DESCRIPTION
If you're not using your CRM system to help improve online conversions you are missing out on a huge opportunity. Using data you already have about your prospects, you can dynamically adjust the length of your online forms. Eliminating fields like title or industry can increase the form-fill rate and give you the freedom to test the addition of new qualification fields that could boost acceptance rates of leads by your sales team. Learn how to implement these techniques on your site—without being creepy.
