Engaging User Experience: Why XPRT Beats Traditional Forms
User experience matters. When potential clients interact with your lead qualification process, their experience directly impacts completion rates, data quality, and ultimately, your conversion rates. XPRT’s engaging wizard experience transforms the mundane task of filling out forms into an interactive, guided journey that feels professional and engaging, resulting in higher completion rates and better outcomes.
The Problem with Traditional Forms
Traditional forms have been the standard for lead capture for decades, but they come with significant limitations:
Common Form Problems
1. Low Completion Rates
According to Formstack Research, the average form abandonment rate is 67%. Common reasons include:
- Forms feel overwhelming (too many fields at once)
- Unclear what information is needed
- No progress indication
- Feels like work, not engagement
- Mobile experience is poor
2. Poor User Experience
Traditional forms provide a poor user experience:
- Static and Boring: Just fields on a page
- No Guidance: Users don’t know what to expect
- No Progress: Users don’t know how much is left
- Generic Feel: Doesn’t feel personalized or engaging
- Mobile Unfriendly: Often difficult on mobile devices
3. Incomplete Information
Even when forms are completed, information is often incomplete:
- Users skip fields they don’t understand
- Required fields are left blank
- Information quality is inconsistent
- Missing context or details
4. Low Engagement
Traditional forms don’t engage users:
- No interaction or feedback
- Feels like a chore
- No sense of progress or accomplishment
- Generic, impersonal experience
