Frequently Asked Questions
What fields should a B2B contact form have?
Name, work email, company, an inquiry-type select, and the message. Five fields, one of which — the type select — does the invisible work of routing. Resist collecting firmographics here; you can enrich from the email domain, and the message body reveals more than any dropdown would.
How is a contact form different from a lead generation form?
A lead form serves one intent — buying interest — and qualifies it hard. A contact form serves every intent and its job is sorting, not qualifying. Trying to make one form do both jobs either scares off partners and press or under-qualifies buyers; run both and link between them.
Should I put an email address on my website instead of a form?
The form wins for a working company. A raw address gets scraped into spam lists within weeks, gives you no routing and no structure, and tells you nothing about volume by type. Offer the form as the default and reserve direct addresses for existing relationships.
How fast should a company respond to contact form messages?
Set SLAs by inquiry type: sales within a few business hours, partnerships within two days, everything else within three. Publishing the expectation on the confirmation screen ('sales inquiries hear back same day') buys patience from everyone else and pressure-tests your own process.
