\"\"In the study, The Science of Lead Generation from HubSpot<\/a>, that examined the correlation between conversion rates for lead generation websites and the amount of fields in a lead generation form reveled that the sweet spot for the highest conversion rate is 3 fields of information. The optimal range is between 3 and 5 fields according to the study, but once a lead gen form goes beyond 5 fields to fill out the conversion rate plummets. Any time a conversion action is the goal of a website, landing page or squeeze page it’s a balance between how much friction there is on a page and the motivation of the visitor. What I mean by friction are the emotional stumbling blocks that trip a switch in the prospects mind that causes them to stop and evaluate if it’s worth it to continue and convert.
