I'm in the middle of helping to steer a significant digital transformation initiative at Winnebago Outdoors. We're upgrading the ERP system to a new platform consisting of Microsoft D365, Salesforce, and the Teamcenter systems.

The Release Train Engineer (RTE) role is collaborative, involving deep engagement with the Agile Release Train (ART), a composite of agile teams working in concert to achieve a shared objective. Here's a closer look at what an RTE does day to day:

✔️ Navigating Complexity: An RTE acts as the captain of the ship in turbulent digital waters, guiding the ART through planning, execution, and delivery. This involves facilitating Program Increment (PI) planning sessions, a critical event where the roadmap for the next phase is charted, risks are assessed, and strategies are devised.

✔️ Fostering Synergy: One of the greatest strengths of an RTE lies in its ability to foster collaboration among diverse teams and stakeholders. This role ensures alignment across various functions, encouraging transparency and communication. The RTE serves as a bridge between strategic goals and tactical execution, ensuring everyone moves in unison towards common objectives.

✔️ Driving Value Delivery: At the heart of SAFe is the relentless focus on delivering value to customers. An RTE ensures that every element of the ART contributes to this goal, optimizing flows, removing impediments, and managing risks. This consistent drive towards efficiency and effectiveness culminates in accelerated time-to-market and enhanced product quality.

The presence of an RTE within a transformation initiative brings several advantages. These include improved coordination across teams, enhanced clarity and focus on business objectives, streamlined processes, and a significant uplift in the morale and productivity of agile teams. Essentially, an RTE turns chaos into clarity, complexity into simplicity, and plans into action.

reThink-Solar

In 2007, a spark ignited my love for solar, fueling a drive toward a renewable future, one community at a time. Born from a desire to make solar energy accessible and affordable to all, we embarked on a quest to redefine the solar engagement. 

Starting with solar leasing in 2007, then residential sales, to commercial contracts, and now to Community Solar for all.

It's been an exhilarating ride, flavored with challenges, triumphs, and countless learning moments. Today, reThink Solar stands as a beacon for change, guiding individuals and businesses toward a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow. One that can be totally without costs or expense when you have the key ingredients.

reThink Solar's Mission

At the core of reThink Solar pulses a steadfast mission - to weave the benefits of solar energy into the fabric of everyday life. We dream of a world where everyone, regardless of whether they own or rent their home, can tap into the power of the sun.

Our mission is simple yet bold: connect our customers to local community solar farms, ensuring a minimum of 5% savings on their electric bills annually for up to two decades. Now, with our services extending across numerous states in the USA, that dream is becoming a reality. 

At reThink Solar, we believe that everyone should have access to clean and affordable energy, regardless of whether they own their home or business. That's why our community solar model is designed to connect with renters, homeowners, and small businesses alike.

The power of the sun is for everyone — because reThink Solar believes that change, like sunlight and all renewable energy, should be universal and unbound. There's no simpler path to saving on your electric bill while championing renewable energy.

The Ground Beneath Leadership Is Shifting

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to lead through uncertainty without a map, welcome. This is where we draw the new ones. AI isn’t knocking politely at the door. It’s rewiring how teams operate, how decisions get made, and how value is created.

Old playbooks don’t bend. They break. And the burden of clarity? It’s falling squarely on you.

If you’re the one responsible for making sense of chaos for integrating new tech, managing team emotions, aligning systems, and staying strategic without burning out, then AILKEMY was built with you in mind.

You’re not a passive observer of change. You’re the one others look to when everything changes. 

AILKEMY exists to help you build that kind of organization. We don’t hype tools. We train humans to lead through disruption.

Why Read AILKEMY? 

AI won’t replace you. But teams who master human–AI collaboration will. This isn’t about man versus machine. It’s about hybrid orchestration, the art of blending automation with empathy, speed with systems thinking, and clarity with courage.

Who Reads AILKEMY? 

AILKEMY is written for the most accountable people in the room—those who don’t have the luxury of waiting for certainty. Whether you lead others, build products, run a team, or want to stay relevant, it helps you lead with clarity, not chaos.

Why I Publish AILKEMY?

I’m Daniel Stouffer. I’m an author of dozens of nonfiction books, a systems thinker, a firefighter, and a futurist. I’ve helped leaders navigate disruption for two decades, not from a theory lab, but from the front lines of change: in startups, classrooms, fire stations, and boardrooms.

I write AILKEMY because I’ve lived the pressure of needing answers when the playbook no longer works. I know what it feels like to be the one people look to in moments of uncertainty. 

This newsletter, and the “Insights-as-a-Service (AIS) we’re launching, is my way of offering a lifeline of clarity, one issue at a time.

The Real Story Behind Amazon’s Massive Job Cuts

Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy didn’t hide the reason. He told employees that “AI adoption and improved productivity” would lead to job reductions. Translation: AI agents are doing work humans used to do — faster, cheaper, and without vacation days.

How Amazon’s 30,000 Layoffs Signal the End of Traditional Corporate Work

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗜? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗨𝗽 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

AI isn’t a “𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱” anymore. 

It’s already shaping how teams make 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀, 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀, and 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲. 

The leaders who understand this aren’t waiting for perfect timing; they’re adapting now.

And here’s the quiet tension most leaders feel but rarely say out loud:

What if the biggest threat to your organization isn’t AI… but staying locked into the same leadership style you used before it arrived?

That’s where 𝗔𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 steps in. Not as another loud, overhyped tech book, but as a simple, clear guide to help you lead with confidence in a world that’s moving faster every day. 

It’s built for leaders who want to stay 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀, and 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 through change without fear or confusion.

We rarely talk about this on LinkedIn… but many top performers are driven not by passion, but by old survival instincts. 

You learn to excel because slowing down once felt unsafe. 

You smile because showing struggle wasn’t an option. 

You lead because being strong was the only role you ever knew.

And on the outside? You look unstoppable. On the inside? You’re exhausted from carrying a past your mind has outgrown… but your nervous system hasn’t.

This is where 𝗘𝗠𝗗𝗥 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 becomes life-changing. It doesn’t force you to relive trauma, it helps your brain finally process it. The panic quiets. The perfectionism softens. Rest stops feel dangerous.

If you’ve ever wondered, “𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?”, the answer might not be mindset. It might be memory.

Real growth isn’t performing strength. It’s finally feeling safe enough to stop pretending.

You’ve walked through fire.

You’ve sat in therapy with a trembling voice.

You’ve journaled the memories you once tried to outrun.

You’ve meditated long enough to meet both the storm and the silence inside you.

So why does doubt still whisper, “𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲?”

𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

That slow unraveling that doesn’t look dramatic from the outside but feels like your mind is picking a lock from within.

𝗡𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀. 𝗡𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. 

Just a familiar pull toward the old escape route.

But what if the problem isn’t that you’re weak…what if your toolkit was simply never designed for the life you’re living now?

That question sits at the heart of 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, the newest playbook in the Beyond Survival series, built not for the broken, but for the brilliantly functioning humans who are still carrying survival wiring.

And for a while, we did.

Until the quiet moments started to feel unbearable.

You know the feeling, that anxious buzz beneath your skin, even when everything looks fine. You meet deadlines, remember the snacks, send the emails, show up with a smile… and still collapse at night, wondering why peace feels like something you’ll “earn” later.

It’s not you.

Prospects who ghosted.

We label these things as failures. 
We move on. 
We rebuild the pipeline from scratch. 
And we burn more money in the process.

Ever wondered why remote work feels 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 and 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 at the same time?

Why is your team technically “𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲” yet somehow always behind?

Another 3 a.m. zinger - Am I alone?

Let me name the first terror clearly. No one can live inside the full movement of your mind. Your thoughts, memories, and sensations are yours. Even the people who love you most cannot climb inside and steer. That privacy is real.

It's all good news once we learn how to hold it without fear.

Aloneness is not a defect. 

It is the space that lets just ‘being’ be truly meaningful...

Don’t even THINK about A/B testing your website without reading this first.

A/B testing can give you as high as [%] conversion rate.

BUT jumping in without a plan can be a recipe for wasted time and unnecessary costs.\\

Before you start tweaking headlines and button colors–or even changing the entire website:

This is what I found most of eCom websites are doing till this day...

❌ Testing the wrong elements.
❌ No clear goal– you won’t know if your test are actually working.
❌ Don’t have enough data to be sure your results aren’t just a coincidence.

After helping hundreds of brands capture millions in revenue.

Here’s what we learned:

→ Figure out what "winning" means for your brand.
→ Get to know your audience.
→ Base test ideas on solid site data, not just best practices
→ Start with small focused tests and scale up the clear winners.
→ Track result daily & filter how different audience segments respond

See the difference?

A/B testing can be a powerful tool, but only if you use it STRATEGICALLY.

If you want a CRO that WORKS, you need an agency that gets it.

Talks about #mediabuying, #dtcstrategies, #funneloptimization, #customeracquisition, and #conversionrateoptimization

6 things to change in your eCom websites:

• Replace confusing menus with clear categories 
• Replace features with benefits
• Replace boring hero image into product in action shot
• Replace big claims with customer testimonials 
• Replace boring product description with pain-solution stories
• Replace limited payment option with well-known credit/debit cards, digital wallets

Incorporate them as much as you can.

Watch your conversion rate skyrocket.

[CRO controversy #1] 

Does urgency truly drive sales or scare customers away? 
Pick your side.

A) Team "Limited Time Offer".
B) Team "Transparency All the Way".

Share your answers below. 👇 
(the *correct* answer might surprise you...)

10 power players that have the highest ROI for your eCom business:
(from my experience)

1. Targeted traffic
2. Fast loading website
3. Social proof & reviews
4. Clear value proposition
5. Seamless user experience
6. Stunning product images
7. Strategic use of promotions
8. Responsive customer support
9. Retargeting website visitors who haven't converted.
10. Constantly optimizing (growth mindset)

These power players are what I call your success multipliers.

Each one enhances your chances of success.

But when combined, they create an unstoppable force that cuts through the saturated market.

Statistically speaking, you're messing up.🫨

Running a test for two days with 10 visitors won't tell you anything real.

It’s like flipping a coin once - pure chance, not a winning strategy.
You need enough data to be sure your results aren't just a *coincidence*.

Here's why small tests can leave you frustrated and out of pocket:

😵 Fake wins due to small sample size
😵 Missed opportunities due to limited data

Here’s what you can do:

✅ Get enough real people visiting your site to make sure your results are legit. 

So, how many visitors do you ACTUALLY need?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer.

But it heavily depends on your website traffic and the size of the change you expect. 

The good news?

I'm helping ecom brand owners crush their conversion rates with data-driven strategies.

This is what happened to your sales once you started using CRO.
➜ Sales increase of up to 15%
➜ Capture quality leads and convert them into customers
➜ Faster checkout speeds
➜ Happier customers

How?

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) help you:
1) Decrease the bounce rate of website visitors by 20%-50%. ⬇️
CRO makes that a reality.

✅ Clear calls to action
✅ A smooth user experience
✅ Targeted messaging
We turn those visitors into paying customers. 
Leading to a sales increase of up to 15%.

2) Attract the right kind of customers.
The truth is, NOT all leads are created equal. 
You wouldn't want your sales team spending time chasing after someone who's just browsing, right? 
CRO helps you attract those genuinely interested in what you offer.
Saving you time and resources.
Remember:
❌ You don’t create desire.
✅ You leverage on the existing desires of your customer.
Qualified leads = more receptive to your offerings = high conversion rate

3) Decrease cart abandonment by 20%. ⬇️
Friction in the checkout process is a sales killer. 
CRO helps you streamline (make it smooth and speedy) your customer’s buying journey. 
How?
With: 
✅ Easy-to-understand forms
✅ Multiple payment options
A clear path to purchase = Gets your customers to the finish line (aka purchase!) faster.
You don’t want your impatient customers to wait around for a clunky checkout process, right?

Stop second guessing what works or not.

5 things you should already know about 6 months in your eCom business.

Here are 5 things you should have a decent handle on by the 6-month mark:

1. Your ideal customer.

Important metrics like:

• Website traffic
• Conversion rate
• Customer acquisition cost (that's how much it costs to get a new customer)
• Customer lifetime value (how much money a customer spends with you over time) 

… should no longer sound like gibberish. 

Track these regularly and use them to see how you're doing and where you can improve.

4. Competitive landscape. 

6 months in, you should have a good idea of your competitors in the market. 

> What are they good at?

Knowing your competition helps you develop a killer strategy to win over customers.

Website Secrets

After auditing over 647 websites, I've learned something that most eCom owners simply DON’T understand about conversion. 😤

“Conversion isn't just about getting visitors to your website.”

Don't get me wrong, website traffic is also important. 

But here's the key: Conversion is about guiding visitors on a journey. 

It's about understanding:

→ their needs
→ addressing their pain points
→ making them feel like YOUR website is the answer they've been searching for.

Here's what I mean:

• People don't convert in a vacuum. 

They need to be:

✅ nurtured
✅ educated
✅ compelled to take action

❌ Just throwing up a pretty website and hoping for the best won't cut it.

• Compelling websites tell stories. 

They connect with visitors on an emotional level and build trust. 

✅ They don't just sell products, they solve problems.

• It's all about removing friction. 

❌ Confusing layouts
❌ Unclear calls to action
❌ Generic copy 

... are conversion killers. 

A good website should be smooth sailing.

Guiding visitors effortlessly towards a *clear* conversion goal.

What does this mean for you?

If your website feels like a dry cactus (low leads, low sales). 🌵

It's probably time to rethink your conversion strategy. 

Last year, Q3 was a mad scramble for eCom brands trying to fix their sites at the last minute.

 (...and unfortunately, we had to put them on our waiting list) 

The difference-makers?

The brands who started tuning up their conversion rates (CRO for short) early on.

These folks saw the biggest wins because their sites were conversion machines by the time the busy season hit.

Don’t repeat last year’s mistakes. 

Start your CRO journey now and position yourself for a successful year-end.

You won’t BELIEVE this life-changing secret about conversion that’s saving my clients from YEARS of unnecessary ad spend and frustration.

In just a few moments, I’m going to reveal what it is. 

But first, here’s why you should trust what I have to say...

For the past 2 years, I've been helping eCom businesses like yours achieve explosive growth through conversion rate optimization. 

I've seen it all, from the biggest mistakes to the most successful strategies. 

And let me tell you, this secret is one of the most powerful tools I've ever discovered.

8 out of 10 eCom businesses think conversion is just about getting people to your site. 

They spend a fortune driving traffic.

… but the *sad* reality is, those visitors just wander around and leave.

❌ Never converting into paying customers.

Here’s how we make *magic* happen:

✅ Guiding them on a strategically crafted user journey. 
✅ Uses a psychological framework to understand their needs, address their pain points, and build trust at every touchpoint. 
✅ Use data and A/B testing to optimize every element, from headlines and calls to action to the overall website layout. 

It's about making them feel like YOUR website is the answer to all their problems.

When you unlock this conversion secret, you'll see a dramatic increase in sales. 

My clients are reporting increases of 20% to 50% (and sometimes even more!). 

Imagine what that could do for your bottom line.

If you're tired of watching your money disappear into the abyss of unconverted traffic, then it's time to get a CRO audit.

Schedule your free consultation 👇

You hit the launch button. ✔️ 
Getting ready to see the sales roll in... nothing but *crickets* 😵

The culprit? Leaks in your conversion funnel.

Imagine your website as a funnel. 

You pour potential customers (traffic) in at the top.

BUT they're dripping out through holes before they reach the desired outcome.

The sweet kaching of a purchase.

Leaks in your conversion funnel are what's stopping those visitors from becoming customers.

Here's the secret to plugging those leaks: 👇

The secret isn't just about fancy website design (although that doesn't hurt). 

→ The real secret lies in understanding your customers and building trust. 

→ It's about removing anything that makes buying from you a hassle. 

Here's how we did it:

1. Become a customer whisperer.

Dive deep and understand your ideal customers:

✅ needs, wants, and pain points. 
✅ speak their language
✅ address their concerns directly
✅ position yourself as the solution they've been searching for.

2. Build trust. 

Nobody buys from someone they don't trust. 

Showcase in your website these CRO elements:

✅ positive customer testimonials
✅ highlight your expertise
✅ offer clear guarantees. 

Make them feel confident in their decision to choose you. 

3. Friction? we don't know her.

Streamline your buying process. 

Help your visitors easily find:

✅ the information they need
✅ complete forms with minimal effort
✅ navigate your site intuitively

Confusing layouts and unclear calls to action are conversion killers – MUST eliminate them.

I doubled my client’s sales by studying ecom stores in just 6 months.
Here's what I learned:
I optimized over 647 websites, and let me tell you.
Getting conversions can be tough.
But by understanding what works well in successful ecom stores.
I was able to implement CRO strategies that drove 100% increase in sales for my client.

Here are 3 CRO strategies we used:
1) People want to find what they need fast.
So we implemented:
➜ clear menus
➜ high-quality product photos showcasing details
➜ concise descriptions that focused on benefits. 
To make my client's website a breeze to navigate.
Visitors instantly understand their value proposition in just 5 seconds of landing.

2) They used powerful calls to action.
➜ Strong CTAs like "Add to Cart" were strategically placed near product details.
Making it easier for visitors to find and take the next step.

3) Successful stores rely on A/B testing to constantly improve.
➜ We test different headlines, product layouts, and CTA placements.
Based on the areas that need improvement and immediate attention.
We follow key metrics before making small or big changes.
✅ Conversion funnel metrics like bounce rate, click-through rate (CTR), and cart abandonment rate.
✅ User engagement metrics like time spent on page, scroll depth, and heatmaps.
This data-driven approach allowed us to identify the most effective elements that drove the most conversions.

Every component you need to create an ecom landing page that generates $100k+.

- Captivating headline
- Announcement bar
- Subheadline
- Compelling hero image or video
- Social proof (testimonials/reviews):
- Pricing
- Scarcity & urgency
- Trust badges
- Security badges
- Product guarantees
- FAQ
- Footer
- Exit-intent popups (with caution) 
- Clear & compelling CTA
- A/B testing (as part of overall strategy)

Remember:

Your goal is to create a clear, concise, and persuasive landing page that focuses on your customer’s needs and conversion.

Don't overload the page with too many elements that might overwhelm or distract visitors.

Your landing page needs BOTH. 

➜ Traffic (Ad) 
➜ An optimized landing page 

= Conversion GOAL

In the world of e-commerce, conversions are king. 

But what drives those conversions? 

Many believe it's just about traffic.

The more visitors you have, the more sales you make. 

However, the reality is far more complex than that. 

Imagine this:

You're running a targeted ad campaign.

Driving high volumes of visitors to your landing page (lots of traffic!). 

However, if those visitors land on a confusing or poorly designed landing page...

They'll likely bounce and never convert.

That’s why, I always say this:

Both traffic and landing pages matter for conversions.

➜ High-quality traffic (targeted ads): Gets the RIGHT people to your site.

➜ Optimized landing page (CRO): Converts visitors into customers.

Think of it as a mathematical equation:

High-Quality Traffic (Targeted Ads) x Optimized Landing Page = Increased Conversions

DON’T neglect either side.

Remember: It's not about just traffic, and it's not about just a good landing page. 

It's about both working together to achieve your conversion goals.

Don’t just talk to your best customers.
Talk to the ones that almost got away too.
Studies show almost-lost customers convert at a *higher rate* than average customers. 
How? 
Simple.
Because they have addressed these customer concerns head-on...
hidden fees
confusing checkout process 
slow loading times
technical glitches
unclear product info
—these are all *solvable* problems.
➜ With a little CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) magic.
➜ Understanding the psychology behind almost-lost shoppers.
You can capture the hearts and wallets of recovered customers any day you want.
(big brands like Amazon do this too 🤫) 
Follow these 3 psychology-driven CRO tips (and how to implement this in your website):
1) Exit-intent offers. 
Entice your potential customers back with discounts or free shipping when they show signs of leaving.
✅ Add a pop-up window that triggers when a user moves their cursor towards the top of the page (indicating they might leave).
2) Retargeting campaigns.
Remind them of abandoned items or similar products with targeted ads.
✅ Partner with ad platforms like Facebook or Google to run retargeting campaigns. 
Your ad campaigns must show the ads featuring the items that they abandoned.
3) Personalized recommendations.
Suggest products that complement their browsing history.
✅ Use website analytics tools to track user behavior and browsing history. 
Based on this data. 
You can recommend complementary products on the product page itself.

By incorporating these psychology-driven CRO tips.
You can now do 4 things at once:
➜ Address customer concerns
➜ Recover lost sales.
➜ Turn "almost-lost" shoppers into repeat customers.
➜ Transform your ecom business into a thriving one
So, the next time a shopper abandons their cart.
Don't despair. 🙅
Consider it an opportunity to create a new customer. 😉

Grabbing your customer's attention is a race against the clock.
The million-dollar question is: how do you grab someone's attention online in 5 seconds or less?
Here’s how to grab *eyeballs* into your website in just 4 seconds.
My proven above-the-fold CRO strategy:
1️⃣ Headline Hero:
➜ Focus on the benefits. 
➜ Craft a clear and concise headline that speaks directly to your target audience's needs and desires. 
➜ What problem do you solve? 
➜ What value do you offer?
➜ Keep it punchy.
➜ Aim for 6-10 words and avoid jargon. 
➜ Use strong verbs and action words to grab attention.

2️⃣ Visual appeal.
➜ People process visuals faster than text, so make a good first impression.
➜ Use professional or captivating images that are relevant to your offer.
➜ Keep it simple. 
➜ Avoid cluttered graphics or overwhelming layouts.
➜ Pro tip: Test different images to see what resonates best with your audience.

3️⃣ Get to the point.

➜ Prioritize a clear value proposition.
➜ Explain what you do and why it matters in a concise and compelling way. 
➜ Focus on the benefits for the visitor, not just your features.
➜ Bullet Points are your new friend.
➜ Use bullet points to highlight key benefits and make the information easy to digest.

4️⃣ Call to action (CTA).
➜ Don't leave visitors wondering what to do next. 
➜ Include a clear and strong call to action button.
➜ Use action verbs like "Add to cart," or "Shop More" to encourage action.
➜ Make it stand out from the crowd.
➜ Use contrasting colors and clear text to make your CTA button visually appealing.

Funny story - I almost didn't buy my coffee maker because the website didn't show if it was in stock. 
Paranoid? Maybe. 
Normal? Absolutely.
Turns out, we all have trust issues when shopping online.
So I tested something stupid-simple.
Adding this near the buy button: 
"✔ In Stock ✔ Ships Today ✔ 60-Day Returns"
The results? 
Before: 2.3% conversion rate 
After: 3.8% conversion rate 
Extra cash: $103,472 in 30 days
Why does this actually work?
You know that feeling when you're watching Netflix and see "3 episodes left"? 
You felt like you HAVE to finish it.
Same psychology here. 

These tiny checkmarks tell your brain "you're almost there!"

After testing this on countless stores, here's the magic combo:
1. Stock status 
❌ "Available" (meh) 
✅ "In Stock" (good) 
✅ "Only 3 Left" (better)

2. Shipping 
❌ "Fast Shipping" (what does that even mean?) 
✅ "Ships Today" (specific = trustworthy) 
✅ "Next Day Delivery" (even better)

3. Returns 
❌ "Easy Returns" (everyone says this) 
✅ "60-Day Returns" (specific number = more trust) 
✅ "Love It Or Return It" (personality bonus!)

@Article excels at this!

graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message

Stop making customers think.
Copy-paste these 3 check marks that doubled my client’s revenue:
For Physical Products: 
"✔ In Stock ✔ Ships in 24h ✔ Free Returns"
(9+41% conversion)

For Digital Products: 
"✔ Instant Access ✔ Lifetime Updates ✔ Money-Back Guarantee"
(+37% conversion)

For Services: 
"✔ Next Slot Today ✔ Satisfaction Guaranteed ✔ Cancel Anytime"
(+33% conversion)

Then. place them near your buy button. 
No fancy strategies. 
No complex psychology. 
Just simple trust signals that’s proven to work.
Even big brands like @InsideWeather do this.

I was wrong about CRO.
Spent $50K optimizing checkouts. 
Should've fixed this instead 😔
Most visitors die on product pages—not at checkout.

Here's why:
→ This is where customers actually make buying decisions
→ Most ad and search traffic lands here first
→ The biggest drop-offs happen here (not checkout!)

3 quick, tested fixes that work:

Add real customer photos below (27% conversion lift)
Show shipping time BEFORE they click "Add to Cart" (19% fewer cart abandonments)

Include size comparison visuals (44% fewer returns)
Sometimes, the best optimizations are simple (and free)

Save this before I delete it. 👆

“Make it sound professional”, the client said.
I disagreed.
After countless A/B tests, I've learned that “professional” often just means “complicated”.
Your customers don’t buy because they’re impressed by your *big words or fancy jargon*. 
They buy because they understand.

Here's my CRO motto:
If you can say it simpler, do it
If you can prove it, show it
If you can count it, share it
I test copy for a living—and I can tell you, these approaches convert *much, much* better.

Why? 

A 6th-grade reading level outperforms MBA-speak by 2.5x. 
At the end of the day, your customers don’t want complexity. 
They want clarity.

The goal of your website isn’t to impress.
It’s to connect. 🤝

Give customers the information they need (without the fluff).
And your CVR rate will (increase and) follow. 📈
