&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m sure as a small business you&amp;rsquo;re always looking for more ways to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;increase your sales&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;, which means you need an easy (and efficient) way to fill your sales pipeline with qualified leads. This is why we&amp;rsquo;re excited to tell you about the Method Web to Lead App &amp;mdash; a simple, effortless way to collect sales leads online.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:20px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;eb to Lead App allows&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;to create web forms to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;collect information on prospective customers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and have the information saved in Method:CRM. The most popular use of web to lead forms is for generating sales leads through a &amp;lsquo;Contact Us&amp;rsquo; page on a website. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;How Does it Work?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;When the web to lead form is filled out, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;information is automatically saved&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in your Method:CRM account and your staff are notified of the new lead, which ensures potential business doesn&amp;rsquo;t slip through the cracks, and every lead receives your attention in a timely manner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Web to Lead App helps&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;grow your sales by increasing the number of qualified leads&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;your team can connect with each month. A web to lead form lets you take advantage of business opportunities by giving potential customers a way to put up their hand and let you know they&amp;rsquo;re interested in your product or service. &amp;nbsp;Without a web to lead form&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;you&amp;rsquo;re losing out on potential business&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;And because your team is immediately notified when someone fills out your web to lead form, your team can also&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;close more sales&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;. A&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://blog.kissmetrics.com/dont-lose-saas-sales/"&gt;&lt;span&gt;study&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;found that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;companies who contacted leads within an hour&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;were&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;60 times more likely to qualify leads&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;than companies that took 24 hours or more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="color:#333333;font-family:Georgia, &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Bitstream Charter&amp;#39;, Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="https://blog.method.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/web-2-lead_v3-1.png" style="line-height:24px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-align:center;width:325px;height:325px;float:right;margin-left:20px;margin-right:20px;" /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

You no longer have to start your day sorting your company email inbox and manually documenting leads in spreadsheets. With web to lead forms, everything is in one place. Your leads and opportunities are automatically created, follow-up activities are automatically assigned, and your time can be better spent on more productive tasks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
