The real question is:\u00a0\ud83d\udc49 How many actually buy?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen many small businesses in Philadelphia with constant traffic.\u00a0People walking in. Asking questions. Looking around.\u00a0And then leaving without buying anything.<\/p>\n

Most business owners immediately think:\u00a0\ud83d\udc49 \u201cI need more customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

But many times, that\u2019s not the real problem.\u00a0The real issue is this:\u00a0\ud83d\udc49 You\u2019re not converting the customers you already have.<\/p>\n

And once you understand your conversion rate, you start seeing your business differently.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”What is conversion rate? (simple explanation)” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Your conversion rate<\/strong> is the percentage of interested people who end up buying.<\/p>\n

Simple formula:<\/p>\n

Conversion rate = sales \u00f7 interested customers<\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

10 people ask about a product
\n3 people buy<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 Conversion rate = 30%<\/p>\n

That means 7 people walked away without buying.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”The question that changes everything” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Let me ask you something directly:<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 Out of every 10 people who ask about your products or services\u2026
\nhow many actually buy?<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know the answer, you are losing opportunities without realizing it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Real example: retail store in Philadelphia” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]A small shop receives 50 people per day.<\/p>\n

30 ask about products.
\nOnly 10 buy.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 Conversion rate = 33%<\/p>\n

That means 20 potential customers left without making a purchase.<\/p>\n

Now imagine improving the conversion rate from 33% to 50%.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 15 sales instead of 10.<\/p>\n

No extra traffic.
\nNo extra advertising.
\nNo extra rent.<\/p>\n

Just better conversion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Example 2: takeout restaurant in South Philly” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]A restaurant receives 20 calls or menu inquiries.<\/p>\n

12 people place an order.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 Conversion rate = 60%<\/p>\n

Now imagine improving the ordering process and increasing conversion to 70%.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 14 orders instead of 12.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s 2 extra sales per day.
\nAround 60 extra orders per month.<\/p>\n

Again:<\/p>\n

No extra marketing.<\/p>\n

Just better sales execution.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”The biggest mistake small businesses make” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Many businesses think selling means:<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 \u201cWaiting for the customer to decide.\u201d<\/p>\n

But real selling is guidance.<\/p>\n

If customers don\u2019t buy, it usually isn\u2019t because they don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s because:<\/p>\n
