Needing a website for your business is a given, but the same website from 2000 or even 2013 isn’t going to cut it. To succeed with inbound marketing and They Ask, You Answer, your business website needs a specific user experience and unique features you may not have considered before.
Your business website can be your No. 1 salesperson, driving traffic, leads, and sales every single day of the year, after hours, without ever needing to take a day off. Unfortunately, too many businesses are missing out on this opportunity by investing in the wrong areas.
We’ve built hundreds of websites over the years that have helped businesses get set up for success and, in this course, we share everything you need to know to do it yourself. By the end of this quick, 35-minute course, you'll have a clear understanding of:
- The role your business website needs to play to see the results you're looking for
- What makes your business website great to your ideal buyers
- The consequences of not investing in your business website's user experience

This course is ideally suited for business, marketing, and sales leaders who want to drive more growth through their business website.

If you look at the most successful inbound case studies, the companies who have experienced the most significant sales and revenue growth with inbound, there is one common theme amongst them: They weren’t reliant on an agency or outsourced vendor to dictate what they did. Instead, they owned it. They made the investments, and because of that, revolutionized their businesses and in many cases, their industries.
In this course, you’ll learn what it means to take ownership of your digital sales and marketing, how you can do it, and the long term value it provides.
This course is a great fit for business owners, senior leaders, and leadership team members.
By the end of this course, you’ll know what it takes to transition from a position of reliance on others to a position of ownership for your digital sales and marketing.

Is your website forcing visitors to fill out a form to get a quote? Does it make them have to talk to someone before making a purchase?
Fact: Modern buyers don’t want to be sold to. They want to take ownership of their buying decision and know they’re making the best choice for themselves. Why do you think so many hide behind their computer screens rather than browsing (or braving) the aisles of their local stores?
Self-selection tools (think product match quizzes) transform your website experience to help buyers sell themselves. They help personalize a buyer’s experience on your website, making it not only easier but more enjoyable for them to make a purchase without needing to talk to someone on your team.
In this course, taught by IMPACT’s Chief Learning Officer Chris Duprey, you’ll learn everything you need to create this experience on your website, including:
- What exactly a self-selection tool is
- The different types of self-selection tools
- How self-selection tools can help shorten the sales cycle and improve website conversion rates by guiding buyers to their best options
- How to go about building your own self-selection tool
This course is a must-see for anyone in marketing, but especially those in sales, marketing, design, and user experience.

One of the major challenges most businesses face when trying to grow their company is not within the product itself… but within the people selling the product. Finding and staffing great sales team members can have a dramatic effect on your bottom line. So why is it so hard to hire the right-fit sales reps?
Because buying habits have changed so the way in which we sell must adapt, and not all sales reps are willing to do that. By following this tried-and-true hiring process, you’ll attract the right candidates, save time and effort when interviewing them and be more inclined to hire a better culture fit than ever before.

No matter how much we publish great traffic-driving, lead-generating content, many of us still have sales teams telling us, “You’re still not publishing what we need” or “Yeah, only maybe 1% of our content helps me close any deals.”
In fact, B2B sales teams report that only 27% of the leads passed to them from marketing are even remotely qualified. Enter the revenue team and sales enablement content.
As we’ve seen with businesses all over the world, when your marketing and sales teams join forces as a revenue team, you can start creating powerful content that actually helps close deals (also known as sales enablement content).
But how is it different from what you're already creating? And how do you go about creating a sustainable, scalable sales enablement content strategy that doesn't make you want to rip your hair out and also makes you look like a total money-making hero at your company?
By the end of this course with Liz Moorehead, IMPACT's editor-in-chief, you'll know:
- What sales enablement content is (and isn't)
- What a revenue team is and how the revenue team model is the key to your success
- How to run powerful content brainstorms with your sales team
- How to leverage Liz's custom-built revenue content brainstorm tool
- How to report on the ROI of your content, so no one ever questions your value
