5 Ways to Convey Urgency on Your Website

Urgency is a necessary component of a website that converts casual visitors into clients.

Why is urgency important?

Because if people coming to your site think that there's no hurry to hire you, then they probably won't. Remember, the people coming to your website are web surfers, and probably to a certain degree, procrastinators. They need a coach like you because they need to be prodded into action in their lives or their businesses.

Giving them urgency is your first opportunity to do some coaching before they even hire you. In fact, if you write it well, you are actually giving them their first assignment: hire me! There are a number of ways to convey urgency without coming across as an infomercial or a shopping channel host.

Here are a few things you can do today to generate some "do it now" emotion in the minds of your website visitors:

1. Have a discounted rate for a limited time

2. Say that you can only take X number of people right now, because your schedule is filling up (ethics warning: don't exceed your self-imposed client limit!)

3. Give away an ebook, audio or ecourse to the first X number of people, or give a time limit

4. Throw it back in their court by saying something to the effect of "the sooner you take action the sooner your situation will improve"

5. Offer a new coaching package at an introductory price or make it available only to the first X amount of people

Implement some urgency to your website and you should see some client growth.
