About this playbook
Conversion optimisation is about moving more people from prospect to customer at each stage of your sales process. It starts with understanding where you lose people: in discovery, demos, proposals or closing. Then run small tests to improve each step. Common tactics include clearer value propositions, faster response times, better sales calls, and stronger follow-up. The goal is not perfection but steady improvement. An extra 5 per cent conversion rate can double your revenue.
