The Conversion Formula:
CTA Conversion = S + T + V
This formula represents the likelihood of a prospect taking action (CTA) based on three critical factors:
Solution (S), Trust (T), and Value (V).
Solution (S): How well you understand and address the prospect's pain points, fears, and frustrations with a tailored solution.
The solution is weighted as 25% of the equation.
Trust (T): The level of confidence you inspire through your brand’s professionalism, credibility, and consistency.
Trust is weighted as 50% of the equation, as it is the most important factor in buying psychology.
Trust Factor #1: Impression - Do you make a confident and professional impression with your customers?
Trust Factor #2: Time - Do you spend enough time with your customers to build rapport and transfer knowledge and expertise to them?
Trust Factor #3: Social Proof - Do you have testimonials, case studies and referrals to ease their concerns that people like them work with you and they are happy?
Value (V): The perceived value of your lead magnet, trial offer, or initial engagement, convincing the prospect to take the next step. Having a crystal clear and strong Unique Selling Position (USP) is vital for this stage.
Value is weighted as 25% of the equation.
When these elements are perfectly aligned, your conversion rates will soar.
But how well are you performing in each area?
That’s what this assessment will help you discover.
To get started, simply rate yourself on each of the following questions from 1 to 5, where 5 is the best possible score. The total score will reveal how likely you are to convert prospects into customers.
The CTA is defined as the Call To Action, which in the early stages of engagement is typically a lead magnet, but essentially it is getting the lead to take the next step (conversion) in their buying journey with you.
This may mean booking a call, opting-in, joining membership in your community, scheduling an estimate, or signing up for a trial or demo, etc..
This equation works for each step of your funnel and your conversion process.
Call to Action (Compelling Reason to Meet):
If your score isn’t as high as you’d like, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many businesses struggle with optimizing their conversion strategies.
