    The Commonly Misunderstood Marketing ProblemAlmost Everyone Is Making

    So what is this marketing problem?

    Its conversion.Yes, conversion.

    Let me explain.

    Because all the marketing, trac and sales problems youre experiencing all have onecommon thread getting your target prospect to take an ACION. Which means convertingthem to do something we want them to do.

    Tink about it.

    Its conversion that happens when they click on a Facebook or Google ad.Its conversion that happens when you post a blog post and visitors respond with a comment.

    Its a conversion that happens when people opt into your database.

    WARNING! Dont Get Conused...

    Most people think conversions mean getting someone to register on a landing page or optinto a database or purchase a product.

    And yes, conversions do mean all o this. But they also mean much, much more.

    Because conversions play a pivotal and central role at every point o a prospect and customerexperience.

    Conversion encompass

    All your oine lead generation activities

    All the trac you get online

    All your database building

    All your rst time customer sales

    All your customer repurchases

    Lets discuss some o these in more detail

    How Conversions = TrafcGetting trac to your website is intimately related to conversions. Lets say or example you

    have an SEO strategy to get trac to your website. Youre doing all the right things and youremaking all the right steps by

    Writing articles

    Creating Youube Videos

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    10/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 10

    Posting to discussion boards

    Which means youre getting back links and higher in Googles rankings.

    However...

    Just because youre higher on Google does NO mean youre getting that click i.e. conversion(doesnt mean youre making any money either).

    Your description still needs to be enticing enough to elicit an action.

    And more than that

    When a visitor hits your website, the design and layout needs to motivate them to DOsomething. Aer all, whats the point in doing all the grunt word SEO requires i it doesnttranslate into the conversion you desire?

    Lets talk about paid trafc.

    How do you get trac with Google Ad Words? Dont worry - its not a trick question.

    Answer: somebody has to CLICK on your ad.

    And that means youve just clocked up a CONVERSION.

    Get it?

    So i youre not getting the conversion youre not getting the trac. And i youre not gettingthe trac youre not getting that lead or sale.

    Ten theres the one big trac source that everyone is talking about today

    Facebook ads

    How do you get trac with Facebook ads? Again, this isnt a trick question.

    Answer: you get the CLICK. Which again means CONVERSION.

    Without the conversion you dont get the trac.

    And what about your Facebook page be it a personal page or an page? I you want tomonetise your Facebook riends and ollowers and the relationship you have on Facebook then you MUS get people to click on your links.

    In other words, you need to get people to CONVER when you make a recommendation.

    How Conversions = Email Click ThroughsTere are two main actions that take place aer you send an email:

    1. Te emailed gets opened i.e. the open rate

    2. Te links in the email are clicked on i.e. the click through rate (CR).

    Simple right? And whenever an email is opened that is considered as a CONVERSION.

    When a link is clicked on in an email it is considered as a CONVERSION. Again, mostpeople dont think about conversions in this context.

    So as you can see conversions are involved at ALL stages o the prospect and customer buying

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    11/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 11

    experience. And theyre involved both online and oine, too (Ill talk more about this in amoment).

    Conversion Opportunities Thats LikeMoney In The Bank

    Lets create a laundry list o all the metrics you should be tracking all o which hand youextremely important CONVERSION stats and money in the bank i you work on them. Youneed to track:

    Trafc sources how many visitors are direct visitors? How many are search visitors?How many are reerral visitors?

    New and unique visitor count - particularly important because new and unique visitorsare the lieblood o every online business.

    Return visitors - return visitors are DIFFEREN rom unique visitors. Teyre dierent inscope and psychology which means the conversion strategy is dierent, too.

    Visitor conversion these are prospects that have never purchased beore. Whatscommonly thought o by many as the conversion rate.

    Customer conversion people that have purchased beore and buy again.

    Repurchase requency how oen customers return to repurchase again and again. Everytime they buy again is considered a CONVERSION.

    Cost per conversion as a direct response medium the Internet lets you quantiy what itcosts to get a prospect to take action. Tis helps you set your budget.

    Bounce rate this measures how many visitors arrive at your website and then click awaywithout taking any urther action. High bounce rates mean unqualied visitors or landingpages not optimised or conversion.

    All these metrics are ound prot opportunities and are ALL considered conversion rates.

    How Conversions = Oine SalesDid you know lots o your customers are NO getting your emails? Its true. Why? Because

    trigger happy spam lters and cluttered inboxes mean your subscribers and customers aremissing out on what youre sending.

    And its only getting worse.

    Much worse.

    Which is why most o our smart and most successul clients supplement their onlineactivities with OFFLINE promotions. In act, now that the Internet is so popular it meansthat oine is becoming a ripe opportunity or smart entrepreneurs whoknow how to use oine marketing.

    Fact is, ewer people are sending oers in the mail and this meansless clutter in the PO BOX and that means higher response rates.

    Picture this

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    12/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 12

    You run a print ad in a newspaper. Prospects respond by calling a phone number at a callcentre. Te details are collected by the operator and then passed onto a mail house... who inturn send out the direct mail piece. Finally, that letter is ollowed up with a live phone call.

    Every stage o this scenario has a CONVERSION metric. Consider:

    When a prospect responds to the newspaper ad its a CONVERSION (whats commonlycalled the cost per lead).

    When someone calls into the call centre theres a CONVERSION rom people calling andthen ollowing through.

    Ten theres a CONVERSION o people who respond to the direct mail letter.

    Finally, theres a CONVERSION rom the ollow up phone call to the direct mail letter.

    Are you starting to get the picture? Conversions cover the entire spectrum o ALL yourmarketing activities.

    Both oine and online.

    How Conversions = Reerrals,JV Endorsements, Face-To-Face Salesand Winning Product Launches Too!

    Conversions infuence joint venture partners when they agree to endorse your business.

    Conversions infuence your customers when they reer your business to their riends andcolleagues.

    Conversion infuence customers when theyre ace to ace and they say yes to the purchase.Conversions are what keep your product launches interesting and compelling rom prelaunch

    all the way to post launch.

    In short...

    Conversions are much, MUCH more thanwhat happens on a landing page.

    Capiche?

    With So Many Conversion Opportunities,Where The $%^& Do You Begin?Okay, so ar youve seen that conversions take place right throughout your marketing unnel

    and youve seen many opportunities to bump your conversion rate and ultimately make moremoney. But where do you start? With so many hugely protable conversion opportunities itseasy to get conused about what to do rst and where to start.

    Should you

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    13/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 13

    weak a landing page?

    Improve the subject header o an email?

    Streamline your order coupon?

    Split test a sales page?

    Rework a telemarketing script?

    Conduct an A/B test on a Google Ad?

    And so on and so orth.

    So where should you start? Te answer is simple and surprisingly obvious. In act, its thedierence between growing your business slowly and growing it quickly.

    Introducing C.P.O.

    Conversion Pipeline OptimisationLet me explain what C.P.O. is and what it can do or you. And please, i youre skimming

    here, slow down a bit and really take the ollowing in. Youre going to see how to leverageeverything you do and get bigger prots rom the same amount o work.

    Basically, there are two ways to grow a business:

    1. Sequentially

    2. Geometrically

    Sequential growth takes place where you optimise UNRELAED customer conversionpipelines o your business e.g. or dierent products in dierent market segments.

    Geometric growth is when you optimise one complete conversion pipeline thus attainingcompounded growth.

    An example will clariy the power o C.P.O. Lets take the ollowing 3 stage conversionpipeline

    Stage #1: A direct mail letter sends 1000 people to a landing page.

    Stage #2: Te landing page compels 20% o visitors to click on the order button, so they

    can enter their credit card details.

    Stage #3: A credit card submission orm compels 10% o people to ollow through and pay.

    1000 people

    X

    20%

    X

    10%

    Total: 20 customers

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    14/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 14

    I we test changes to this pipeline and improve each related stage by 20%, the net gain on thebusiness looks like this

    1200 people are sent to the landing page rom the direct mail letter (beore there were1000 people)

    288 people go through to the order page rom the landing page i.e. 1200 X 24% = 288(prior there were 20% ollow through rom 1000 visitors)

    34 new customers are compelled to ollow and pay with their credit card = 288 X 12% =34 new customers (prior there were 10% ollowing through on 200 visitors).

    1.20 (20% gain)

    X

    1.20 (20% gain)

    X

    1.20 (20% gain)

    otal: 1.728

    72% net gain.Total: 34 new customers.

    THIS IS GEOMETRIC GROWTH!

    Te compounded eects o a connected pipeline are illustrated below:

    Compare this to the sequential growth o a series o independent and unrelated gains made

    in the business (lets say we made the same improvements or 3 dierent products selling to 3dierent market segments).

    Heres what wed nd:

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    15/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 15

    Te result net increase is the AVERAGE o each improvement.

    20%

    PLUS

    20%

    PLUS20%

    otal: 60% divided by 3

    Net gain: Only 20%.

    Can you see the dierence? I not, let me spell it out or you

    weaking a related pipeline results in a 260% dierence in net gain compared to

    tweaking an unrelated pipeline.

    Tats the power o Conversion Pipeline Optimization. You do the same work but or much,MUCH bigger gains!

    How To Grow Your Business Geometrically

    STEP #1: Identiy the conversion pipeline with the biggest potential to yieldthe biggest proft increases with the least amount o eort and time.

    Tis is where you review the areas o your marketing that youre

    1. Spending the most money on

    2. aking up your greatest human resources

    3. Account or most o your businesss leads and customers

    o undercover these answers simply ask

    Which lead generation activity and/or medium accounts orm the majority o your

    expenditure?

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    16/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 16

    Which lead generation activity consumes most o your sales and marketing teams time?

    Which lead generation activities are getting you the biggest results?

    How do you convert most o your leads into customers at this stage?

    Which customer conversion activity gets you the best results?

    Which systems do you have in place to increase the rst transaction by 10% 20% andmore?

    And so onTese questions let you drill DEEP into the opportunities and pipelines that will deliver to

    you the biggest reward in the least possible time, eort and money.

    STEP #2: Set a specifc, measurable and accountable goal

    Calculate a realistic and achievable goal based on this analysis, taking into account at leastone complete and related conversion pipeline.

    Tats refected by this image:

    STEP #3: Alter your message in each stage o the conversion pipeline

    The Dierence Between The Tacticianand The Strategist

    Teres massive dierence between the tactical thinker and the strategic thinker. Tose

    dierences are as ollows:

    Tactician - shis attention rom shiny object to shiny object.

    Strategist - has end in mind and reverse engineers the outcome step by step.

    Tactician - caught up in the day to day running o their business.

    Strategist- chooses the approach thats most likely to deliver the desired outcome.

    Tactician - jumps on whats hot (today its Facebook. Yesterday it was Ad Words. Longbeore that it was classied advertising).

    Strategist - reviews the positives and negatives o whats hot and makes a act baseddecision on these merits.

    Tactician - immediate gratication.

    Strategist - opportunity cost and long term gains.

    As you can see, Conversion Pipeline Optimisation is all about being a strategic thinker.Because it makes it easier or you to quickly and easily decide where your biggest opportunitieshide relative to your overall vision.

    Conversion Proft Centre #1Get That Trafc!

    Facebook trafc is all the rage now. Facebook represents the most lucrative source o paidtrac that exists anywhere because...

    Cost per click is ar lower than Google

    Facebook doesnt have as many rules as Google (yet)

    Facebook is growing like wildre!

    Facebook is way, way easier compared to the complexity o Google

    Tat being the case, there are a handul o critical secrets that account or the majority o thetargeted trac youll get rom Facebook ads.

    And one o these critical secrets are...

    Never, ever send your Facebook trafc to anything other than a customwelcome tab on your Facebook page.

    Let me explain.

    When someone clicks on a Facebook ad where are they expecting to be directed?

    A Facebook page!

    Right?

    But i you look around at sooo many Facebook ad campaigns running today youll see people

    making a big mistake.

    Tat mistake is simply this

    Sending trac rom a Facebook ad going to a website landing page or Youube video.

    Tis mistake is bleeding them o money thousands and tens o thousands o $$$ out o theirpockets. And the worst part is most Facebook advertisers dont even know it!

    You see, when it comes to the Internet, you MUS give visitors what they expect. I you leadthem down an unexpected path - or i you conuse them or even one second - they click away.

    And one o the easiest ways to conuse people (when it comes to Facebook ads) is to pushthem AWAY rom Facebook.

    Over the page is a good example o a well converting Facebook landing page. Study itsdesign and youll garner a number o winning design and copy elements.

    Conversion Proft Centre #2Get That Email Opened!

    Email subject lines are oen orgotten or slapped together by most marketers. In our view,thats insane.

    Because we spend bundles o $$$ or advertising... were constantly wrestling with Googleto optimise our Ad Words accounts and o we course we obsess with building our organiclisting

    Only to slap together an email subject line and send it to our list.

    Its a world gone mad!

    As you probably know, the subject line is the headline or your email. And just as youd neverrun an ad o any kind without a curiosity building headline you should never send an email

    without a curiosity provoking subject line.

    Which means...

    i your email open rates are abysmal.

    i youre slapping together your subject lines in order get that email sent...

    Ten you could easilydouble or triple your open rates - which means doubling and triplingthe prots you garner rom email - with what youre about to discover.

    A word o caution rst...

    While best practice models and swipe les are important do not SOLELY rely on them.Because every market is dierent. And the personality each o us cultivate in the mindso our market can vary widely. (Pete once sent an email to his list with the subject line:Haemorrhoids? It worked well to his list because they know hes irreverent and kind odierent. Might not work or a more conservative market.)

    Which means this

    Far, ar more important than the swipes are the principals behind why these work.Understand the principals and then tailor them or YOUR list.

    So, right now, were going to give you 13 boilerplate subject lines that will serve you well inmost situations.

    And then well explore the principals behind why these work so well.

    Conversion Proft Centre #5Make Them Stick!

    Okay, lets take a look at what happens once you get an order.

    So you just get an order rom a new customer. Tats great. But your job isnt done.

    Why? Because i you oer a money back guarantee (which you must ALWAYS do) then thatcustomer can ask or a reund.

    Which means you gotta give that money back.

    So the sale isnt done until that customer is satised and holds onto that product.

    So how do get the sale to stick? And how do you get happy customers?

    Well, the obvious idea is create a killer product and make sure your product delivers onyour promises.

    What else? Here are a ew ideas:

    1. Give a surprise bonus this has the added benet o engaging reciprocation. Whichmeans minimising your reunds.

    2. Follow up go ahead and jump on the phone. Make sure your customer is happy.

    3. Keep them inormed Amazon.com do a great job o this. Whenever you place anorder with them youre able to track your order at each key stage o delivery.

    4. Under promise and over deliver I your standard delivery time is one week youshould promise 10 days or two weeks. Tis way you have a built in saety buer andyou pleasantly surprise your customer.

    5. Post-purchase reassurance resell the benets o your product. Make it easy oryour customers to eel good about their purchase.

    Heres an example post-purchase reassurance letter Alexi craed or a client. Simple, but itworks :)

    I you need to get that sale and you need to get it FAS nothing works better than the

    Dramatic Demonstration.

    Remember Godreys Vacuums bowling ball demonstration? What an awesomedemonstration o proo and suction power o their vacuums!

    Teres no amount o ancy wordsmith that will ever trump a dramatic demonstration.

    Consider Elisha Otis.

    In 1852, Otis introduced the saety elevator, which prevented the all o the cab i the cablebroke.

    Te problem was his saety elevator wasnt selling. He sold only three in 1853 and none in therst ew months o the ollowing year.

    So he decided to conduct dramatic demonstration o his saety elevator at the New YorkCrystal Palace.

    Hoisted high above the crowd a mechanic cut the rope suspending the carriage in the air. Tecarriage dropped a ew inches and then stopped. His revolutionary new designed had worked,stopping the platorm rom crashing to the ground.

    Te Otis elevator became a runaway success.

    Tats because everyone could see it in action via a dramatic demonstration!

    Ten theres Blendtec.

    Every week on their website, Blendtec dramatically demonstrate the power o their blenders.On www.willitblend.com theyve blend everything rom kitchen iPods, guitar hero even CDso Justine Bieber.

    Tey get millions and millions o hits and generate tens o millions in sales each year inblender sales.

    Check out the image below. Teyre destroying an iPhone 4 (3.3 million views!)

    Finally...

    Consider the most commonly known demonstration proo - the Puppy Dog close.

    I youve ever been involved in direct sales you would have heard o this close beore.

    Its as old as selling!

    And its still thriving in the modern day. Why? Because nothing beats the proo o actuallyexperiencing the emotional benets o a product.

    I you take a closer look, the Puppy Dog close is nothing more than aFREE SAMPLE youre letting the product do the selling or you (in this case, a cute little puppy dog).

    So i you can nd a way to dramatically demonstrate your product, go ahead and do so. Andi you cant nd a way to demonstrate your product, try harder!

    Teres always a way. And there is no conversion tool more eectiveand potent than the Dramatic Demonstration.

    Ten again theres one more idea that is almost as possible... andworthy o mention.

    Let me explain.

    One o the dangers o the Internet, direct mail and space advertising is its impersonal nature.Because youre not ace to ace with your prospect, it means you have a much higher hurdle to

    jump or her to trust you.

    And that means youve got to do everything you can to win trust and towin trust quickly.

    So heres what to do

    Get those third party proo elements ront and centre! I youve had any media mentions andproles, go ahead and eatures them prominently.

    I you supply prolic clients, eatures them too.

    Here are three examples o websites that do it well:

    One nal dirty little trick

    Im not sure i this totally legit, but lots o savvy operators do this. Soyou may want to do it too but just seek legal advice beore you do itin case.

    Heres the idea

    A website runs banner advertising on such prestigious news sitessuch as Fox News, CNN and Forbes. Ten they put logos o thesemedia outlets and preace their logos with the words As seen on

    Neat trick huh? Creates the illusion o genuine media coverage butwithout the hassle o craing the press release.

    Masters o Conversion Super Conerence

    Aussie Experts Teaching Winning StrategiesThat Work In Australia Today

    Over the years Ive been asked many times by Aussie clients - does the stu taught inAmerica work here, too?

    And its a air question because as Aussies we ARE a sceptical bunch.

    We are slower to believe any old claim.

    We ARE more reserved and dont go or the rah, rah, rah that others are known or.

    Which is why in putting together the line up o speakers or the Masters o Conversion SuperConerence we searched or the best experts we could nd...

    But more than that, we searched or Aussie speakers who are selling to the Australian marketright now.

    Tese are world class experts that have the runs on the board and have made huge gains inprot or their clients and their own businesses.

    Here in Australia.

    And Im happy to report weve pulled together a heluva line up!

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    36/37

    Pete Godfrey & Alexi Neocleous Conversion Pipeline Blueprint 36

    In the next ew weeks well go into more detail this line up and why theyre uniquely qualiedto share the stage with us.

    This line up o experts cover the entire cross section o conversions, rom landing pagesto trafc to email to product to video sales letter and everything in between.

    So you get the complete picture, the complete blueprint to ollow to boost your conversionsright across your business.

    Another BIG Reason Masters o Conversion Is Dierent

    While there are many seminars and events in Australia that share outrageously protablecontent, many o them also possess an inherent weakness.

    And its this weakness that makes it so much harder or attendees to walk away ANDimplement what they learnt.

    Whats this weakness?

    Its not the content.

    Its not the lack o expertise on stage.

    Its simply a lack o a theme thats synergistic between all the experts on stage.

    Picture this...

    You attend a business or marketing event. Tere are eight speakers. Its a paid event whichmeans theres mostly content and little selling.

    And the speakers share really good content. As a participant you receive a barrow ull o

    ideas... hundreds o ideas in act.

    However...

    You get so many UNREALAED ideas that when you back to your oce to implement, youget stuck.

    You dont know where to begin.

    And you dont know how to get unstuck.

    Sound amiliar?

    At Masters o Conversions were not making that mistake. Because weve got a tight andnarrow theme that ALL the speakers are going to ocus on - conversions.

    And each speakers talk is careully constructed so that each o them relates to the otherspeakers.

    In other words...

  • 8/3/2019 Conversion Pipeline Blueprint

    You walk away with a blueprint that optimises, improves andbumps the response on each o your conversion unnels!
