Your “book a demo” page is the highest-intent page on your website. The only people who get there already want to talk to you.

So it’s the worst place to lose a visitor, and most companies lose them all the time with bad copy and bad structure.

Which is why fixing it is the cheapest growth work you’ll ever do. ✅ With the same traffic and same budget → you’ll get way more booked calls.

Here’s what I’d do to get 3x more booked calls (7 steps):

1. 🗑️ Cut the form down to one field

As a rule of thumb, every field with an asterisk (must fill in) costs you completions. So before you add one, ask a blunt question: do you actually need this, or can you find it yourself?

The best demo pages ask for one thing only: work email.

Think about it - why would you need anything else? Once you get the work email, you can find them on LinkedIn, enrich the contact with Clearbit or Apollo, and you’re done.

I’m also against open text fields (like “tell us about your requirements”). I get why sales loves it, but you’re asking a stranger to write you an essay before you’ve shown them anything. They won’t. They’ll close the tab. If you really need context, make it a dropdown and save the real questions for the call. Amie still runs the open box, and I promise you it’s costing them:

2. 🗣️ “Submit” is a terrible button

People don’t “submit” or “request” things in real life, so don’t make your button say it. Roughly how I rank them:

✅ See [Company] (e.g. “See Rippling”)
✅ See it in action
✅ Get a demo
✅ Choose a time
❌ Request a demo
❌ Submit
❌ Submit form

If it sounds like a form → fix it.

Make the button sound like the outcome a human may want.

3. ⭐ Show how many people already trust you

Drop your star rating from G2 or Trustpilot right next to the form, and lead with the number of reviews. That’s the part doing the real work. “4.8 from 5,809 reviews” (like Deel) is far more convincing than “4.8” on its own, because the volume proves thousands of real people already trust you. The bigger that number, the better. One rule: don’t make the badge a link, or you’ll send the person you fought so hard to get straight off to G2.

4. 🔮 Tell them exactly what happens next

Half the time people churn for a dumb reason: they have no idea what they’re agreeing to. A walkthrough or a hard pitch? Wait 2 days or 2 hours? So tell them. Vee lays it out next to the demo form, I love it!

The next tricks are the ones you won’t find anywhere else online, including the experiment that grew our demo requests by 30%. More than once ↓
