STEP 1: INCREASE SALES FROM TRAFFIC YOU ALREADY HAVE 

Page 8: 3 steps and 7 Ways to Increase Website Conversions and Sales

Only a few Pop Out of the Funnel 

Visitors return to the Cloud  

Visitors return to the Cloud  

On average 97% of visitors leave without buying or inquiring!  

Page 9: 3 steps and 7 Ways to Increase Website Conversions and Sales

Let’s Start with Conversions Increase the 

conversion rate for your current 

traffic.  

For example If your conversion 

rate is 2%... 

Page 10: 3 steps and 7 Ways to Increase Website Conversions and Sales

Doubling Conversions As an example,  let’s say a page has 100 visits per day  and a 2% conversion rate.   That’s 2 transactions per day.  

How do you double it to 4? 1. Increase traffic to 200 visits/day, or 2. Increase conversions to 4% 

Both require work, and you should work on both.  But lets talk about conversions.  

Not easy to double traffic

Page 11: 3 steps and 7 Ways to Increase Website Conversions and Sales

So What is Conversion Rate? 

Simply put it’s the…  percentage of visitors that take a desired action such as inquire or buy.   But… Conversion rates vary widely  

Different starting points,  very different figures!  

???

Page 12: 3 steps and 7 Ways to Increase Website Conversions and Sales

Is there an Average Conversion Rate? 

It depends on what you measure. • Hubspot says average is 10%, but • Smartinsights.com says average  

is 3% US & 1.17% international 

Who’s right? Both! It depends on what you measure!  

Some measure from a specific page,  others overall website, new visitors, direct visits, etc.
