 Convert

The job isn't done once you've gotten these strangers to your site. Now it's time to get them to open up a little. The convert stage is all about turning those strangers into leads. Here, your goal is to get the consumers virtual vulnerability. Their contact information is the most valuable leverage they have and to get them to give up this information, you have to present something of that same value in return. That value can be found in E-Books, blog posts, tips and resources. 


When it comes to converting, your most important tools are: Forms, Calls-To-Action and Landing Pages.

Forms

To become a lead, you have to collect the visitors information. Optimize your forms to make this process as simple as possible for potential customers. 

Calls-To-Action

Calls-To-Action are buttons that encourage your visitors to take a next step. These should entice visitors to give up that o so valuable contact info. "Download our E-Book" "Request a free evaluation" If your site lacks enticing CTAs, you'll lack leads. 

Landing Pages

After an interested visitor clicks a CTA, they should be redirected to a landing page. Your landing page has two main purposes; collect visitor's contact information and fulfill the offer expected from the call-to-action. When unknown visitors fill out landing page forms, they become a contact. 

Contacts

As more visitors become leads, you'll want to manage those contacts in one central database. That allows you to keep track of every interaction and take them through a sales process tailored to them. 

New Call-to-action

That wraps up the Convert stage. This will help you turn those visitors, into leads.
