    Digital marketers, B2B marketers, B2B businesses, Conversion rate optimizers, and business owners, all those people have one significant thing in common: Those who know how to benefit from CRO.

    And there are only three prerequisites to having a perfect conversion process:

    1- Knowing how to use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics,

    2- Knowing a thing or two about what a successful marketing campaign looks like,

    3- Following the trends and statistics about the subject.

    I believe there isn't much for me to add at this point since the statistics speak for themselves.
