What is lead generation?

Generate better quality leads with a Guided Selling solution


Lead Generation is a process of attracting prospective customers and instilling purchase interest in a product or service. They are qualified into different lead categories which are based on their probability of purchasing and becoming paying customers. Such 'leads' can come from sources both online and offline. When we talk about online lead generation, providing a good website experience has certain advantages as people who visit your website would do so either out of curiosity or an interest in your product or service. With the right content and lead magnets, a good website is a powerful lead generator.



How does Guided Selling generate leads?

A Guided Selling solution such as a Product Guide is a valuable tool to generate leads. By integrating Guided Selling in your website, you optimize the purchase journey by providing personalized recommendations. Think about how in-store staff help and offer advice to customers, similarly a Product Guide provides your visitors with the best recommendations and a valid reasoning as to why they match their specific needs. This increases their interest and willingness to interact with your brand or product even more.


After getting personalized recommendations from a Product Guide, your website visitors can choose the best recommendation and generate a product information PDF, or opt to receive it via email by filling in a simple contact form. This process works as follows:

Personalized PDF's

A personalized PDF of this nature provides relevant product information as per the customer's request, and can contain outbound links that could e.g. bring the customer back to the product page or direct them to any other step in the sales process. This also ensures that they have all the product information available whenever they wish to refer back to it.
