Lead generation has changed drastically over the last few years. The standard PDF lead magnet of old no longer cuts it. Where it used to be read cover to cover and eagerly devoured it now sits gathering virtual dust on desktops.
Why?
Because our audiences have become very savvy when it comes to online marketing. Itโs almost harder to give them something for free than it is to sell them something.
Theyโve become wise to the so-called amazing Ebooks, Cheatsheets, and Guides that all promise you something wonderful but leave you with nothing more than some fluffy information you could have googled for yourself.
But fear not because there is a new kid in town. One that gives insane value and actually teaches you something whilst being incredibly specific in the information it imparts.
Iโm talking about the Quiz Funnelโฆand yes itโs an entire marketing funnel and not just a lead magnet.
This is a full strategy that gives you the power of specificity, the ability to send targeted emails to your audience, and one that truly nurtures your leads.
And thatโs not all.
Attention spans are short, so you need to get peopleโs attention AND keep it. Thatโs where quizzes do such a good job. Interactive content beats passive PDFs, hands down, every time.
Most of us have a diverse audience at different stages and trying to speak to all of them is hard. A quiz funnel allows you to impart information that is relevant and specific to the person reading it.
It gives you that opportunity to get inside the head of your ideal client to a point where they turn around and say, oh my goodness, thatโs exactly how I feel. This person actually gets me and understands me.
Itโs the difference between buying a โone size fits allโ outfit when you could buy a custom-tailored, made-to-measure, one that makes you feel like a million dollars.
As humans, we have a thirst for self-knowledge. When your quiz asks a question you know your audience has, that they want to know the answer to, lead generation magic is created.
A well-constructed quiz will give your audience value, actionable steps, and a quick win thatโs relevant to them and their challenge.
According to BuzzSumo, 82% of users will complete a quiz if they see it on social.
Through your quiz questions, youโll learn what your audience struggles with, their fears, their desires, and their hopes allowing you to send them very targeted marketing that speaks to them directly.
Itโs the power of specificity. No longer do you have to send generic emails that talk to every pain point your audience has. Instead, you can meet them exactly where theyโre at in their journey.
Your quiz is about driving traffic and not conversion, so the cost of your Facebook Ads is so much lower compared to webinar ads, video ads, or any type of lead magnet ads. Often as low as just 10 cents per lead.
A quiz is so much more than something you take in your lunch break to pass the time. It has the power to drive incredibly targeted traffic to your website and ultimately onto your list, day in and day out. Itโs list-building on steroids.
There is no other lead magnet that lets you learn about your audience at the same time as your audience learning something from you.
Your quiz questions, when done right, let you discover information about your ideal client which in turn allows you to embrace the power of specificity we talked about earlier.
Using the answers you receive to those questions you can segment your leads so generic marketing becomes a thing of the past.
The outcomes of your quiz and the results people receive are where your power lies.
When you write quiz results, how well you understand the natural wiring of each audience member matters. How can you weave in their attributes, personality traits, challenges, motivations, goals, and quirks?
And remember, as with all lead magnets your quiz isnโt trying to save the world. Youโre simply helping them to identify areas of weakness, which their quiz results show, and provide a solution that allows them to take action but not the whole, complete solution.
That whole solution is your paid product or service. What youโre giving them here is just a twinkling of what you have.
They say people have to experience your brand at least 8 times before being ready to buy.
A well-designed quiz, that takes you on a journey and lets you fast track that number by showing up consistently in their Inbox allowing them to build a personal and emotional connection with you.
Pro Tip
Quizzes efficiently attract prime prospects and draw them into mid-funnel tactics that build know, like, and trust.
First up is the Evergreen Quiz, which is your main lead magnet, consistently driving traffic to your email list. It attracts, targets, and nurtures the leads entering your world, so when youโre ready to sell, theyโll be ready to listen and hungry to buy what youโre offering, and objections will be a thing of the past.
Then we have the Launch Quiz, which allows you to build an email list full of warm, pre-qualified leads who are all looking for a solution to the problem your new product or service solves.
Unlike other quizzes, a launch quiz’s topic is specific to the course, membership, or service youโll be offering instead of hitting on a more generic pain point of your audience.
And finally, we have the Sales Quiz. Unlike an Evergreen or Launch quiz, you’ll offer a low-cost, no-brainer opportunity to buy or learn from you immediately.
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.
But there is one more quiz to add to the mix that I havenโt mentioned yet, and thatโs an assessment-style quiz. Itโs usually offered as part of a bigger strategy, along with the Evergreen Quiz as a two-pronged approach, which weโll cover further down.
Let me introduce you to Josh Elledge, a syndicated TV consumer expert & newspaper columnist who now helps consultants, coaches, and agencies build 7-figure B2B Sales Systems (with zero paid advertising).
Josh wanted a quiz to help build his email list and segment his audience so he could tailor his offer to meet their needs.
He knew he was leaving money on the table as far as his leads were concerned, and this was something he wanted to change.
When we chatted, it became clear that all of Joshโs clients had the same problem: getting in front of more of their dream clients. Lead generation was the common denominator between all of them, so thatโs where we started.
After brainstorming a variety of phrases and buzzwords, we decided on the quiz title, โWhat is Your #1 Lead Generation Blocker?โ
We then broke this down into four problem areas:
These became our four Quiz Outcomes and depending on how someone answered the quiz questions determined which of the outcomes was more relevant or was the most dominant.
The quiz results pages, one for each outcome, then give the quiz taker some great insight into their lead blocker. Each page is unique to that blocker and shows them whatโs possible, giving them some actionable steps they can take straight away to start making a difference.
But we didnโt stop there as this is only the first part of the strategy.
As a teaser at the end of the quiz results pages, we remind them that a PERSONALIZED REPORT explaining their Unique Results will be hitting their Inbox in about 5 minutes. (Which is also a great place to tell them to check their Junk Mail if they havenโt received it.)
Now theyโre primed and ready to start receiving and reading Joshโs emails.
And donโt forget, all that juicy information we gathered from the quiz is mapped across into Joshโs CRM so he can start to send very specific and targeted emails as part of the Quiz Nurture Campaign.
This starts building the know, like & trust factor creating an emotional connection and bringing them a step further in their journey with Josh.
But weโre not finished yet.
With any type of lead magnet, you create there should always be a CTA (Call To Action) that takes them to the next stage.
In this case, itโs a Masterclass Video Series Josh created to help them overcome their lead generation blocker by showing them how, over the next 4 months, they can create unlimited conversations with their dream customers.
His promise through this masterclass series is to get them more big-ticket sales, consistent and predictable cash flow, more speaking and media invites, and even more partnerships with amazing centers of influence all with zero paid ads.
And then we hit them with the final part of the strategy, our assessment quiz, or as we called it for Joshโs quiz funnel, The Success Predictor.
This is a pre-qualifier quiz that sits at the bottom of the funnel, unlike the lead blocker quiz, which sits at the top of the funnel. Its sole purpose is to segment them into an offer relevant to their business and aligned with their investment ability.
At the end of the Masterclass Series, Josh invites viewers to take the Success Predictor. This gives them a score and customized action plan for moving forward in their journey to get more of their dream clients.
It also tells Josh in the backend of the system if he needs to book a call, send an automated email, or create a personalized video making sure he is using his time wisely with pre-qualified hot leads who are ready for the level of service he is offering.
This is a complete top to bottom fully fleshed-out Quiz Funnel that converts like crazy. It’s early days but so far the quiz has had a 54.8% conversion rate as opposed to the average PDF lead magnet email opt-in rate of only 1.95%.
