      With every click they have to make, more and more users drop out of the conversion process. By making it super easy for users to hit submit on a form, many more people will be coming into the top of your marketing funnel. Keep the procedure so simple that users can finish it within as few clicks as possible. Though these leads may not be the same quality as those who fill out a longer form, you’ll be getting more leads in the door. The in-app conversion allows your content and your advertising review to work harder for you.

   3. Make these leads count with sweet lead nurturing campaigns.
