Lead generation for financial advisors uses an enquiry form built around life events, such as retirement or an inheritance, and never asks people to type their savings into a website.
What a person writes there tells the advisor more before the first call than any figure would.

The real leak starts when every contact lands in the same calendar, whatever its fit, seriousness or value to the firm.
When the process and the information you need from people are vague, more of them drop out.
An accountant or a lawyer passes on a client with a phone number and no word about the situation.
For financial advisors, before an enquiry reaches a calendar, we check what it is about, how urgent it is and where the person found you, so the person who handles that kind of work sees it first.
People hesitate to type sums of money into a website, and a web form is the wrong place for them anyway.
An advisor spends the day in meetings, so a first call often goes to voicemail, and few callers leave a message about their savings.
Couples rarely decide on the day, and an advisor must not press them.
We follow every way an enquiry arrives today, by phone, form and message, and note where people wait or give up.
We decide what is asked first, who answers which kind of enquiry and how fast. For advisers, we agree which enquiries the firm declines, such as people wanting a single product or a quick tip, and the reply to them is written in advance.
Enquiries land in one list, missed calls get a quick call back and no enquiry is left without a clear next step.
We look at which enquiries became clients, which were lost and why.
We count first meetings by the life event behind them and how many led to a signed agreement, so the firm sees which situations it serves best.
