Why Business Leads are not enough?

We have been told getting sale leads make your business a success. But a lead that never reaches a decision to buy is ultimately just a liability. It's not enough to find a lot of interested people. At some point you need to get those people to decide to purchase something from you if you want to stay in business.

Convincing People We Have What They Need - Conversion

Conversion is the process of getting the customer, or lead, to a state of mind where they have decided they are going to get what you are offering. Let's be very clear on this because it's important. It is not the process of actually getting the customer to buy. It is the process of getting them to decide in their minds that they are going to buy; to get them to say "okay let's do it" in their minds and begin to picture themselves already owning it rather than continuing to debate with themselves about whether or not they really want it.

Two critical aspects of conversion:

1. identifying the best solution for the customer, and
2. the fact that people buy from people

Remember that business is about helping ourselves by helping others. The best sales person (or conversion expert) is someone who is always genuinely trying to get the best for their customers. They do this by taking the time to understand what their customers want and then helping them identify ways to meet their needs and wants. As with all problem solving it is important to understand the question before offering solutions.
