In the latest article posted to PR Newswire's Small Business PR Toolkit, contributing author Brad Shorr highlights five attributes of a great website lead form that can assist you with lead prioritization.
- Budget response. Having a field in your lead-generation form for budget-related information is an excellent way to weed out legitimate leads from those that aren't ready to purchase. Any lead that is received where a budget has been allocated should be prioritized and followed up with immediately.
- Job titles. Ensure your forms have a field for job titles in order to quickly identify decision-makers who may be ready to make a purchase.
- Previous contact. If your lead has made previous contact with your organization, chances are these leads will be easier to close than first-time inquiries. Consider adding a form field that asks, "Have your purchased from us or considered purchasing from us in the past?"
