Why Your Website Isn't Getting You the Sales You Need

A high performing website is like having a 24/7 salesman. This sales rep works for you while you sleep, play, serve clients, spend time with family or work in the business -- every single hour and second of the day your site can be growing your business. If it's optimized, it's working like a well-trained salesman -- attracting leads, inviting potential clients to see your products, conversing with them, setting appointments and closing sales. It's a tireless worker that never sleeps, works all year round and serves as another pillar of your business success.

They are in the lead generation business and the closing business. The best salesman knows how to generate their leads and how to close sales. And the best way to do that is through traffic on your website." In other words, if you have an optimized site, you can consistently generate leads and thus close more sales...
