Running a business for the long haul requires a lot of resilience, grit, a growth mindset, fortitude, and internal motivation. Complacency is the greatest enemy of business success.
But how does resilience directly impact your conversion rates? There are four critical connections:
Resilient businesses maintain consistent customer experiences even during setbacks. When challenges come up, non-resilient businesses often sacrifice conversion-critical elements like response time, quality assurance, or customer support. But resilient businesses have systems to maintain these elements even during difficulties.
Most significant conversion improvements (new websites, sales funnels, product launches) involve passing through a crisis point. Non-resilient businesses often abandon these initiatives during the difficult middle phase, and never realize the conversion benefits.
Customers can sense stability. Resilient businesses project consistency and longevity, which addresses the unspoken customer question: "Will you be around to fulfill your promises?" This directly impacts conversion rates, especially for higher-ticket or longer-term commitments.
The market constantly changes. Resilient businesses can adjust their offerings, messaging, and systems without disrupting the customer experience, maintaining or even improving their conversions during transitions that would devastate those with less resilient operations.

Rate your business on each of these dimensions from 1 (needs significant improvement) to 5 (excellent). Be honest—this assessment is for building awareness, not judgment.
