See How It Looks on Your Website'

Let visitors see how your product would look like on their website. Let them enter their website URL and generate a preview. This not only allows your visitors to easier understand how your product works but also, the endowment effect occurs - people place a greater value on things once they have established ownership. Thus, they are more likely to want to give your product a shot by starting a trial or purchasing a plan. If they don't, you have their website URL and can find their email address this way (just use hunter.io or similar tool).

Upsell on Thank You Page

This is a moment when users' motivation is high. They've also already developed a certain level of trust by converting for the first time. That's why they're more likely to take another action now. Or, refer a friend. Plus, you already have their contact info, so they don't have to input it again to convert once more. This tactic leverages what's called a 'yes ladder', or 'foot in the door' technique. Once someone says 'yes' once, they're more likely to say 'yes' once more.

Don't Hide Short Forms Behind Buttons

Social Proof Next to Friction Point

Placing a social proof element next to a point of friction decreases psychological resistance that your visitors experience when trying to complete an action. E.g. forms, CTA buttons etc. Examples of social proof: - customer logos - number of users - testimonial - awards/certifications - press mentions - ratings from App Stores / user review sites like Capterra
