Can you tell us why can’t marketers see live musicals? 

Because they keep trying to capture the leads.

And we can’t blame them.

Lead conversion rate is one of the most important metrics and databases that marketers should monitor and strive to improve. It is one of the most important concepts for improving sales pipeline flow. The higher the conversion rate, the more likely it is that your brand is executing an effective marketing strategy. 

Conversion rates can be dramatically increased by improving the quality of sales conversations and thus achieving a higher win rate. Ideally, it will result in increased revenue and profit. Revenue defines,

“Demo-to-Close Conversion Rate as the number of closed deals over a specific period divided by the total number of demos that generated those wins.”

When discussing an ideal demo conversion rate, the obvious answer is 100 per cent, right? You want as many people as possible to convert on your landing page.

Spoiler alert!

That is not what happens in the end. Let us be honest here, that is not entirely possible no matter how good of a B2B database you collate. 

What Affects The Conversion Rate? 

Each different type of Conversion in SaaS has its own set of benchmarks and best practices. If you want to increase the percentage of trial users, you should concentrate your marketing efforts. If you want to increase the trial conversion rate, you should invest in user experience and customer success.

There is a lot to consider here, and what appears to be a good rate for one type of company may not be a good rate for another. 

Your conversion rate is heavily influenced by the market you are targeting and sales optimization. For example, the benchmarks you set for B2B SaaS conversion rates will be different for e-commerce or another business model.

1. Business-to-Business 

If you sell to businesses and are into B2B marketing your sales cycle will be longer because businesses don’t just buy the software. Typically, the decision is made as a group. If your customer is in a high-risk industry, such as medicine or finance, you may need to persuade multiple people within the company before the purchase is made. 

Companies like these typically have lengthy sales funnels. You can expect a high conversion ratio if your product/market fit is good and you establish relationships with your customers.

2. Business-to-Consumer

Furthermore, if you are selling to consumers, your sales cycle will be short, but your conversion rate will be low. Again, it is market-dependent. 

The conversion rate will most likely be in the 2-3 per cent range for a new business or startup. This is a common conversion rate, so it’s become the norm, but it leaves about 98-97 per cent of potential leads on the table. 

Many people are satisfied with their numbers as long as they meet this metric, but there are ways to convert that leftover traffic into warm B2B leads.

According to Content grip, here are the conversion rates for SaaS companies in 2021, divided into seven industry subcategories:

• Data and infrastructure – 1.8%

• Business software – 2.0%

• Cybersecurity – 2.6%

• Analytics – 2.9%

• Ecommerce platforms – 3.3%

• Online media – 3.4%

• Apps and devices – 6.2%

Are you aiming for a specific market in your case? 

You don’t say anything. 

If you want to increase your conversion rate, you must first understand how the decision maker(s) buy products. You won’t know unless you identify your target market and research how they make purchases.

3 Simple Ways to Improve SaaS Conversions

1. Provide A Customized Experience

You don’t have to know each of your customers to provide a personalized experience. You simply need to make educated guesses based on user persona analysis.

Building your marketing strategy around very specific targets, such as using Google Search Ads for specific searches, is one way to interpret “personalisation.”

Leadzen.ai‘s geolocator tool is ideal for locating relevant, comprehensive, and verified B2B databases for a specific audience. All you have to do is use our site’s polygon tool to select the area of your target. 

With its advanced artificial intelligence, our tool will provide population size, demographics, average rentals, average salaries, and much more. All of this information can then be used to personalize the customer experience.

2. Be Easily Accessible 

Let us repeat: if your activation rate is low, something in the user journey bothered them and caused them to forget about you.

Reducing friction is important not only for increasing conversion rates but also for lowering churn and acquisition costs.

3. Reassess Your Product-Market Fit

Don’t worry, you won’t have to repeat the process of locating the right market and a perfect fit. This time, all you have to do is ensure that you reached your intended audience. Make sure that your products and sales optimization strategies align.

You should re-evaluate your product-market fit to see if you need to focus more on conversion rate optimization.

Takeaway – A Good Conversion Rate

For early-stage SaaS companies and startups, a conversion rate of 2-3% is considered acceptable and 5% is considered good. For more established businesses, the median conversion rate is 7%.

However, to progress with your product and begin making a profit, you must understand how to optimize user conversion. Identifying the reasons and increasing conversion rates necessitates these steps as well, no matter how large or frequent.

All you have to do is Understand your market and potential customers, Scale and expand following their requirements, assist them in finding you, and assist them in understanding your product. On the whole, keep them occupied.
