How To Build a High Converting Product Page

#222: Website Teardown | Do your product pages actually tell potential customers what they need to know—or are they just a list of features they’ll ignore? In this session from the Ultimate Roast of B2B Websites, Madhav Bhandari, Head of Marketing at Storylane, joins Robert Kaminski, Co-Founder at Fletch PMM and Dan Murphy, COO at Exit Five to tear down real B2B product pages, exposing what works, what doesn’t, and how to fix it.

They also cover:

  • The biggest mistakes B2B marketers make on product pages (and how to fix them).
  • How to structure a product page that drives trials and conversions.
  • The role of interactive demos, videos, and CTAs in guiding prospects to the next step.

    Today’s episode is brought to you by Walnut.

    Why are we spending all this time on marketing… just to push buyers to a “Request a Demo” button? Even if they’re interested, no one wants to click that. No one wants to “talk to sales.” They just want to try the product for themselves!


    Good news: now they can - with Walnut.

    Walnut is the interactive demo platform for marketers who are done hiding their product and want to put it front and center.


    You can build guided, self-serve demos in minutes. No engineers. No developers. No waiting. Embed them on your site. Drop them in emails. Let buyers explore your product on their terms - at any stage of the funnel.


    And the best part? You get the data. See what features prospects are engaging with, where they drop off, and what’s actually driving pipeline.

    500+ companies use Walnut - including Adobe and NetApp. Their teams save 400+ hours a year building demos… and have prevented over 1.5 million minutes of bad ones.

    So if you want to drive more leads, shorten sales cycles, and actually show your product, go check out Walnut.io (and tell their team you heard about it on the Exit Five podcast!).
