The website is the primary conversion point for pipeline generation. At Lean Labs, we assess website performance by examining the last 10 closed deals: how many booked on the website, what they booked on, and what the conversion rate of those pages was compared to bounce or exit rate.
A website generates pipeline by providing both direct and indirect conversion paths. Direct paths include booking demos, requesting consultations, or getting quotes. Indirect paths include activation offers that deliver value before a sales connection—training, tools, or first steps that create a reason to book the demo.
At Lean Labs, we believe the website must build conviction that it's worth an hour of the visitor's time, and worth opening themselves up to possibly endless follow-up, to book a demo. The website achieves this by being relevant to visitor problems and goals, and speaking to how the company fits into the market compared to competitors. Without this, all digital marketing channels may generate traffic but fail to convert into pipeline because visitors don't see how the solution applies to them.
