A lead generation funnel exchanges something useful—information, access, a tool, an estimate or a conversation—for permission to continue the relationship.
Start with intent
A lead magnet should help with the same problem that makes the eventual offer relevant.
Keep the capture step focused
Ask only for information that is justified by the next step.
Plan the follow-up before launch
The thank-you page and email sequence should continue the topic rather than abruptly switching to unrelated promotion.
Define lead quality
More leads are not automatically better. Track whether the leads are appropriate for the offer and eventually convert.
