I am completely impressed with the book "Call to Action" and it has markedly improved our business. After reading it I purchased six copies and made it mandatory reading for our marketing department in the US. We started making changes to the site based on the information provided in the book. In just *two* weeks we had increased our conversions by 33%. While that number is good we believe that we will far surpass it as we make more and more changes. The bottom line - we have about one million customers showing up at our site per month so the additional conversion is truly impactful even now - "Call to Action" X 7 copies = 33% increased conversion rate = the BEST roi we're ever going to see.
