Wondering if a quiz will work for your business?
The short answer is that it will. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, you should be using quizzes for lead generation. I’ve yet to come across an industry where quizzes don’t work, and trust me, the clients I’ve built quizzes for over the last seven years cover all spectrums.
From hair and beauty, interior design and art memberships to dating services, money mindset coaches and authors, and lots more besides, it works.
But what about your business? Have you tried other lead magnets only to find they aren’t bringing in the right type of leads?
Or perhaps the leads are great but they aren’t converting into paying clients? With a quiz, it’s completely different. Why? Because they aren’t generic and boring, they’re fun, interactive and personalised.
So let’s dive in and discover how you can use a quiz for your business.
Why Do Quizzes Work So Well For Lead Generation?
Quizzes bring in leads on autopilot and allow you to nurture them in a way no other lead magnet can.
No 1 They quench our irresistible thirst for self-knowledge
There’s a certain amount of psychology behind this and it relates to our thirst for self-knowledge. If we see a quiz on Facebook that asks a leading question and tells us to click here to find out the answer, often, if it’s something we want to know, we’ll click. It’s human nature.
So when you use a quiz for your business that asks a question you know your audience has, that’s clickable, that’s where the magic is.
There’s something very powerful about going through a quiz that gives you an outcome that relates to where you’re actually at in your business.
Bottom line, your audience feels seen, heard and understood. That’s a very potent mixture that leads to building that know, like, trust factor with them.
No 2 It’s interactive marketing at its best
Quizzes are interactive. The more interactive the better from your audience’s point of view. We all know that our attention span is short so it’s becoming more and more important to not just get people’s attention but to keep it.
And that’s where quizzes do such a good job. Interactive beats passive hands down every time.
No 3 They allow you to be super specific with your audience
A quiz allows you to be specific. Most of us have a diverse audience all at different stages with different pain points. Trying to speak to all of them is hard.
What other lead magnet lets you impart information that is relevant and specific to the person reading it?
A generic eBook, Guide, cheat sheet etc. can’t do that.
Using a quiz as a lead magnet allows you to get inside the head of your ideal client to a point where they turn around and say, oh my goodness, that’s exactly how I feel. This person actually gets me and understands me.
It’s the difference between buying a ‘one size fits all’ jumpsuit or buying a custom tailored, made-to-measure, one that makes you feel like a million dollars.
No 4 They build your knowledge and allow you to segment
Finally, they give us unparalleled knowledge about our audience. Through our quiz questions, if you structure them properly, you can find out what they struggle with, their fears, their desires, and their hopes.
Everything you need to be able to segment them into different categories based on this information.
This allows you to send them very targeted marketing that speaks directly to them. There is no other lead magnet that can do this.
Where else could you get a lead magnet that does all that? You can’t. It isn’t possible. I know because I’ve tested every lead magnet out there, checklists, cheat sheets, swipe files, eBooks, all of them. There is nothing that converts as well or costs less than a quiz lead magnet.
What Type Of Lead Generation Quiz Should You Build?
There are three different types of quizzes you can use for lead generation:
- A Launch Quiz
- A Sales Quiz
- An Evergreen Quiz
A Launch Quiz
A Launch Quiz allows you to build an email list full of warm, pre-qualified leads all looking for a solution to the problem your new product or service is solving.
Unlike other quizzes the topic of a launch quiz is specific to the course, membership or service you’ll be offering instead of hitting on a more generic pain point of your audience.
It’s interactive and only a micro commitment as far as your lead is concerned so an easy way to create awareness around your launch.
A Sales Quiz
A Sales Quiz helps your ideal client to connect with you much faster giving them lightbulb moments through the knowledge and value the quiz results provide.
Unlike other quizzes, you’ll be offering a low-cost, no-brainer, opportunity to buy from you or learn from you thus bringing them into your ‘paid world‘ much quicker.
Whether you’re selling a book or digital product they get a small glimpse into the solution you provide and begin their customer journey with you straight away.
An Evergreen Quiz
An Evergreen Quiz is the entree to your main course because it identifies their struggle and positions you as the solution.
It scratches an itch whilst evoking curiosity, so much so that they’re willing to hand over their name and email address to get their results.
It sits at the top of your funnel consistently building your email list. And when you’re ready to sell they’ll be ready to listen, hungry to buy what you’re offering, and objections will be a thing of the past.
