Next in our Conversion Conference speaker Q&A sessions is Mike Volpe, Chief Marketing Officer, HubSpot, Hubspot who’s vision is to provide a (killer) marketing application and provide great advice to small businesses enabling them to leverage these disruptive effects of the internet to “get found” by more prospects shopping in their niche and to convert a higher percentage of prospects into customers.
I think that using social media to turn one conversion into more conversions by stimulating more sharing of your offers is pretty hot. We’ve had some great success doing that, you can use your existing leads to generate more leads for free.
Focusing on the little things. Everyone is about A/B testing and multivariate testing small details like buttons or colors, but at the same time ignoring if they could create entirely new ways to convert leads with entirely new offers. Sometimes the biggest leverage comes not from a tweak that gets you a 20% bump in conversion, but inventing a new marketing and sales process that is 300% better.
I heard Lady Gaga is coming? No? Oh, well then I guess it has to be Steve Krug. There are like 100 copies of Don’t Make Me Think around our office, I’m psyched to meet him.
I’m a dad now, and so I get out a lot less than I used to and my NYC knowledge is way out of date. So I’ll go old school Gordon Gekko style and say you can never go wrong at the 21 Club. Try the steak tartare – it’s off the menu, but Louis will make it for you.
