Stage 5 of 12: Decision. How to Make Yes Easy

Decision is the point where the customer wants to move forward and looks for the easiest way to do it. This guide covers stage 5 of our 12-stage customer journey.

What your customer is thinking at the Decision stage

“I think I want this. What do I do next, and what will it cost?”

Your goal at this stage

Make the next step obvious and the path to yes short.

What to do

• Put one clear button on every key page, such as “Book a free call” or “Build your package”.
• State the full price, what it includes and any extra costs up front.
• Cut forms down to the fields you truly need.
• Reply to enquiries quickly, ideally within the hour during working hours.
• Offer a guarantee, a trial or a clear cancellation policy where you can.

Common mistakes

• Long forms and unclear next steps.
• Hidden fees that appear at the last moment.
• Slow replies that let warm leads go cold.

How to measure it

• Click-through rate on your main button.
• Form completion rate.
• Time to first reply.
• Quotes sent versus quotes accepted.

Conversion rate matters most at this point. Read our guide to CVR and how it works with click-through rate.
