If you rely on search engine traffic, conversion optimization starts before visitors get to your site. Why? Sitelinks. For most sites, a brand query (e.g. “king arthur flour”) generates sitelinks—links from other pages on your site that appear below the main link, typically the homepage. For mobile searches, those sitelinks may be expandable, allowing users to browse multiple levels of your site, all before clicking a link.

I can already picture half the readers. Raising their eyebrows, perhaps rolling their eyes, thinking, “Well Dave, the answer is obvious…… ” The obvious answer is to address needs, perhaps to solve a problem.

By Jeff Shore. We are sales professionals, and therefore we very much love three letters: Y-E-S. Is there a sweeter sound than that of a hard-earned “yes” at end of a sales presentation? I think not. The converse, of course, is also true. The word “no” is like a dagger in the heart. The word falls upon us as if weighing two tons, and we are Wile E. Coyote under its crushing weight.

The research is very clear: more diverse sales teams do better. According to an article written by sociologist Cedric Herring and published in The American Sociological Review , companies with the highest levels of diversity brought in 10-15 times as much revenue as compared to companies with the lowest levels of diversity. Diverse companies tend to have greater revenues, market share, and customers.
