Lead generation is tough

Lead generation is tough

We ask prospects to give us their personal data for free and in exchange, we offer them a few uncertain benefits. If all you do is ask a user to become a subscriber, there’s no engagement.

The best way to overcome this difficulty of low customer engagement is to offer something very valuable in exchange, such as a free guide, service, or discount.

  • They provide value. If your bait is relevant and intelligent, it shows your customers you are not trying to just get their money.
  • They are shareable. It's easy to share links to your research or to use your video in a blog post.
