On average, a website gets 98% of anonymous visitors, people who have not filled the contact form or shared their details with you. If you run an online business, you would like to know who is visiting your site, when they are visiting, what they are looking for, what they want, where they are coming from, and more. Without having a visitor tracking and identification tool in place, your business can’t convert these anonymous visitors into potential leads.
Knowing who are your visitors and what’s their needs and preferences can make a difference to your bottom line. With Visual Visitor, an anonymous website visitor tracking and lead generation tool, you can identify and then organize all website visitors to find sales-qualified leads. It helps you turn data into action.

Studies show that an average buyer progresses 60% of the buyer’s journey before contacting a sales rep or contacting a vendor. This means when a visitor comes to your site, there is a high probability that he or she is interested in your services or products. If you don’t know about these anonymous visitors, that’s a lot of sales opportunities slipping away from your hands.
