How to Create a Lead Capture Form
A Lead Capture form enables prospective students to fill in a simple web form on your website. This form might be a request to schedule a trial class or a form to request more information about your school. When someone fills in the form and submits it, the information they enter is brought into your Kicksite account as a new prospect.
