funnels?

What do you mean by 35% conversions? Opt-ins or sales? It varies from industry to industry.

That's why I may focus on challenges first and determine common denominators before discussing solutions.

So, what do you think?

Phill,

Great start in conversation. Yes, conversion in sales and opt-ins. For me conversion increases when you back in the right product offer and like you said "common denominators". Lots of pieces there to getting it right.

Bhupinder, great question. Working on some very specific targeting for a financial service is key. Finding your niche is an important step. There is a lot more, but definitely need to get that part right. As for book, self publishing how-to books need to find use key words and number of other things to find the best audience, etc.

This might sound crazy, but we do no advertising any more. We are dependent on by appointment and referral/intro as much as possible.
