Selling Cybersecurity Solutions? Here’s a simple idea for Lead Generation

If you’re selling a cybersecurity solution and looking to generate leads, one method is to ask prospects to fill out a questionnaire to help qualify the requirement.

Questionnaires are a very powerful tool – they help the buyer (and seller) find out of they need the product or not, clarifying succinctly whether the solution on offer is right for them.
