A form with nine fields when three would convert better
Long forms are one of the most consistent conversion killers in professional services and B2B lead generation. A form asking for company name, phone, email, website, budget range, project timeline, service category, message, and referral source before any relationship has been established creates friction at the exact point where a visitor is deciding whether to act. Australian B2B buyers in particular are cautious about committing information to an unknown supplier. Shorter forms with a clear reason to submit consistently outperform longer ones.
