Forms that convert

Place forms where intent is highest. Choose fields that balance data quality against conversion rate. Make every form work harder.

Introduction

Forms are friction. Every field you add reduces conversion. But too few fields mean unqualified leads waste sales time. The best forms balance information capture with conversion rate asking just enough to qualify without asking so much that prospects abandon. This chapter shows you how to design forms that convert by reducing fields, using smart defaults, explaining why you're asking, and testing variations that improve submission rates without sacrificing lead quality.
