Whitepaper Free Report

Acquiring new leads is a key component of any business. One effective way to build your database is by offering an incentive of some kind for people who provide you with their contact information. Offer things such as a white paper or industry report. Or try hosting a webinar on a relevant industry topic or give a discount in exchange for contact information. Providing these things not only provides you with new prospects, but it benefits your potential customer and gains you credibility in your industry.

Here is an example of how a Mortgage Broker could use a white paper to automatically increase a list size and drive business:
