E-commerce Conversion Strategist

06/17/2026

This young man taught me everything about being an entrepreneur without ever knowing it.

My dad was 21 years old in this picture, I was just six weeks old.

He gave me something every child deserves… a foundation that still brings me to tears when I think about it.

Take risks.
Say yes way more than you say no.
Honesty is the only thing that matters.
Help when someone reaches out their hand.
God before anything.
Work your butt off.
Take no shortcuts.
Speak up when something is wrong.
Change what you don’t like.

Before he passed away two years ago, we had one of the hardest conversations of our lives.

We were sitting on his couch. He was crying. He told me he was going to miss Ben’s high school graduation (his youngest grandbaby.)

I looked at him and said, “I know. We’re going to miss you so much dad.”

Then he turned to me and said…

“I did something right in my life to have a daughter like you.”

Those words will stay with me forever.

The last 12 months in my business have brought me to my knees more times than I can count.

I completely changed my offer and how I support my clients.

With that came new marketing, DFY services, and the kind of white glove experience I believe my clients deserve.

I’ve had conversations with founders preparing for Shark Tank and brands planning six-figure launches.

And with growth comes fear, uncertainty and many moments of questioning yourself.

But this six week old baby had no idea what God had planned for her.

I didn’t know I would carry my dad’s lessons and legacy into every aspect of my business.

You’ve been solving the wrong problem.

When conversion stalls, the instinct is always the same.

Rewrite the copy.

Redesign the page.

Test a new offer.

Review the heatmaps.

Pull the analytics.

Maybe it’s the product.

Maybe it’s the price.

Maybe it’s the traffic.

Here’s what nobody tells you…

Most conversion problems aren’t caused by what customers see.

They’re caused by what the business doesn’t understand.

Analytics can tell you where customers leave.

They can’t tell you what was missing from the decision.

So the redesign launches.

The agency submits the recommendations.

The ad spend keeps running.

The team keeps executing.

And the same question comes back every month.

Why isn’t this working the way it should?

The expensive part isn’t the conversion rate.

It’s spending another six months improving things customers don’t actually care about.

It’s sitting in another meeting where everyone has a theory and nobody has an answer.

It’s watching your team execute flawlessly against assumptions that were never true.

It’s making the next hire, the next campaign, the next website change, and the next strategic decision with the same missing piece of information.

Meanwhile, the brands pulling ahead aren’t necessarily smarter.

They aren’t necessarily better.

They just understand their customer more accurately.

Which means they know what matters.

What doesn’t.

What to ignore.

And where to focus.

If you’ve invested in growth, worked with agencies, tested endlessly, and still can’t clearly explain why customers buy, DM CONVERT.

So you spend months optimizing things customers don’t care about.

You sit through agency calls discussing headlines, offers, and layouts while the real problem goes untouched.

You launch another campaign hoping this one lands.

You approve another round of creative.

You watch competitors grow and convince yourself they must have a bigger budget.

And eventually every decision starts feeling heavier than it should.

Here’s what’s actually happening…

Every person in that room, your agency, your media buyer, your designer, was looking at your store.

Nobody looked at your buyer.

Not once.

So your agency kept optimizing toward reach. Your media buyer kept chasing ROAS. Your designer kept refining the layout. Everyone hit their number. Your revenue still didn’t move.

Because none of them were paid to understand why your customer buys.

And every quarter you stay in that room having that same conversation - the gap between the business you’ve built and the results it should be producing gets wider.

The founders pulling ahead aren’t running more tests.

They’re the ones who can sit in any room with their team, their agency, their investors and explain exactly why their buyer bought.

Which doubt almost stopped the purchase.

What made them come back.

That’s not a campaign. That’s a different operating level.

Most founders know what their conversion rate is.

Very few know why.

DM me CONVERT if you’re ready to be the one in that room who actually knows.

Your product page should turn 8,000 sessions into 240+ sales without you touching a single ad.

If the page isn’t converting at that level, it’s because the things that actually move a buyer aren’t on it.

It never names the moment that sent your buyer looking.

It never calls out what every other product in the category gets wrong, so they keep comparing you across five open tabs.

It doesn’t show what going without it is costing them right now, so there’s no weight behind deciding today.

It doesn’t name why the last thing they bought in this category let them down, so that doubt carries onto your page.

There’s no proof there’s no better option, so they keep looking for one.

The misconceptions they walked in with go unanswered, so they talk themselves out of it.

There’s no proof someone exactly like them got the result, so they wonder if they’re the exception.

And it never shows who they become by buying it, so price is the first thing they weigh.

Without this, every change you make to the page is a guess you’re calling a test.

Every good month is a coin flip you’re waiting to land twice.

When you have complete literacy on who your buyer is:

You’re the brand in your category other founders start studying.

The one a competitor quietly mirrors six weeks later.

You stop being one of the stores in the space and become the one the others are watching to figure out what you know that they don’t.

A client’s conversion rate went up 63% in three weeks. Same theme, same traffic.

With their customer psychology and data I mapped exactly who was landing on the page and what each buyer needed to see to decide, and we put it on the page.

You don’t know their CVR. You don’t know their bounce rate on mobile.

You don’t know if that “Shop the Bundle” section has converted a single person this month.

You’re reverse-engineering a black box.

The competitor you’re studying is also guessing

They just guessed before you did. And now you’ve copied the guess.

♟️The only thing you should be studying is your customers.

Follow Nina if you want to understand your customer’s decision-making at the level where nothing on your store is guesswork anymore.

You don’t just want more sales.

You want to stop making decisions about your store and start making decisions about your next product.

You already know your product is good.
You already know more people should be buying.

You already know the answer isn’t another agency, another A/B test, another redesign that moves nothing.

You want the explanation that makes every decision downstream make sense.

Where you restock without the pause.

Scale ad spend without the calculation.

Change one thing on a page and know exactly why it moved.

You already know your store is capable of that. You just haven’t had someone start with your buyer instead of your store.

♟️DM BUYER

Because the founders who understand their buyer don’t chase the next tactic. They get studied as one.

Something is off and it’s not the product. It’s not the traffic. But every time you try to name it, you can’t.

And that gap, between knowing something is wrong and not being able to locate it is the thing that’s quietly eroding you.

“We’re optimizing the funnel.” “I’m testing a few things.” “I think it might be the copy.”

Privately you tell yourself you have no idea what’s actually wrong.

You’ve changed so many things you can’t even track what you’ve tested.

You’re running on educated guesses and hope.

The store you have publicly and the store you’re actually worried about at 11pm are two different stores.

You want to understand your customer’s decision-making at the level where nothing on the store is guesswork anymore.

I don’t just give you a better store.

I give you the explanation for why your current one isn’t working at the level it should and the psychology your buyer actually responds to.

You already know something is off. You’ve known for months.

Every week you spend testing the wrong things is a week your competitor spends converting the traffic you both paid for.

DM me BUYER if you’re done with strategies that could apply to anyone and wants something that was built from your actual customer.
