CXL - Why asking people to sign up is wrong
I have 7 updates for you this week. 1. On my mind “What most marketing folks optimize B2B website copy for: ‘why sign up’.
That's wrong.
2 key reasons:
If you merely describe what your tool enables people to do: send email newsletters, track open rates, etc - you're making 2 mistakes
#1: you're positioning yourself as a commodity
‘Send beautiful newsletters’ --> any email tool does that ‘We do SEO’ --> so does everyone else
#2: when you're describing why I should use your basic capabilities, you're insulting my intelligence.
Here I am comparing 10+ experimentation tools, and you explain to me why it's good to run A/B tests.
So what to do instead: optimize your site for ‘why choose us’.
Unless you're an innovator, you're being compared to a number of players, especially category leaders.
If you're a CRM, you can be sure they're also looking at Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, etc.
So when you make a case for yourself, lead with your differentiated position or narrative. Highlight your specific advantages. Soft innovation and emotional points of difference can go much further in the world of endless features.”
