Data from a form is better than ordinary feedback: - It helps you develop “[buyer personas](https://www.julcreative.com/blog/how-can-buyer-personas-improve-my-business)” to improve your market segmentation; - It helps sales and marketing teams follow up, using their resources to best effect, we call this Smarketing; - It helps build trust between your enterprise and your prospect, leading to a sale. To get visitors to fill out forms, we suggested tailoring “top of the funnel” and “bottom of the funnel” offers to their needs. There's one challenge, though: Even those who love your offer won’t always fill out your form!   [CONTINUE READING](https://www.trendingupstrategy.com/blog/why-your-forms-arent-converting) [0 Comments](https://www.trendingupstrategy.com/blog/why-your-forms-arent-converting#comments-listing) Topics: [Marketing Powered By Data](https://www.trendingupstrategy.com/blog/topic/marketing-powered-by-data) ## What Is A Smart Field Form? by [Jenna Orrock](https://www.trendingupstrategy.com/blog/author/jenna-orrock)![](https://www.trendingupstrategy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_1160%20square.jpg?width=35&name=IMG_1160%20square.jpg) September 30, 2015 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![{ content.name }}](https://www.trendingupstrategy.com/hubfs/Blog_Photos/Jul-Creative-CTA-Froms-Smart-Fields.jpg)](https://www.trendingupstrategy.com/blog/what-is-a-smart-field-form) ###### Quality Control Through Responsive Data Collection Someone has come onto your website and has clicked a Call-to-Action, now they are directed to a landing page with a form that asks them information.  But what information is important to your sales team to help them talk to this prospect?   What is this prospects persona?  You want to ask them valuable questions and get unique information.  What if this prospect has already filled out a different form?  You want to ask them new questions, right?  To do this, use smart fields.

That means using the RIGHT kind of tools for attracting these buyers. Attracting means putting out that useful content like eBooks, blogs, and articles. If you are working in the contracting industry, you may think about “how to” content of high-level instructional information that will bring in those who are interested in home repairs.

However, it is simply not as efficient or as organized as modern forms of marketing. Consider these reasons why traditional marketing is not as desirable for your custom home building/contractor company. #### Traditional Marketing is Expensive: Think about the costs of a television ad or even a yearlong spread in the Yellow Pages. The fees that you pay for these marketing solutions are only good for a short time. Once that commercial is no longer aired, or the Yellow Pages is outdated, your advertising expenditure is virtually wasted.

Unfortunately, a common misconception is that inbound marketing is only for companies that market directly to the consumer. This could not be further from the truth; Inbound is an incredible asset for both B2C and B2B markets.  As a corporation that mainly sells to other businesses, you do have a few unique considerations—meaning your need for exceptional content and education is even more significant than it is for a B2C firm.  According to HubSpot, B2B companies place a higher value with search engines on educational formats like blogging and webinars, whereas consumer businesses are slightly more willing to experiment with advanced digital formats like interactive content and online tools.  Learn a bit more about how inbound marketing works for organizations like yours today.

Attorneys that ignore the importance of online marketing are failing to tap into one of the best resources for finding new clients to represent.

Sales people who let themselves stagnate and dead-end at merely ‘satisfactory’ eventually fall behind as sales methodology, technology, and customer expectations move onward.
