Prospects Are Knocking at Your Door—Now Who’s Answering? 7 Keys to Turn Interest into Commitment

Imagine your team implements a fantastic marketing campaign, and suddenly—success! The people you want are knocking on your door. But then comes the next big question: How will you answer?

I recently posed this question to a leadership team working on growing their customer base. My point was that it’s easy to get excited about bringing more people to your door, but we often overlook what happens once they’re there.

Picture This!

Use this simple image—someone standing at your door waiting—to reveal issues you need to address around strategy, staffing, and decision-making. From there, consider how well you’re set up (or not!) to guide potential customers to the right solution.

The real magic happens when you have a funnel in place to meet who is coming in and provide a clear path for them to follow, with someone knowledgeable and empowered to help them. How you answer the door sets the tone for the entire customer experience.

Do you have the customer journey in mind for what happens when prospective customers knock at your door?

Are those people empowered and resourced to make decisions and guide customers to the right solution?

Is your funnel designed to make the customer’s journey simple, intuitive, and rewarding?

7 Amare Keys to Turn Interest into Commitment

1. Design the journey. Map out the customer journey from the moment they “knock” on your door to the point where they become satisfied clients. Identify any bumps along the way and smooth them out.

2. Make a strong first impression. Ensure every touchpoint—your website, social media, and in-person interactions—creates a cohesive and welcoming experience that reflects your values.

3. Clarify customer options. Be explicit about the programs or services available, and create an easy way for customers to assess which option may be best for them.

4. Remove barriers to entry. Make it as easy as possible for people to take the next step—no unnecessary forms or hoops to jump through. Just a simple path that encourages action.

5. Empower your team. Ensure the people answering the door have the training and decision-making authority they need. Give them clear guidelines but also the power to be flexible and responsive.

6. Test your response system. Do a test run—knock on the door of your own business! How is the experience? Are your people ready and prepared, or do they need more tools?

7. Be ready to adapt. If your door-answering process isn’t working, be willing to change it. Take feedback from customers and employees alike to continually improve.
