Ever had people landing on your sales page… but nobody is actually buying? 😩 In today’s episode, Becky breaks down one of the most frustrating problems in online business: sales pages getting views but no conversions.
You’ll learn the sneaky reason this happens (hint: it’s usually NOT your offer), and why so many sales pages accidentally overwhelm buyers by focusing too much on the process instead of the promise.
Becky shares a real client story where a sales page only produced a few sales—until they made two simple tweaks (the intro copy and the mockup image). After those changes, that same offer went on to generate $10K in sales.
If you’re ready to turn page views into purchases, this episode will show you how to:
- Lead with the outcome instead of the curriculum
- Stop selling the “obstacle course” and start selling the transformation
- Fix headlines, visuals, and messaging that make your offer feel like homework
- Make buying feel simple, clear, and doable
Because the truth is: clarity creates cashflow, not complexity.
Podcast Episode Script: Sales Page Getting Views But No Buyers? Here’s What to Fix.
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Becky Beach Show! I’m Becky Beach and today’s episode is about how to fix a sales page that’s getting no views.
Have you ever had one of those moments where you’re staring at your analytics like… “Wait. People are clearly looking at my sales page, so why is literally nobody buying?”
Because that? That is the most annoying kind of problem in the history of online business problems.
It’s like you spent all weekend baking cookies. Your whole house smells like heaven. People keep wandering into the kitchen, lifting the lid off the cookie jar, leaning in real close, nodding like “mmhmm, those look good,” and then just… walking away.
Empty handed.
No cookie.
No compliment.
Not even a “Hey, can I get the recipe?”
Just vibes and an awkward exit.
And you’re standing there like, “What the hell just happened?”
So today we’re talking about what to fix when your sales page is getting views but no buyers. And stick with me here, because I’m gonna tell you about one of my clients—and her story is the exact picture of what’s happening to a lot of you right now.
Her sales page was getting traffic. Real traffic. People were landing on it. She was watching those page views climb and getting all excited… until she checked her actual sales and realized the page had only made her like three sales.
Three.
Not zero. But definitely not “this launch is paying my mortgage and funding my next vacation” either.
More like “this launch bought me coffee for a week.”
So we made two tweaks. Literally two tweaks. And after that? She went on to earn $10k from her launch.
Same offer.
Same audience.
Same everything else.
So what changed?
We’ll get there. But first, let’s talk about the sneaky, annoying, surprisingly common reason this happens in the first place.
Because here’s the thing. Usually the problem is not your product. Your offer is probably great. And honestly? It’s not even that your sales page is “bad.” Like, objectively speaking, it’s probably fine.
The problem is that your sales page is doing a fantastic job at one thing… and a truly terrible job at the one thing that actually matters.
It’s doing a great job at explaining the journey. The process. The steps. The modules. The whole “here’s how we’re gonna get you there” part.
But it’s doing a terrible job at selling the end result.
And I know that sounds like “okay Becky, what does that even mean?” So let’s unpack it like we’re sitting in the carpool line together, sipping iced coffee that’s gone lukewarm, trying to pretend we’re not behind on laundry and also maybe forgot to respond to like six texts.
When people click on your sales page, they are not sitting there with a fresh planner and a highlighter, ready to absorb a detailed roadmap of every step they’re about to take.
They’re not looking for the syllabus.
They’re looking for relief.
They’re looking for a win.
They’re looking for that moment where they can finally exhale and think, “Oh my gosh… THIS. This is exactly what I need.”
And a lot of sales pages—especially ones written by really good, caring, generous people who genuinely want to help—accidentally do the complete opposite.
They make people feel like buying means signing up for a second full-time job.
Even if your offer is amazing. Even if you’re an incredible coach. Even if the transformation you’re offering is one hundred percent worth it and you know it would change their life.
If the page makes it feel like, “Okay so here’s 47 steps, 12 modules, 8 worksheets, 3 live calls, a workbook, a resource library, a Slack channel, and also a partridge in a pear tree…”
Your reader’s brain just goes: “Nope. Hard pass. I’m already tired.”
Because here’s what you have to remember. Your audience is not reading your sales page from a quiet home office with a candle burning and a color-coded calendar open beside them.
They’re reading it while reheating leftovers for the third time this week. They’re dodging a toddler meltdown. They’re squeezing in five minutes before their next Zoom call. They’re reading it on their phone in the grocery store parking lot because they finally had a second to breathe.
They want the shortest possible bridge between where they are right now and where they desperately want to be.
So if your sales page is getting views but no buyers, I want you to really consider this. Your page might be making the transformation feel far away. Or complicated. Or heavy. Or like something they’ll have to carve out a whole extra life to accomplish.
And overwhelmed people don’t buy.
Overwhelmed people click out. They bookmark it. They tell themselves, “I’ll come back to this later when I have more time,” which is honestly the biggest lie we all tell ourselves on the internet.
Because “later” never comes.
So the fix—and this is the thing I want you to tattoo on your brain—the fix is almost always this: lead with the end result.
Sell the outcome, not the obstacle course.
Let me say that again, because it’s basically the heartbeat of this whole episode and if you get nothing else, get this.
Sell the outcome, not the obstacle course.
Okay. So let’s talk about my client. Because her story will make this much clearer.
She came to me feeling super discouraged. And honestly, I totally get it. Because when you’ve poured your whole heart into creating an offer, and you’ve built this sales page, and you’ve been showing up and posting and emailing and doing all the things…
And then you hear crickets?
It’s personal. Even when you try really hard to act like it’s not personal. Even when you tell yourself “it’s just business” and “I’m just testing things.”
It feels personal.
She told me, “People are visiting the page. I can see them landing on it. But they’re not buying. And I don’t understand why.”
So we pulled up her sales page together. And right away—like within the first thirty seconds—I could see exactly what was happening.
Her introduction copy was basically a detailed summary of the process she was going to take people through.
It was all about the journey. The steps. The how.
And then the mockup image—you know, that visual that shows people what they’re actually buying—it made the offer look like a lot.
Not “wow, so much value” a lot.
But “wow, that’s a lot of work” a lot.
It unintentionally screamed: “This is gonna be intense. Clear your schedule. Prepare to be overwhelmed.”
So even though the offer itself was actually designed to make things easier for people, the marketing made it feel heavier.
And this—this right here—is so incredibly common with people who care. With good teachers. With coaches who genuinely want to help.
Because when you’re a good teacher, your instinct is to explain. You want people to understand what they’re getting. You want to be thorough. You want to prove that you’ve thought of everything.
And when you’re genuinely trying to help people, you start listing everything. Every module. Every bonus. Every call. Every resource. Because in your mind, that’s what’s going to prove it’s worth the money.
But persuasion doesn’t actually work like that.
Clarity sells.
Relief sells.
Simplicity sells.
And here’s the truth that might sting a little: people don’t buy information.
They don’t buy your process.
They don’t buy your curriculum.
They buy the version of themselves they’re trying to become.
They buy the end result.
They buy the feeling of finally having it handled.
So we did two tweaks to her page. Just two.
We tweaked the intro copy and we tweaked the mockup image.
And I want you to hear this really clearly, because this is important. These were not “make it prettier” tweaks. These were not “add some design elements” or “pick a better font” tweaks.
They were “make it clearer” tweaks.
We changed the intro so it led with the transformation. Not the curriculum. Not the steps. Not the “here’s how we’re gonna do it” part.
We led with what they get on the other side.
What their life looks like after.
What problem is solved.
What they can finally stop worrying about.
And then we adjusted the mockup image so it supported that same message of simplicity and result. Because here’s the thing about visuals. Visuals sell a feeling. They set a tone. They communicate something before a single word is even read.
And if your image is saying “this is overwhelming” or “this is complicated” or “you’re gonna need a PhD to get through this,” then you’re going to repel the exact person who needs your help the most.
The person who’s already stretched thin and overwhelmed is not gonna sign up for more overwhelm.
So we made the visual match the promise.
After those two tweaks, she launched again. And she earned $10k.
That’s not magic.
That’s not some secret formula.
That’s messaging alignment.
That’s her sales page finally matching what people actually want when they decide to buy something.
Okay—so now you might be sitting there thinking, “Cool story, Becky, but how do I know if I’m doing this same thing? How do I know if my page has this problem?”
Let’s diagnose it together. Like a mini sales page audit, but without making you redo your entire life today. Deal?
If your sales page is getting views but no buyers, here are a few things that are probably happening.
First, your headline might be describing the vehicle instead of the destination.
So instead of saying something like, “Get X result,” it’s saying something like, “Learn my proven 6-step method for achieving X.”
And listen. Methods are fine. Processes are fine. Frameworks are totally fine. I love a good framework.
But they belong after you’ve hooked someone with the outcome.
Because your reader’s brain is doing this lightning-fast scan when they land on your page. And they’re asking themselves one single question: “Is this for me, and will it help me?”
And they decide that in like three seconds.
Maybe five if you’re lucky.
So if your headline is making them do math in their head—like, “Okay, so if I follow this 6-step process, and if I do it right, then I might end up with the result I want…”
That’s too much friction.
That’s too much work.
You want it to be instant recognition. Like, “Oh. Yes. That’s exactly what I want. Where do I sign up?”
Second, you might be over-explaining the journey in a way that accidentally makes the result feel way harder than it needs to.
This one is so sneaky. Because in your mind, you think you’re being helpful. You think you’re being thorough and transparent and setting proper expectations.
But what your reader hears is: “This is going to take a ton of time, energy, and brainpower that I do not currently have.”
And if your audience is already stretched thin—which, let’s be honest, most of us are—they’re gonna pass.
Even if they want the outcome.
Even if they desperately need it.
Because the pain of staying exactly where they are right now feels smaller and more manageable than the pain of taking on something new that feels overwhelming.
So your job is to make the transformation feel not only possible, but actually doable. In their actual life. Not in some fantasy life where they wake up at 5am with tons of energy and journal for 45 minutes and meal prep on Sundays and never get interrupted by literally anything.
In their real, messy, chaotic, “I forgot to move the laundry to the dryer again” life.
Third thing that might be happening: your mockup image might be sending completely the wrong message.
I love a gorgeous mockup. I really do. But here’s what I want you to remember. Mockups aren’t just “pretty.” They’re not just decoration.
They are positioning.
If your mockup looks like a 400-page textbook, don’t be surprised when people decide they don’t have the bandwidth for that right now.
If your mockup looks cluttered or complicated or like there are 37 different components they’re gonna have to keep track of and organize and not lose, it creates mental fatigue.
And mental fatigue equals no sale.
Every time.
Okay, so what do we do instead?
We flip the whole entire approach from “Here’s everything you’re gonna go through” to “Here’s who you’ll be when you’re done.”
Because that’s what people actually want.
They don’t want a journey.
They want a change.
They want to go from “I’m stuck and I don’t know what I’m doing” to “I have a clear plan and I feel confident.”
From “I’m completely overwhelmed” to “I finally feel in control.”
From “I’m just guessing and hoping” to “I actually know what I’m doing.”
From “I keep starting over and never finishing” to “I’m finally consistent and it’s working.”
And then—and this is key—once they’re emotionally bought into that vision of themselves, once they can see it and feel it and want it… then you show them the journey in a way that feels supportive.
Not heavy.
Not scary.
Not like homework they’re already dreading.
Supportive.
Think of it like this. If you’re trying to sell someone on a vacation, you don’t start by saying, “Okay so first you’ll have to pack your suitcase, and that’s gonna take a few hours. Then you’ll drive to the airport and deal with parking. Then you’ll go through TSA and that line might be long. Then your flight might be delayed. Then you’ll have to wait at baggage claim and hope your luggage made it…”
No.
You don’t lead with TSA and baggage claim.
You start with the destination.
You start with the beach chair and the fruity drink and the sunshine on your face and that moment where you finally exhale and all the stress just melts away.
Then, once they’re completely in love with that vision, they’re like, “Sure, fine, I’ll deal with TSA. Whatever. I want that beach.”
Your sales page works exactly the same way.
Lead with the beach.
Then explain TSA.
So if you’re listening right now and you’re thinking, “Oh my gosh, I’ve been leading with TSA this whole time,” I need you to not panic.
This is fixable.
This is so fixable.
And sometimes—like with my client—it’s fixable with literally two changes.
So here’s a really simple way to start shifting your page today. Right now, if you want.
Pull up your sales page. Look at the very first section. Your headline, your subhead, and your main image.
And ask yourself: does this immediately and clearly communicate the end result?
Does it feel like relief?
Or does it feel like homework?
Because if it feels like homework—if it feels like something they’re gonna have to “get through”—your people are gonna click away and go scroll Instagram and tell themselves, “I’ll deal with this later.”
And you deserve better than “later.”
Your offer deserves better than “later.”
Next thing. Scan your page for what I call “journey overload.”
This is where you’re listing everything. Explaining every single step. Giving all the details upfront. Breaking down every module and every call and every bonus.
And again—details are not bad. Information is not bad.
But too many details too early creates decision fatigue.
When your reader feels like they have to understand absolutely everything before they can make a decision, they won’t make a decision.
They’ll just leave.
So instead, your page should create certainty.
And certainty comes from a clear promise, clear positioning, and a clear path forward.
Not from dumping every single feature on them like you’re emptying out a junk drawer onto the kitchen floor and going, “Look at all this stuff! Isn’t it great?”
We’re not doing that.
We’re making it simple.
We’re making it obvious.
We’re making it feel doable.
Now let’s talk about the biggest belief shift that has to happen here. Especially if you’re someone who loves teaching. Especially if you’re someone who’s really, really good at what you do and you want people to understand how good it is.
Your sales page is not a training.
It’s not a masterclass.
It’s not a workshop.
It’s a decision-making tool.
Your job on that page is not to get people to understand every step of your process.
Your job is to help them decide.
That’s it.
And people decide based on outcomes. They decide based on identity. They decide based on how they want to feel. They decide based on whether they believe it can actually work for them, in their real life, with their real limitations.
So your sales page needs to help them picture the after.
Let them see themselves on the other side.
Let them feel the relief of the problem finally being handled.
Let them imagine what their life looks like when this thing is no longer weighing on them.
And then, yes, absolutely, you back it up with what’s included.
But you don’t lead with what’s included.
You lead with what it does.
Because that’s what people are actually buying.
Okay—let me bring this back to my client’s story for a second, because it’s such a perfect example of this playing out in real life.
When we changed her intro text, we didn’t just swap out a few words and call it a day.
We shifted the entire focus from “Here’s what you’ll do” to “Here’s what you’ll get.”
From process to outcome.
From journey to destination.
And when we changed her mockup image, we made sure it matched that same promise.
So the whole top of her page—the part people see first, the part that determines whether they keep reading or click away—told one cohesive story: “This is the result you want, and it’s not gonna crush your life to get there.”
And that’s what made all the difference.
People didn’t suddenly become more motivated.
The offer didn’t magically get better.
The sales page simply made the decision easier.
And when the decision is easy, the sale happens.
Now, if you’re sitting there thinking, “Okay, but what end result do I even focus on? Like, what am I supposed to lead with?”
Because sometimes that’s the actual hang-up. You know you should lead with the result, but you’re not totally sure what that result is. Or how to describe it. Or whether it sounds compelling enough.
Here’s what I want you to remember.
The end result is not “they complete your modules.”
It’s not “they learn the steps.”
It’s not “they understand the concept.”
The end result is the tangible win. The relief. The actual transformation. The before-and-after that matters to them in their real life.
It might be something like, “You’ll launch your offer with a clear plan and a sales page that actually converts.”
Or, “You’ll finally get consistent leads without having to post on social media 24/7.”
Or, “You’ll know exactly what to say in every situation so you can stop overthinking every single sentence.”
That’s what they want.
That’s what they’re willing to pay for.
And if you sell the journey too hard, you’ll accidentally make them feel like the transformation is too far away. Like it’s this distant thing they have to earn through suffering and hard work.
When really, you want them to feel like it’s right there. Waiting for them. Totally doable.
So here’s your permission slip, friend-to-friend.
You don’t have to prove your offer is valuable by making it look big.
You don’t have to list every single thing to justify the price.
You prove it’s valuable by making the outcome feel real and believable and worth it.
You prove it’s valuable by making it feel simple and doable, even for someone who’s already overwhelmed.
You prove it’s valuable by showing them the finish line and saying, “I can help you get there. And it doesn’t have to be complicated.”
Okay, I want to wrap this up with a little pep talk. Because if you’re the one sitting here right now with views and no buyers, I know it can really mess with your head.
You start thinking things like, “Is my offer bad?”
“Am I not credible enough?”
“Do people not actually want this?”
“Maybe I’m just not good at this.”
And usually… no.
Usually it’s none of those things.
Usually you’re just not leading with the thing that makes people say yes.
And it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s not because you’re bad at this.
It’s because you’re too close to your own work.
You’re thinking like a teacher, like an expert, like someone who knows all the steps and wants to share all of them.
And your audience is thinking like a tired human who just wants the result.
So if your sales page is getting views but no buyers, start here.
Fix the headline.
Fix the main image.
Make the end result the absolute star of the show.
Make the journey feel supportive instead of overwhelming.
And remember this: clarity creates cashflow.
Not complexity.
Not long lists.
Not proving how smart you are.
Clarity.
Alright—if you want help with this, here’s what I’d do if I were you.
I’d pull up your sales page right now. And I’d rewrite that headline to be outcome-first. Lead with the transformation. Lead with what they get.
Then I’d look at your mockup image and ask yourself, “Does this look like relief? Or does this look like homework?”
And if you want an extra set of eyes on it, this is literally what I do all the time for my clients.
Book a 6-figure Scaling Call on CoachBeckyBeach.com and I’ll tell you exactly what’s making people hesitate. And exactly what to tweak so it feels like a total no-brainer.
Because you can have the most amazing offer in the world…
…but if the top of your page is selling TSA instead of the beach, we’re fixing that.
You can do this.
You really can.
And tiny tweaks add up fast.
Thanks so much for listening! Have a great day! Goodbye!
