Swap 'No thanks' for 'Maybe later'

Wikimedia’s donation prompt never lets you say no; its dismiss button reads “Maybe later”, and Tom Orbach lists it among the cheapest high-leverage swaps a growth team can make. A flat refusal forces the visitor to decide right now, whereas a deferral asks nothing of them and leaves you a natural reason to come back. Never let the decline button be the last word.

💡 Why it matters

A dismiss button that reads as a final no closes the conversation, while one that reads as a delay costs the visitor nothing and gives you a reason to follow up.

Keep snacking
