Please please please…..do me a favor…answer your visitors most pressing questions up front.
My wife and I have recently been discussing cooking up different and healthier meals for ourselves. A friend of hers recommended we subscribe to eDiets.com for a good meal plan. So a few evenings ago my wife and I pull up to the computer and give the site a visit.

After about a minute of frustration clicking around the site we find the ‘Take A Tour’ button and watched the eDiets.com sales presentation.
“Sounds ok…how much does it cost?”
***Click**** ***Click**** ***Click****
“So how much does it cost?”
“It doesn’t say”
“Click the Free Analysis button”
After submitting 2 whole forms, we see what looks like a price
“$2.99 a week?”
“I think so…that’s cheap…it also says $1.99 here and here”
“What is all the fine print down there? I can’t read it, something about 38 bucks?”
“I dunno, I give up”
“Wanna watch that DVD we rented?
“Sounds good”
***goodbye click****
Sometimes you don’t have to ’sell me’ your product, I’m already sold. Sometimes all you need to do is make sure that when I first arrive at your site my questions get answered with minimal effort on my part and you get a conversion.
Are you answering your visitors most obvious question upfront, or are you forcing them buy the way you want them to?

Here’s a solution: http://www.mindoverplatter.com . I have no affiliation with this site other than to be a friend of the owner. She’s incredible. Visit the site and judge for yourself.
