You’d never send a salesperson out without training. But many businesses launch websites that are pretty, yet don’t know how to sell. Your website should do more than exist—it should persuade, guide, and close. Here’s how to train it to do just that.
Step 1: Teach It to Listen
A good salesperson doesn’t just talk—they listen. Your site should:
Reflect real user questions
Address objections early
Guide users toward clarity
Use copy pulled from customer research, reviews, and FAQs.
Step 2: Focus the Pitch
Don’t overwhelm users with everything you offer. Focus your homepage and key pages like a tight sales pitch:
Clear problem → Solution → Outcome
One core action per page
Visual and written cues to support the message
Step 3: Build Trust Like a Human
No one buys from a stranger. Use:
Testimonials and case studies
Real faces and stories
Transparent pricing and process
This humanizes your brand and builds comfort—just like a great rep would.
Step 4: Make the Close Easy
Imagine a salesperson who forgets to ask for the sale. Many websites do this by hiding or overcomplicating their CTAs. Instead:
Make actions clear and simple
Reduce clicks to convert
Use smart CTAs like “See How It Works” or “Get a Free Demo”
Final Thought:
Your website can be your best closer—but only if you train it with strategy. Treat it like your top employee, and it will deliver like one.
