Conversion – What Is It?
• Very Ambiguous Term. In web terms:
o Is it ‘% of Visitors who fill in a Form’?
o Is it ‘% of Visits to Close’?
• It can be many things, but in essence it is the conversion from one status to another, via a single or combination of steps to fulfill an online/stated objective.

Visitors are not Clicking / ConvertingWHY?• “Nowadays people don’t want to talk to sales
until they are 60-70% along their decision cycle” (Sirius Decisions)
• Therefore if the only next step or CTA is ‘talk to sales’ then very likely no contact, no prospect.
• Common Problem = minimal next step options (or leaky websites with random next steps)
“I’m not ready to talk, but I might engage earlier in the (AIDA) cycle if there was reason to ….”
Minimal Options for Conversion
Phone Number and Email
Incredible Missed Opportunity
No engagement, interaction or next steps with 97-98% of visitors

“Intelligent Digital Self Service”
Create an Engagement and Conversion Zone:• Offer More Engagement Options, Next Steps and Calls-
To-Action along all stages of the AIDA decision cycle
• Make Options available in all places (no leaks!)
• For B2Bs and more complex sales cycles: Leverage, map & deliver content based on decision cycles.
• Transform all web ‘zones’ into lead generation engines, and drive educational and promotional traffic there.
