Seriously, people – don’t be lazy! It may be faster and easier to
implement some of the other approaches in this presentation, but this is
by far the most effective way to entice prospects to fill out a form.
Providing unique content that solves your prospects’ challenges also:
• Strengthens branding / credibility / thought leadership
• Builds a relationship with your target audience
• Gives them something to share – you could go viral
Answer their question – address their pain
