How To Easily Add A Form Or Application On Your Website
As a business owner, one thing that makes going on vacation easier is having automated systems in place. Today I want to share one of my favorite free online tools for adding a form to your website.
Why might you want to add a form to your website?
Do you ask potential clients to fill out a form/questionnaire before doing an initial consultation (aka strategy session or health history)? Having potential clients complete a form like this is very helpful because it provides with you background information so you can determine if this client is a good fit for you. This also translates into less time in the initial consultation.
Providing a form on your website is a great way to go because you don’t have to worry about your client downloading a document and emailing it back to you. They simply type their answers into the fields and click submit. I love how streamlined it makes the process.
My favorite free tool for adding forms to your website is Google Forms because:
- it is free
- you can easily embed the form onto your site, which means they stay on your site and your branding is consistent
- you receive an email (with responses) each time someone submits the form, and…
My favorite feature is that you can have all the responses populate in a Google doc spreadsheet.
You can add information to that spreadsheet such as:
- whether they have scheduled the initial consultation
- notes from the initial consultation
- whether they signed up to work with you
- when you will follow-up with them
This makes it very easy for you to track your prospects that visit your website.
