I found the best Marketing Strategy to Get more Customers. (Haven’t seen this covered anywhere...)

Honestly.. probably the best post I made yet!

I stumbled across a strategy recently that blew my mind — not because it’s new, but because it’s so good and yet so often used in SaaS applications or even service based companies!

And I found can easily double your conversions if done right.

It’s called a guided on-boarding funnel — also known as a value-first paywall.

You’ve definitely seen this in action if you’ve used any popular mobile app.

It’s a step-by-step flow where an app or website walks you through a few quick questions, shows you what’s possible based on your inputs, and presents you with a paywall or offer — after they’ve proven the value.

Focus on growth. We’ll handle the website.

🔍 What It Looks Like in Practice

Let’s say you're a visitor landing on a SaaS site.

Instead of hitting a pricing page right away, you're invited to take a 30-second assessment.

This can take place when the user hits the register button, or as a pop up card on your website, inviting them to take part.

Here is an example workflow with questions -

Step 1:
"How many monthly visitors does your site get?"
➡️ You answer: 1,000.

Show a response based on the answer like..
"With that traffic level, we typically help sites increase conversions by up to 15%.

Step 2:
"What type of visitors do you attract?"
➡️ You answer: Business owners.

The tool replies:
"Nice — for B2B audiences, our optimization flow has shown 27–34% lift in demo bookings across hundreds of sites like yours."

You’re seeing real potential. You’re hooked.

Step 3:

Show more testimonials
"Our average client sees results in under 30 days. Here's what that could mean for you based on your numbers..."

You could add a calculation tool based on the customers monthly visitors, average cart value and conversion rate to help persuade them even more.

👉 And then the tool makes an offer.

Step 4:

Make an Offer

At this point they are more likely to purchase from you. But, if they are still on the fence. Give them a guarantee like this one…

“If you don’t see an improvement in your conversion rate within 30 days — you don’t pay.”

💡 Why It Works

This method combines several conversion-driving principles:

  • Personalization: Each step makes the offer feel tailored to the user.

  • Micro-commitments: Answering a few quick questions builds momentum and buy-in.

  • Proof of value: The user gets stats and real-world outcomes before they’re asked to pay.

  • Expectation setting: Users now have a sense of what success looks like — and when to expect it.

It’s not just a sales tactic. It’s education, value-building, and lead qualification wrapped into one experience.

Websites like this don’t just sell their product — they guide users to realize why they need it.

If you’re trying to boost conversions and your current site just throws features at visitors… it might be time to build a smarter path.
