White Paper, an educational resource is considered one of the most efficient B2B lead generation tools and can have a powerful influence on the ROI of your marketing strategy.

They often turn into a list development exercise where contact information is gathered from prospects, but prospects retain little from the interaction and more often than not have no recollection of the white paper on follow up inside sales calls. A good white paper helps to:
- Inform and engage prospects and builds brands
- Fill your sales pipeline with warm qualified leads
- Improves traffic to your website
- Capture intent data (digital footprints)
- Convert interest into sales action

Always create white paper with a clear call-to-action. Give your audience a clear route to follow and reach you. Put your company’s contact information on every whitepaper page as a part of the standard header or footer format. Don’t assume they will scan to the first or last page to contact you.

Registration form – Minimum question
More questions you ask on your registration form, fewer the downloads you are likely to get.
