Lead Magnet: definition 

Let's picture the thing.

A lead magnet is a gift that a company offers to its visitors in exchange for valuable data: their information

Once this information (last name, first name, email address) is shared, it helps the company keep you on their radar and send you content that really interests you.

Sales managers use this information to offer you exactly what you need and support you until the purchase, this is what we call conversion.

So you leave with your gift and the company has just generated a qualified lead. Who says better ? ✨
