"Everyone Is In Sales" — But No One Told You What That Means Online
If you think you’re not in sales, you’re already losing conversions.
👋 Hey Reader,
When Daniel Pink said “We’re all in sales now,” he wasn’t talking about cold calls or sleazy pitches.
He meant this:
👉 Every time you try to get someone to take action — whether it's to click, subscribe, reply, or buy — you’re selling.
Even if you never say a word.
Now here’s the CRO twist 👇
🧠 Every Element on Your Website Is a Salesperson
Your homepage headline?
That’s your overworked, underpaid SDR trying to grab attention in 3 seconds.
Your navigation bar?
That’s your onboarding assistant, guiding the user to find what they want (or get lost trying).
Your CTA button?
That’s your closer. The one who needs to ask at just the right moment — and make it frictionless to say “yes.”
And your form?
That’s the poor soul asking for WAY too much information on a first date.
👉 In short, your website is your digital sales team.
But most brands?
They don’t train this team.
They don’t test what works.
They don’t even check if the team is closing.
That’s where CRO becomes your unfair advantage.
💡 Here's Your Takeaway:
Start looking at your site like a live sales floor.
Where are the bottlenecks?
Which 'salespeople' are losing the deal?
Are you guiding or confusing?
Is your page really persuading… or just presenting?
Because here’s the truth:
🛑 If you're not optimizing every experience to convert...
💸 You're bleeding money with every visit.
