Lead generation is a digital marketing tactic used to create interest in your product or service and establish a pipeline for sales. With lead generation, the focus is on conversions. Lead generation involves the collection of prospective customer contact info, such as a name and email, and these prospectives can then be reached out to via email marketing, the creation of product videos, whitepapers, and much more.

Lead generation is the use of marketing techniques and actions to obtain potential customers’ contact details. Websites and digital marketing are major sources of lead generation.

The lead generation term is mainly used in B2B marketing but it also applies to BtoC activities. Lead generation is particularly important for B2B marketing because purchase cycles and decision processes are long and complex. A BtoB lead must be "worked" on for weeks or months to become a customer.

Leads are more or less qualified. A simple email address from a newsletter subscription is not qualified and not always considered as a real sales lead. On the other hand, a website visitor who completes a webform to obtain a white paper can be considered as a qualified lead.

On the Internet, webforms associated with content marketing are usually the main means to collect and qualify leads. Thus, white papers, webinars and case studies are usually used to obtain leads.
