Weā€™re back with our third episode of Workspace Invaders, featuring the greatĀ @vickioneillĀ ! Youā€™ve probably seen her around the community answering your question and offering tips and tricks based on her marketing and sales experience.Ā 

Ā 

A storytelling approach to lead generation forms

Ā 

Since 2011,Ā @vickioneillĀ Ā has been creatively helping small businesses with their marketing and sales based on her previous experience in corporate America.Ā 

Ā 

When she decided to go full steam ahead with her company in 2018, she needed a lead generation form on her site that would show potential clients her innovative approach to marketing. In collaboration with a storytelling expert, she developed a unique, engaging quiz based on movie titles to generate a story for the respondent filling out the form based on where they saw their business.Ā 

Ā 

As well as being oodles of fun to fill out, Vicki's form providesĀ valuable information about visitors to her site. ThisĀ allows her to send them relevant content based on their business growth stage without asking boring or irrelevant questions. After the respondent fills out the form, theyā€™re sent a fun story about their business with the movie titles filled in and actionable next steps, all thanks to Vickiā€™s ingenious form!

@vickioneillĀ - woohooā€¦Ā !!!

way to go!!

edited after watching: I donā€™t make ā€˜fancy formsā€™ lolā€¦Ā I make ā€˜em as simple,Ā  as i can! honest.. but typically mine revolve around data from assessments and pulling in the responses from the survey population, etc. That lends itself to a different style of reporting.Ā 

I really did like the way that you had all the details in the email notification to the user: that is one thing that people tend to miss out on.Ā 

great job and yes, I would be happy to collaborate with you on anything!! lol

Thanks so much, des!!Ā 

I had so much fun creating this that I had to go back and figure out how to make it ALSO helpful to what I was trying to accomplish. Movies tend to contribute to my SOS (shiny object syndrome lol).Ā 

Collecting data is definitely a priority when launching any quiz/form/survey. I always look for ways to stand out or make a difference. Itā€™s hard to capture peopleā€™s attention!!

A collaboration with you would be AHmazing!! Letā€™s keep that in mind šŸ˜Š

WOOOOW. I was glued to my set watching this, what a genius use of TypeformĀ @vickioneillĀ . I love that not only youā€™re making something fun and engaging to build anĀ audience ā€“ youā€™reĀ feeding your passion for movies at the same time (a bit likeĀ @john.desboroughĀ with his coffee paraphernalia). I can tell that you had a ball making this oneĀ :clapper:

And great jobĀ @LizĀ for hosting this so friendlily (is that a word? Iā€™m not getting a red squiggle so I say yes). It was like watching two pals hanging out, really nice vibeĀ :heart_eyes:Ā  Thanks for sharing with the world!!!

Thanks so much, James!! I had an absolute blast talking with Liz. Sheā€™s SO personable and made the conversation just flow so effortlessly.

It was so much fun to create this form and think through the user experience! It was fun coming up with the MadLibs type story, too.Ā 

Ā 

BTW I didnā€™t get the red squiggle either. But you can claim friendlily as yours. I've never heard it used before so itā€™s all YOU. I wonā€™t tell anyone :)Ā

(Now I'm thinking where I could apply a quiz/workflow like this in my lifeĀ :smile: )
