The Leadpages Conversion Marketing Certified Directory Is Here—and New Consultants Are Already Reaping Results

A Powerful Approach to Conversion Marketing Training

The Leadpages Conversion Marketing Certification program is different from anything else on several important levels. It’s comprehensive, cohesive, and built with a conversion-now mentality.

It’s Comprehensive (But Not Overwhelming)

Some digital-marketing training programs focus on building traffic, while others stress lead generation, sales, or building customer loyalty. And they do a good job of it. This is an entirely different training program. Instead of focusing on one stage or topic, the Leadpages Conversion Marketing Certification program is all about generating more conversions across the entire conversion marketing lifecycle.

The four stages of the conversion marketing lifecycle[/caption] Our mantra for this is “just-in-time conversion marketing.” Deliver the right quantity and quality of conversion marketing education to help our students put effective strategies and methodologies into practice right when they need them … without trying to boil the online marketing ocean and drowning in the process! We know this approach works, because marketers are telling us so. Most times, we hear about students achieving real breakthroughs and success even before they’ve completed the course and passed the certification exam. David Resnick found that the first class alone totally upended what he thought he knew about his business model:

”I have been trying to succeed at online sales for years. No matter what I have done, it was impossible to get website visitors to become leads. After your first class I decided I was not making an appealing offer and for kicks I decided to start a new website for my wife using all of what I had learned and it is hugely successful!” – David Resnick

And Colin Scotland was surprised by just how challenging it was (no super-obvious “best practices” here):

“Conversion Marketing Certification is an outstanding program. It is rigorous, comprehensive, and it will stretch you much more than you think. The strategies and skills you will learn are absolutely essential for any business. Whether you are a marketer looking to help your clients or want to implement the techniques in your own business, don’t hesitate. This stuff works.” - Colin Scotland

Make no mistake. It’s a challenging and rigorous program. (As most of our students will attest!) But none of their effort is ever wasted. Our students have found that by combining the right amount of know-how with effective action, good things happen quickly! [cta-box]

It’s Cohesive, End to End

The problem with courses on specific topics like search marketing, social media, or blogging is that they’re usually not well-integrated with the whole of what you need to know and do to generate results. I can’t count the number of digital marketers and consultants I’ve talked to who jump on just about every new course that comes their way. (In fact, I know because I’ve been there myself.) And the sad thing about it? They don’t even finish the one they’re on before they start another! They jump from training to course to program to information product to webinar … but there’s nothing to connect everything they’re learning into a unified whole. Sure, they may have a piece or two to the puzzle, but the one common ingredient they lack is end-to-end cohesiveness: tying all the pieces together in a reliable framework (built on sound conversion principles) that can move more customers through not just one or two, but all four stages of the conversion marketing lifecycle. But again, don’t take my word for it. Hear what our Conversion marketing certification course students have to say:

“The certification program from Leadpages is superb! Two classes into it and I was already rethinking and retooling things that I had in place on my website. The best part of the program is that it gave me a reliable framework I can use to further promote my business and help my clients be successful.” – Carlos Aguilar

“We are LOVING this certification program. It is well thought out, well laid out, very professional, and—even better for us—puts the thousands of jigsaw puzzle pieces together for us - finally!” – Elizabeth Harrington

It Has a Conversion-Now Mentality

Too many conversion opportunities are wasted through a lack of knowledge, timely execution, or both. Whether because of poorly crafted calls-to-action, lackluster copy, or too few opt-ins marketers often fail to realize every moment can, and should, be a conversion opportunity. As our CEO, Clay Collins, often reminds us, “It’s not an optimization problem we need to solve, it’s a conversion enablement opportunity we must embrace.” After processing billions of data points and millions of monthly conversions for our 40,000+ customers, we know what works—and we’re passing that knowledge on to our students. It’s not about the tools or technologies you use, either. A conversion-now mentality will help you better operate whatever tools and technologies you use to drive higher conversion rates. It’s a mentality that starts with knowing who you are, who your ideal clients are, and how best to engage them. It continues with making customers not just the heroes of their journey, but loyal advocates and promoters of your brand. And again, conversion marketing students who’ve applied this conversion-now thinking are reaping rapid and significant results from it. Take Joselyn Quintero, who’s used her training to put the tools she already loves into a broader context:

“I have been a Leadpages user for the last 2 years and always considered it my 'Digital Ferrari:' fast to set up, easy to use, and with gorgeous designs. After completing the Conversion Certification training, I feel like a F1 pilot, finally understanding all the marketing lifecycle and understanding where to focus on each step and what to measure for better results.” - Joselyn Quintero

Meanwhile, Sean Mathesis combined two tactics and saw a remarkable growth in revenue, remarkably fast:

“I launched a new subscription model program on May 1 using Leadpages and retargeting strategies. In 60 days I am up to $26,000 in recurring monthly payments. Boom!” - Sean Mathesis
