Sales, Conversion and Optimization (CRO)

Sales, conversion and optimization, also known as CRO. Sounds fancy but fundamentally if you’re not making and offer and elegantly converting your subscribers and fans into customers you don’t have a business, you have a hobby.

There is nothing wrong with providing real value to your audience and being compensated well for it.Β  Sales isn’t about being a cornball guru or pitchman, it’s about having the skills and systems in place to ask for the money in exchange for the value you provide.

Whether it’s a $15 membership offer or a $5,000 custom website, you must master the art of the close. Stop discounting yourself and charge what you’re worth.
