The ultimate goal of every marketer and salesperson is to convert a lead into a sale. Optimizing this process and thereby improving conversion rates are some of the most obvious ways to grow a company. However, consumers are constantly flooded with content. They could not possibly open every email or read every social media post that they receive.
