5 Ways to Get Your Customer to Say “Yes” When They’re on the Fence

How are your conversion rates? Are you closing the deal when it comes time? Your CTA’s are only useful if they actually prompt your audience to make the move. And you can only generate a sale if the other person is willing to say “yes”.

Most people though are often on the fence. In fact, according to WordStream, the average landing page conversion rate was only 2.35% in 2014. That’s why it’s so important to optimize the time you do have with your visitors. You want them to say “Yes” when they want to say “No”.

Here are five ways to get your customer to say “Yes” when they’re on the fence:

  1. Start with a Great First Impression – As the saying goes, first impressions are everything. This especially rings true online. You want your website to look great and put others at ease. Would you buy from a site that looked like it was thrown together in a day? Take time to put your best foot forward to anyone that would stumble upon your site.
  2. Consider Your Flow – What hoops do your customers have to jump through in order to say “Yes”? Sometimes we set up barriers to converting our visitors without even realizing it. Long forms and complicated processes can all ruin the flow and have them running the other direction. Make saying “yes” easy!
  3. Entice with Exclusive Offers – Everyone has their own version of a free consultation or an exclusive guide. It’s time to get creative with your offers. Think outside the box to entice your customers with a deal they just can’t refuse.
  4. Make Sure Your CTA Really Shines – You want your call to action to stand out in a crowd. Make sure it is clear, polished and right for your brand. Try testing a few to see which ones prove most effective. And, once you have the right one, don’t forget to fine tune it as you go along.
  5. Highlight What Makes You Special – Never miss an opportunity to tell others why you are so great. It is important to always highlight what makes your product or service stand out from the competition. Without being overly boastful, take time to let visitors know why they should choose you over the other guys.

One of the best places to start working on increasing conversion rates is to actually investigate how many people are making the plunge. You need hard numbers to truly evaluate your current effectiveness. Let Grand Marketing Solutions assist you in analyzing your current website statistics including conversion numbers.

    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
