The original question from listed special offers, sales training, upselling and cross-selling; suggested trying everything and favoured discounts. A more reliable approach is to diagnose where the funnel leaks, then run prioritized experiments so effort lands where it actually moves revenue (not just raw conversion rate).

  1. Define the primary conversion metric and the business KPIs to protect (AOV, margin, LTV). Use analytics goals so you avoid “happy but unprofitable” wins ().
  2. Map the funnel and segment by channel and cohort to find the largest drop-offs; qualitative tools (session recordings, surveys) help explain why people quit at a step—checkout friction is a common, high-impact area (Baymard on abandonment).
  3. Turn friction points into testable hypotheses and prioritize with a framework like PIE or ICE so scarce resources go to the highest-impact ideas (CXL on prioritization).
  4. Run controlled experiments (A/B) and measure both conversion lift and business impact (revenue, margin, repeat rate); track significance and guard metrics (Optimizely on A/B testing).
  5. Pair online wins with targeted sales coaching: codify successful scripts, role-play common objections, and measure close-rate improvements.
  6. Roll out winners gradually and keep monitoring. Be cautious with blanket discounts—prefer targeted, time-limited offers tracked by coupon/channel so you can measure real ROI.
