The growth of online sales has only been accelerated by COVID-19. Nearly 85% of Canadian consumers now buy on the Internet, and almost 60% of B2B buying decisions take place online before a salesperson is contacted.
With so many players vying for people’s limited attention and budgets, optimizing your customers’ web experience should be a top priority. Are you confident that your website is effective at acquiring new customers? Is it doing everything required to generate leads and turn visitors into clients?
In our free live webinar, BDC Advisory Services experts will present a step-by-step approach for optimizing your website to attract and convert customers. They will be joined by BDC Chief Economist Pierre Cléroux, who will also present data on the top problems faced by entrepreneurs in e-commerce and on the web.
Bonus! Canadian entrepreneurs and company leaders who attend will also be invited to our exclusive “Ask the Expert” Virtual Roundtable, led by a BDC expert who will answer all your specific questions in a small group setting. Together with other business leaders, take a deep dive into the world of online sales and customer experience optimization. Let our experts help you succeed.
