About this listen
Shopify brands often chase shiny tools and hacks—while ignoring the fundamentals that actually move the needle.
In this episode of #TheeComGrowthShow, Sheldon Adams, Head of Growth at Enavi, breaks down why most stores are “flying blind” and how to use conversion rate optimization (CRO) to turn visitors into buyers.
With over a decade in ecommerce and four years leading growth at Enavi, Sheldon has helped dozens of brands drive double-digit revenue per visitor growth. He shares why global conversion rate is a misleading metric, the key “intra-site funnel” steps you must track, and how to identify your “metric on fire” to prioritize fixes that matter most.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start scaling smarter on Shopify, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
