The document identifies 5 major problems with Cambridge Press LTD's website: 1) weak headlines that do not compel visitors, 2) text that focuses on the company rather than customer benefits, 3) irrelevant pictures that do not promote sales, 4) lack of clear calls to action, and 5) failure to collect contact information from visitors. It provides analysis of each problem area, examples of better practices, and recommendations for improvements like using stronger headlines that address customer needs, replacing non-sales focused images, making calls to action more prominent, and offering an incentive to provide contact details. The document aims to help Michael Govett understand how fixing these issues could increase sales by better engaging website visitors and converting more prospects into customers.

11. Why Calls to Action are
Important!!!
•
If you don’t ask your visitors to take action(e.g. giving you
a call) they are much less likely to do so.
•
Before you ask your visitors to take a certain action make
sure you communicate the benefits they receive from
taking that action.
•
Make sure you don’t ask for an action that is too big for the
situation. Ask for too much, too soon and the result
is a rejection. Ask for an action you can reasonably
expect your visitors to take and you move your prospect
forward closer to a sale.

14. Not Getting Contact
Information

If you don’t get your prospect’s contact info before
they leave your website, you have no way of

If you get your prospects email address, you can

and warm them up until they become customers.
•
You can get your visitors contact information by
offering something valuable in return, for example a
free report or free white paper.

Hi Robert, This is Adam. in this Executive Briefing I’ll be going over the 5 Biggest Problems I’ve identified on you Website and show you how it costing you in Lost in Business and Money.
Ok, why is website important? Well, in the past, your potential customers called in to ask questions, request more information and educate themselves before making a purchase.
Nowadays, they’re doing most of that research on your website, even before given
you a call. So that’s why it important that give your visitors the information they’re looking for on website and get them warmed up enough to contact you.
Your Website basically serves as your online salesman. Just like a live “human” salesman, it can have a huge impact on your bottom line. Your website can be the Rockstar salesman that helps you close tons of sales, or it can be a mediocre salesman that puts your customers to sleep, or worse, drives them away to your competitors.
Your potential customers are already visiting the websites of you competitors, if you website doesn’t do a good job of selling, they will probably buy from competitors instead.
Ok, here’s an overview of the 5 problems we’ll be going over in this briefing. Don’t worry if didn’t make sense to you right now, it will at the end of the presentation. So let’s jump right into.
