Business Concept of the Day: Conversion Rate đź‘Ť

Today’s business financial concept you need to know is Conversion Rate.

Hey Business Owner 👋, today’s business financial concept you need to know is Conversion Rate.

Why? Because Conversion Rate is the second of five drivers (or influencers) of Revenue. Leads was the first. Over the next few days, we’ll look at each of the five revenue drivers.

Conversion Rate đź‘Ť

Conversion Rate is the percentage of your leads that actually become paying customers.

The goal is to get your Conversion Rate as high as possible.

If you have a high conversion rate, you probably have one (or more) of the following:

  • Your marketing efforts are targeting the right leads.

  • You have a product/service that’s in high demand (product/market fit).

  • You have a really good sales team and/or sales process in place.

  • You’re priced too low.

  • You don’t have that much competition.

If you have a low conversion rate, you probably have one (or more) of the following:

  • You’re not getting enough of the right leads.

  • You haven’t quite found product/market fit (you haven’t found demand for your product yet).

  • Your sales team and/or sales process needs help.

  • You’re priced too high.

  • You have a ton of competition (and/or market saturation).

Conversion Rate is displayed as a percentage. So, if you had 10 leads last week, and 2 of those leads converted to a paying client, then you had a Conversion Rate of 20% (2 paying customers / 10 leads = 20% Conversion Rate).
