I am unable to convert the traffic into sales or leads?
I have not gotten many leads in the past two months, although before that I was attracting leads. My traffic is same as before- what happened? How do I start to generate leads again? My website is www.enukesoftware.com.

Hello Dinesh, first of all analyze your traffic and try to know where it comes from and what the traffic referrals are. Also check the bounce rate of your landing web pages because most of the times traffic does not convert due to irrelevance information on a page where visitor lands to. If user can't find relevant information on your landing page then he may leave your website immediately. I suggest you to optimize your landing pages, properly use call to action elements, and check navigation features. See whether all of these elements are appropriate as per your target audience or not.

May be there is some mistake in Sales strategies and must be chaos in traffic. Generally you have to distribute the prospects of business as confirmed, semi confirmed and future prospects or dead clients. You must divide your time and energy accordingly.

You should use search engine marketing and make sure that you have a landing page which converts your web traffic into potential customers. Check out leadpages.net and Google Adwords

Hello Dinesh,
A few quick suggestions: 1 - Highlight your portfolio it is impressive but almost hidden on your home page. 2 - Create a testimonial page with photos of actual clients and video if you are able to compliment the slides on the homepage. 3 - As previously suggested "Pull" potential clients into a dialogue where they trust you to deliver by providing valuable information on how to hire coders and developers. 4 - Offer a free site or project evaluation to elicit a connection and possible conversion.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your future conversions. Let me know how it is going. www.linkedin.com/in/randallthompsonsothebyscfo/

Hi Mr. Chowdhary,
Great to see you working in the sales function at Enuke Software. I was browsing through your website and found that the testimonials and site content didn't tell me what your USP is.
How do you differentiate yourself from the rest of the other providers available? We have speed (with built-in quality), and value as great measures for SW project success and none of those measures even came up.
In today's world metrics is very important, and when you purchase some product from e_bay you may look at the rating of the auctioning professional and why not create something along those lines and manage the "Pull" rather than pushing customers to come into your world?
Good luck.

Hello Mr. Nanguneri,
Thanks about the USB thing! The "Pull" over "Push" concept is also commendable.

Use the same approach with your website as you would with a cold call or an initial prospecting email. The top of your page shows a great deal of "stuff" but it doesn't state the follow: Feature, Action, Benefit. In other words, Welcome to XYZ's website we specialize in helping businesses solve problem A with product/service B by doing C. Assuming you know your market customer, and their primary concerns that should help you leverage how you should position that statement.

Some great answers provided. A quick look at your site shows me what you do. As a visitor to your site can you remind me of the pain I am trying solve by visiting your site? Then can you remind me of the increased pain I will suffer if I don't act to resolve my pain and then..can you offer me a white page, special report, free 30 minute call to diagnose my pain?
Good Luck

Hello John,

I totally agree with the feed back already given. People want something for free. The site is very content heavy and you have all your info on the front page but what can they get for contacting you? In this business you have to know how to reel in the willing clients and convert the maybe to understand why they need what you have. Its just like the grocery store you pick up that item that you had no intents or no knowledge that was in even in the store, but the advertising of the package or display made you choose them anyway. You have to be the item that people put in the cart even if they are unsure why they need you. Show a video and a free something campaign or a drawing to let them know they should pick you over your competition.
Good luck its a great field to be in know a day.

Hello Angela,
Thanks for your valuable suggestions!
I will definitely keep a track of these things.

The answers given are helpful ones. There are almost 1 billion websites. Having a website today unless you are very established and even at that is no assurance that you will have any sales. Those days are over.
The only thing that makes a business money is paying clients. Traffic matters to businesses that want to attract advertisers but for businesses that have a product or service you have to have paying clients or customers.
I don't care about traffic, leads or prospects. That was a focus for all sites 10+ years ago. I agree with the note on personal and conversations. As the technology becomes more powerful the business relationships can be more personal just like we are having here.
Mosaichub and LinkedIn are great examples of that. They are for building business relationships. I am a LinkedIn publisher and I write on this topic

Hello John,
Thanks for your answer! I completely agree with you when it comes to traffic. But, I also expect some business from my website. After all, websites are the soul faces of any organization in this Internet driven world.
Thanks for the informative article! It helped!
Thanks again!

Hi Dinesh I agree you have to have paying clients/business. That is my point. Think like a hunter or trapper that needs to feed himself and his family. What if there are hundreds of deer or rabbit around and not one goes to your trap or you can shoot. The problem is there is something wrong with your trap or your gun or your ability. All three of those are in your control. If there is no game in the area then you need to find where the game is. Find the game then make sure you can catch or get it.

Great answer Joleen. To build on it a little more, take a look at your sales copy. I like to lead with the problem that my prospects face, then let them know how I can provide solutions. Then, make sure that your key words accurately reflect what is on your website. If people come to the site expecting one thing and find another, they will leave quickly.
Your site looks good, but I would consider offering an incentive for people to request information - a complimentary ebook, a report that will answer some of their questions, a free analysis. This should be on your first page. I saw a 'contact us' tab, but did not see any incentive to click on it. This may help.
Consider a video message to engage people when they first come to your site. Video will engage and people are more likely to watch a video that to read copy. Again, lead with the problem and tell them what your solution is.
While all of these things will help with traffic, nothing will take the place of an actual conversation, where you can qualify your prospects and begin your sales process. So make sure you do follow up with people who request information.
Good luck and hope this was helpful.

Hello Fiona,

Thanks again!

it takes up to 6 months for your first sale when you do cold calling. there is a rule about sales. if you call 20 people, 10 might be interested, 5 may ask for more info, 2 or 3 will ask for a quote and 1 or 2 will actually place the order. if you have specific search words in your website, you will get allot of traffic, some might even show interest, but if your product isn't what they are looking for, they will move on. try to change a few thing around or add new images. keep it fun

Hello Joleen,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
I understand that the sales is a long-term process and one should have patience while executing it. But my main problem is that I used to get leads from my website, which has fallen to a great extent. What do you propose here?
Hello Randall,
Thanks for your valuable suggestions! We have got some content on how to hire developers. We will implement other things that you mentioned here.
Stay in touch!
Thanks again!
