What is the HubSpot Form Tool?

This is what HubSpot say about their form tool.

Build custom forms that connect to your contacts database. Easily create custom forms in seconds, and start converting anonymous visitors into qualified leads. Just drag and drop the questions you want to ask right into place – no technical expertise necessary. Create custom fields, or select from a dozen different field types such as open text fields, dropdowns menus, radio select buttons, check boxes, and more. Then add your form to any HubSpot landing page, or embed it on to any external website.

Having the form tool optimised will ensure that you are harvesting critical data that you can use to nurture your prospects and convert them into customers.

Surprisingly, there is a strong belief that you only should be considering four forms for your automated sales and marketing platform. One is the contact us form. Everybody has and needs a contact us form. But what are the other three? Then three other forms that match the stage of your data in your sales funnel. Top of Funnel, Middle of Funnel and Bottom of the funnel are powerful concepts. (TOFU, MOFU, BOFU) Click here to discover more about TOFU, MOFU and BOFU.

Each stage should have their separate forms. Progressive polling is a vital part of the HubSpot pro and enterprise solutions that allow you to harvest more data from your prospect every time they fill out a form. This is a fundamental difference in the power of digital marketing by comparison to traditional marketing.

If HubSpot recognises the user's cookie, previously captured fields are replaced by new more qualifying questions.

Each time a form is submitted progressive polling represents new fields encouraging your prospect to contribute data that helps you understand more about them The more your sales prospect trust you, the greater the amount of data you can progressively harvest from them.
