I help high-achieving professionals achieve peak performance in high-stress situations without falling victim to stress and burnout. From college dropout to Special Operations team, I share my lessons learned.

Hey, I'm Joel.

TLDR people

I spent 12 years on a Marine Special Operations team. I have dedicated my life to mastering the art of discipline, mental toughness, and resilience. I help clients to harness their inner warrior to conquer life's challenges and emerge stronger. 

The long story. 

I spent the first 22 years of my life lost. Dropped out of college, and worked dead-end jobs. No direction in life. Through finding discipline and mental toughness I was able to enlist in the military and build a career in Special Operations.

Mental toughness and discipline have allowed me to do things I never thought possible: 

- 50-mile runs
- 10 mile swims
- 20 Mile ruck runs

Plus much more.

Most people go through life never realizing what they are capable of.

I'm obsessed with this brand's genius cart setup. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's a perfect example of how simple, strategic tweaks can have a BIG impact on your conversion rates. 
As a CRO expert, I'm a big fan of what this brand (@Girlfriend) has done here.
They've nailed two simple yet game-changing tactics:
1. Free shipping upsell: 
➜ By highlighting that customers are just $29.60 away from unlocking free shipping.
They're cleverly encouraging bigger orders.
It's a win-win.
Customers get free shipping.
The brand boosts its average order value.

2. Impact choice: 
Consumers today want more than just products.
They want brands with purpose.
➜ Letting customers choose where 1% of their purchase goes as a donation is such a smart move. 
(creating an emotional connection ➜ increase the likelihood of conversion ➜ repeat sales 🛒💸) 

These small but mighty optimizations can supercharge your sales. 
Don't underestimate the power of a well-optimized checkout process. 💪

Don’t even THINK about A/B testing your website without reading this first.

A/B testing can give you as high as [%] conversion rate.

BUT jumping in without a plan can be a recipe for wasted time and unnecessary costs.\\

Before you start tweaking headlines and button colors–or even changing the entire website:

This is what I found most of eCom websites are doing till this day...

❌ Testing the wrong elements.
❌ No clear goal– you won’t know if your test are actually working.
❌ Don’t have enough data to be sure your results aren’t just a coincidence.

After helping hundreds of brands capture millions in revenue.

Here’s what we learned:

→ Figure out what "winning" means for your brand.
→ Get to know your audience.
→ Base test ideas on solid site data, not just best practices
→ Start with small focused tests and scale up the clear winners.
→ Track result daily & filter how different audience segments respond

See the difference?

A/B testing can be a powerful tool, but only if you use it STRATEGICALLY.

If you want a CRO that WORKS, you need an agency that gets it.

[CRO controversy #1] 

Does urgency truly drive sales or scare customers away? 
Pick your side.

A) Team "Limited Time Offer".
B) Team "Transparency All the Way".

Share your answers below. 👇 
(the *correct* answer might surprise you...)

Just analyzed a $7.5M brand's trust signals.
Their costly error?
Being vague when being specific costs nothing extra. 🤷♂️

Before: (Converting at 1.2%):
❌ "Trusted by thousands" 
❌ "Expert-recommended" 
❌ "People love our product"

After CRO fixes: (Now at 4.7%)
✅ "45,000 real reviews from real customers (w/ their cat profiles)" 
✅ "Approved by Dr. DeWire, Chief Veterinarian" 

The secret?
Specificity sells.
Three rules I live by:
1.Use exact numbers
2. Name your experts
3. Show real proof

That's it. 
That's the hack.
Proof beats promises. 
Numbers beat words.

P.S. Save this post. 
It's a $2.1M lesson I learned the expensive way. 😅

Statistically speaking, you're messing up.🫨

Running a test for two days with 10 visitors won't tell you anything real.

It’s like flipping a coin once - pure chance, not a winning strategy.
You need enough data to be sure your results aren't just a *coincidence*.

Here's why small tests can leave you frustrated and out of pocket:

😵 Fake wins due to small sample size
😵 Missed opportunities due to limited data

Here’s what you can do:

✅ Get enough real people visiting your site to make sure your results are legit. 

So, how many visitors do you ACTUALLY need?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer.

But it heavily depends on your website traffic and the size of the change you expect. 

The good news?

I'm helping ecom brand owners crush their conversion rates with data-driven strategies.

DM me “CRO” for more.

Spots are limited.

This is what happened to your sales once you started using CRO.
➜ Sales increase of up to 15%
➜ Capture quality leads and convert them into customers
➜ Faster checkout speeds
➜ Happier customers

How?

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) help you:
1) Decrease the bounce rate of website visitors by 20%-50%. ⬇️
CRO makes that a reality. 
By optimizing your website and landing pages with:
✅ Clear calls to action
✅ A smooth user experience
✅ Targeted messaging
We turn those visitors into paying customers. 
Leading to a sales increase of up to 15%.

2) Attract the right kind of customers.
The truth is, NOT all leads are created equal. 
You wouldn't want your sales team spending time chasing after someone who's just browsing, right? 
CRO helps you attract those genuinely interested in what you offer.
Saving you time and resources.
Remember:
❌ You don’t create desire.
✅ You leverage on the existing desires of your customer.
Qualified leads = more receptive to your offerings = high conversion rate

3) Decrease cart abandonment by 20%. ⬇️
Friction in the checkout process is a sales killer. 
CRO helps you streamline (make it smooth and speedy) your customer’s buying journey. 
How?
With: 
✅ Easy-to-understand forms
✅ Multiple payment options
A clear path to purchase = Gets your customers to the finish line (aka purchase!) faster.
You don’t want your impatient customers to wait around for a clunky checkout process, right?

[Be warned] Before making any website changes (big or small).
Stop second guessing what works or not.
Ensure success with data-driven CRO.

Discovery Call

I don't usually share my CRO secrets.
But this is too good to keep to myself 👀
These aren't just strategies.
They're proven formulas for growth (and I don't give them away easily)
But today, I'm making an exception. 
Because the 3-part formula I'm about to share with you is simply too powerful and profitable to keep under wraps.
Introducing...My Favorite Money-Making CRO Formula:
1. Data Mining: 
➜ It all starts by digging deep into your customer data. 
➜ Look for the gold hidden in second-order conversions.
(a.k.a those who come back a second time)
They often show patterns in product preferences or buying combinations.
➜ Then, pay ay close attention to customer journeys: 
Where are people getting stuck or leaving? 
What product bundles, page layouts, or offers drive repeat purchases? 
This part is where you first create targeted optimizations

2. Strategic Placement: 
With your data in hand.
Time to strategically place these data across your site. 
For example:
The post-purchase page is often overlooked.
But it’s the perfect spot to offer:
➜ smart upsells 
➜ cross-sells. 
➜ complementary offers
Your customers are already excited about their purchase.
Use that momentum to suggest products that pair well with what they’ve already bought.

3. Perfect Timing: 
Timing is everything. 
When your customer is fully engaged...
Make it easy for them to buy by:
➜ reducing friction
➜ streamlining the funnel
➜ showcasing clear benefits. 
(Don’t miss the chance to act on current trends, seasonal demands, or real-world events that may be influencing their buying decisions too.)
You want to capitalize on that high-intent momentum and convert as many leads as you can.

if you're after real, sustainable growth (not just vanity metrics).
This is the formula you need.
Use this intel wisely, my friend. :)

No alternative text description for this image

If you're after real, sustainable growth (not just vanity metrics).
This is the tried-and-true formula that's delivered incredible results for me (and my clients):
The High-converting First Fold Stack:

👆 Top:
• Lead with a killer value prop
This is your hook—your chance to tell them, “Here’s what’s in it for you.”

👉 Middle:
Add credibility and trust with elements like:
• Press logos
• Trust badges
• Review count
This layer shows them you’re legit and trusted by others.
So they feel confident in sticking around.

👇 Bottom:
• Finally, give them ONE clear action to take. 
Avoid any competing buttons or extra choices—just a simple path forward.

Nail these three elements, and you're well on your way to converting way more visitors. 🛒🛍️

What Wuffes gets right about CRO 🐾
I was scrolling through pet wellness brands when Wuffes really caught my eye. 
You know when something just clicks? 
That was it for me.
So, why did Wuffes stand out? 
Simple: they've nailed their value proposition right above the fold. 
(this isn't just cute – it’s conversion genius)
Here’s why:

📌 Clear benefit, No fluff 
They know their audience wants quick, tangible results. 
The main message? 
It’s crystal clear
No complicated jargon 
Just a simple, powerful, and result-driven headline.
➜ “Better joint health in 3 weeks.” 

📌 Trust signals
Right at the bottom, they’ve got trust-building icons like:
- Made in the USA
- Science-Backed
Which helps customers feel secure.
Especially when shopping for their pets. 
(Wuffes makes sure to give them that peace of mind)

📌 Strong CTA
Wuffes does it without any over-complication.
That “SHOP NOW” button is 
- bright and easy to spot
- impossible to miss
Guiding customers effortlessly towards the next step.

The secret to quick conversions?
Highlight the problem your product solves within 5 seconds.
If you don’t grab your visitor’s attention fast.
They’ll click away and jump to your competitor’s site.
(and trust me, you can't afford that)

You hit the launch button. ✔️ 
Getting ready to see the sales roll in... nothing but *crickets* 😵

The culprit? Leaks in your conversion funnel.

Imagine your website as a funnel. 

You pour potential customers (traffic) in at the top.

BUT they're dripping out through holes before they reach the desired outcome.

The sweet kaching of a purchase.

Leaks in your conversion funnel are what's stopping those visitors from becoming customers.

Here's the secret to plugging those leaks: 👇

The secret isn't just about fancy website design (although that doesn't hurt). 

→ The real secret lies in understanding your customers and building trust. 

→ It's about removing anything that makes buying from you a hassle. 

Here's how we did it:

1. Become a customer whisperer.

Dive deep and understand your ideal customers:

✅ needs, wants, and pain points. 
✅ speak their language
✅ address their concerns directly
✅ position yourself as the solution they've been searching for.

2. Build trust. 

Nobody buys from someone they don't trust. 

Showcase in your website these CRO elements:

✅ positive customer testimonials
✅ highlight your expertise
✅ offer clear guarantees. 

Make them feel confident in their decision to choose you. 

3. Friction? we don't know her.

Streamline your buying process. 

Help your visitors easily find:

✅ the information they need
✅ complete forms with minimal effort
✅ navigate your site intuitively

Confusing layouts and unclear calls to action are conversion killers – MUST eliminate them.

I doubled my client’s sales by studying ecom stores in just 6 months.
Here's what I learned:
I optimized over 647 websites, and let me tell you.
Getting conversions can be tough.
But by understanding what works well in successful ecom stores.
I was able to implement CRO strategies that drove 100% increase in sales for my client.

Here are 3 CRO strategies we used:
1) People want to find what they need fast.
So we implemented:
➜ clear menus
➜ high-quality product photos showcasing details
➜ concise descriptions that focused on benefits. 
To make my client's website a breeze to navigate.
Visitors instantly understand their value proposition in just 5 seconds of landing.

2) They used powerful calls to action.
➜ Strong CTAs like "Add to Cart" were strategically placed near product details.
Making it easier for visitors to find and take the next step.

3) Successful stores rely on A/B testing to constantly improve.
➜ We test different headlines, product layouts, and CTA placements.
Based on the areas that need improvement and immediate attention.
We follow key metrics before making small or big changes.
✅ Conversion funnel metrics like bounce rate, click-through rate (CTR), and cart abandonment rate.
✅ User engagement metrics like time spent on page, scroll depth, and heatmaps.
This data-driven approach allowed us to identify the most effective elements that drove the most conversions.

Every component you need to create an ecom landing page that generates $100k+.

- Captivating headline
- Announcement bar
- Subheadline
- Compelling hero image or video
- Social proof (testimonials/reviews):
- Pricing
- Scarcity & urgency
- Trust badges
- Security badges
- Product guarantees
- FAQ
- Footer
- Exit-intent popups (with caution) 
- Clear & compelling CTA
- A/B testing (as part of overall strategy)

Remember:

Your goal is to create a clear, concise, and persuasive landing page that focuses on your customer’s needs and conversion.

Don't overload the page with too many elements that might overwhelm or distract visitors.

Your landing page needs BOTH. 

➜ Traffic (Ad) 
➜ An optimized landing page 

= Conversion GOAL

In the world of e-commerce, conversions are king. 

But what drives those conversions? 

Many believe it's just about traffic.

The more visitors you have, the more sales you make. 

However, the reality is far more complex than that. 

Imagine this:

You're running a targeted ad campaign.

Driving high volumes of visitors to your landing page (lots of traffic!). 

However, if those visitors land on a confusing or poorly designed landing page...

They'll likely bounce and never convert.

That’s why, I always say this:

Both traffic and landing pages matter for conversions.

➜ High-quality traffic (targeted ads): Gets the RIGHT people to your site.

➜ Optimized landing page (CRO): Converts visitors into customers.

Think of it as a mathematical equation:

High-Quality Traffic (Targeted Ads) x Optimized Landing Page = Increased Conversions

DON’T neglect either side.

Remember: It's not about just traffic, and it's not about just a good landing page. 

It's about both working together to achieve your conversion goals.

Don’t just talk to your best customers.
Talk to the ones that almost got away too.
Studies show almost-lost customers convert at a *higher rate* than average customers. 
How? 
Simple.
Because they have addressed these customer concerns head-on...
hidden fees
confusing checkout process 
slow loading times
technical glitches
unclear product info
—these are all *solvable* problems.
➜ With a little CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) magic.
➜ Understanding the psychology behind almost-lost shoppers.
You can capture the hearts and wallets of recovered customers any day you want.
(big brands like Amazon do this too 🤫) 
Follow these 3 psychology-driven CRO tips (and how to implement this in your website):
1) Exit-intent offers. 
Entice your potential customers back with discounts or free shipping when they show signs of leaving.
✅ Add a pop-up window that triggers when a user moves their cursor towards the top of the page (indicating they might leave).
2) Retargeting campaigns.
Remind them of abandoned items or similar products with targeted ads.
✅ Partner with ad platforms like Facebook or Google to run retargeting campaigns. 
Your ad campaigns must show the ads featuring the items that they abandoned.
3) Personalized recommendations.
Suggest products that complement their browsing history.
✅ Use website analytics tools to track user behavior and browsing history. 
Based on this data. 
You can recommend complementary products on the product page itself.
—
By incorporating these psychology-driven CRO tips.
You can now do 4 things at once:
➜ Address customer concerns
➜ Recover lost sales.
➜ Turn "almost-lost" shoppers into repeat customers.
➜ Transform your ecom business into a thriving one
So, the next time a shopper abandons their cart.
Don't despair. 🙅
Consider it an opportunity to create a new customer. 😉

Grabbing your customer's attention is a race against the clock.
The million-dollar question is: how do you grab someone's attention online in 5 seconds or less?
Here’s how to grab *eyeballs* into your website in just 4 seconds.
My proven above-the-fold CRO strategy:
1️⃣ Headline Hero:
➜ Focus on the benefits. 
➜ Craft a clear and concise headline that speaks directly to your target audience's needs and desires. 
➜ What problem do you solve? 
➜ What value do you offer?
➜ Keep it punchy.
➜ Aim for 6-10 words and avoid jargon. 
➜ Use strong verbs and action words to grab attention.

2️⃣ Visual appeal.
➜ People process visuals faster than text, so make a good first impression.
➜ Use professional or captivating images that are relevant to your offer.
➜ Keep it simple. 
➜ Avoid cluttered graphics or overwhelming layouts.
➜ Pro tip: Test different images to see what resonates best with your audience.

3️⃣ Get to the point.

➜ Prioritize a clear value proposition.
➜ Explain what you do and why it matters in a concise and compelling way. 
➜ Focus on the benefits for the visitor, not just your features.
➜ Bullet Points are your new friend.
➜ Use bullet points to highlight key benefits and make the information easy to digest.

4️⃣ Call to action (CTA).
➜ Don't leave visitors wondering what to do next. 
➜ Include a clear and strong call to action button.
➜ Use action verbs like "Add to cart," or "Shop More" to encourage action.
➜ Make it stand out from the crowd.
➜ Use contrasting colors and clear text to make your CTA button visually appealing.

For Physical Products:

(+37% conversion)

"✔ Next Slot Today ✔ Satisfaction Guaranteed ✔ Cancel Anytime"
(+33% conversion)

Then. place them near your buy button. 
No fancy strategies. 
No complex psychology. 
Just simple trust signals that’s proven to work.
Even big brands like @InsideWeather do this.

I was wrong about CRO.
Spent $50K optimizing checkouts. 
Should've fixed this instead 😔
Most visitors die on product pages—not at checkout.

Here's why:
→ This is where customers actually make buying decisions
→ Most ad and search traffic lands here first
→ The biggest drop-offs happen here (not checkout!)

3 quick, tested fixes that work:

Add real customer photos below (27% conversion lift)
Show shipping time BEFORE they click "Add to Cart" (19% fewer cart abandonments)

Include size comparison visuals (44% fewer returns)
Sometimes, the best optimizations are simple (and free)

Save this before I delete it. 👆

“Make it sound professional”, the client said.
I disagreed.
After countless A/B tests, I've learned that “professional” often just means “complicated”.
Your customers don’t buy because they’re impressed by your *big words or fancy jargon*. 
They buy because they understand.

Here's my CRO motto:
If you can say it simpler, do it
If you can prove it, show it
If you can count it, share it
I test copy for a living—and I can tell you, these approaches convert *much, much* better.

Why? 

A 6th-grade reading level outperforms MBA-speak by 2.5x. 
At the end of the day, your customers don’t want complexity. 
They want clarity.

The goal of your website isn’t to impress.
It’s to connect. 🤝

Give customers the information they need (without the fluff).
And your CVR rate will (increase and) follow. 📈

The $439,721 lesson from a single word change:
Stop blaming your copy for poor conversions. 
The words aren't your problem. 
Your framing is.
Here's the exact shift that doubled my client's sales in 24 hours:
Before: "Free shipping on orders over $29.60"
After: "Only $29.60 away from free shipping"
Same information. Different context. 2x conversions.
But wait... it gets better.
More profit-pulling reframes I've tested: 
❌ "14-day trial" 
✅ "Test drive for 2 full weeks"
❌ "Cancel anytime" 
✅ "No contracts, no commitments"
❌ "5% off your purchase" 
✅ "Save $50 instantly"
❌ "Buy now, pay later" 
✅ "Split $100 into 4 easy payments"
Context > Content
The science behind this? 
Your brain processes negatives ("cancel") differently than positives ("freedom to choose").
🔍 Quick audit you can do today: 
Look at your top landing page. 
Find one negative phrase. 
Reframe it positively.
That's your instant conversion boost.

My product description was so baaad, my mom bought from our competitor.
(yes. my own mother)
The woman who still has my macaroni art from 2nd grade.
(emotional damage intensifies)
That little wake-up call forced me to get serious about my product copy. 
So, I developed a framework that’s not only mom-approved but powerful enough to make her switch back.
The “Product Description Framework” that brings mothers back:
Step 1: Find your best seller
Let’s make your top product shine like it deserves.

Step 2: Use a formula that matches your product type.
For Fashion items:
Perfect for [occasion]"
"Fits like [comparison]"
"Feels like [sensation]"

For Tech gadgets:
"Solves [problem]"
"Specs at a glance ↓"
"Real use: [scenario]”

For Beauty products:
"Unlike [common issue]"
"Results in [timeframe]"
"How to apply: [steps]"

Step 3: Watch mom-approved sales roll in 🛒💰

Save this framework. 
Test it today. 
Make your mom proud. 😊
(P.S. Because, honestly, if you can win over your mom, you’ve won the game 🙌)
