Online Lead Generation: How to optimize forms to convert “window shoppers” into leads webinar by Flint McGlaughlin

As I’ve written before, when dealing with the complex sale, most people aren’t coming to your website to buy; they’re coming to your site for information. And people are hesitant about giving up too much info on forms before you’ve earned their trust.

Have you thought about your web forms? How much information are you asking for before you’ve earned their trust?

I’ve invited Dr. Flint McGlaughlin, Director of MECLABS Group (parent company of MarketingExperiments, InTouch and MarketingSherpa), to show us how to optimize our web forms to increase conversion of that traffic. 

During this complimentary webinar, Dr. McGlaughlin will be performing live optimizations and providing specific advice on improving your online lead generation efforts. You can check out this short video of Dr. McGlaughlin speaking on optimizing email responses.

    Mine is a B2C site, but since real estate is a complex sale I see more in commmon with to B2B than most B2C sites that have a shopping cart.

    Here are two forms that I’d love to have reviewed:

    Thanks for the opportunity.

    We do B2B sales for telecommunication services. Here is one of our landing pages. http://www.telcoiq.com/mpls.php
    Most of the leads to this page are coming from Google Organic search and Google Ad Words

    I too agree with you that people visit sites for information, and it’s not only information…it must be unique and relevant information. The video was helpful….Thanks

    Thanks so much Brian for posting this information. Just wanted to check that the opportunity is still open for site review.

    My husband and I have a new site in something really outside the norm and would love the option of having the site reviewed as our lead generating on the site is not very good at the moment.

    The site it http://www.jaycandkayleylive.com.

    I ask for almost nothing on my forms. Email address, and that’s it, and the text above the box says “we’ll never give out your email address to anyone for any reason, and we’ll never consider this as giving us the right to bug you. We consider it an honor that you’re giving us the opportunity to stay in touch with one email per month, and every email gives you the opportunity to unsubscribe with just clicks of your mouse.”

    Hello Brian

    The general consensus is that you should be offering sufficient free information on your site to get buy in (via a free ebook or online video series for example) from people registering for your mailing list in order to gain access to this information.

    Then you can now leverage this mailing list of yours with future offers (guarding against spam of course…..)This pretty much seems to be the recipe the premier internet marketing experts are all dabbling in.

    Get your tentacles into those window shoppers ;-)

    Best wishes

    Lizzie

    It is very true that capturing “just enough” information on web forms is the key. We started using google analytics with various types of forms to see which form gets the most information and visibility. It was interesting to see that a lot depends on the content too… the more and the better content you, the more are people OK sharing their contact information.
