    Your checkout on a phone

    Hi {{first_name}}, I went through the {{company}} checkout on my phone yesterday. The shipping cost only appeared at the last step, and that's the moment many shoppers leave. I help online stores with exactly this kind of thing. Would a short list of two or three similar fixes be useful? {{sender_first_name}}

{{first_name}} and similar are filled from each lead; after a “|” is the text used when the field is empty. Written for a conversion consultant writing to online store owners.

When to use it

When you've actually tried the store's checkout before writing.

Why it works

  • Behaving like a customer gives you real, specific insight.
  • Store owners rarely see their own checkout fresh.
  • It names one fix, not a list of everything wrong.

How to adapt it

  • Go through each store's checkout before writing and note one real issue.
  • Never claim to have bought something if you didn't.
