Make sites browsable with progressive disclosure

Clarity trumps persuasion. And yet us humans have a tendency to overcomplicate things. Ecommerce sites? Filled with text. Product descriptions? All about the brand owner and not the customer. These kinds of observations seem obvious or overly simplified from the outside looking in but brands constantly overlook them because they're so focused on generating more revenue only. Matthew Stafford, Managing Partner at Build Grow Scale, enlightens us to the problems he regularly sees when sites lose customers due to over-complication. Mindset has a lot to do with it. Are you invested in the solving the problem for your customer? Or are you focused on how great you look as a brand? Why are we asking all these questions in the show notes? Because questions bring clarity. They get people thinking. Grab a blanket and a cup of coffee, or don't, and get ready to better understand how to generate the right mindset that leads to greater results.
