How to Qualify Leads with Interact Quiz Builder

Updated Feb 25, 2022
Interact Quiz Builder for Generating Leads

I don’t know about you, but I spend a loooot of time on the phone with sales prospects. 

What if instead of fielding every inquiry for your business, you could make sure that the people who get in contact with you are a good fit before you get on the phone

Well, m’friends, that’s what this app tutorial is all about. I’ve recently had the pleasure of discovering an app called Interact — and it makes quiz building super easy. While this isn't a full Interact quiz review, I wanted to share my first impressions.

Interact also integrates with virtually every popular email marketing software, and when combined you can automatically send follow-up emails to your prospects based on their quiz results (or redirect them elsewhere if they're not a good fit). 

The tools you need:

  1. Interact
  2. Your Favorite Email Service Provider (if you don’t have one yet, check out ActiveCampaign, it’s our preferred email automation software!) 

I talk with a lot of people who know they need a website but don't know what platform they should use. Usually they’re checking out a platform like Leadpages, Squarespace, Shopify, or Wordpress because they ran into some sweet marketing material that sold them on that particular platform.

Pro tip: at the end of the day, what you use to build your website doesn’t matter. It’s a marketing tool for your business, so you should simply use whichever software helps you reach your goals.

With that said, website needs do vary from business to business. A blog website usually needs different features than an online shop for a brick and mortar store. 

When I’m on the phone with a prospective client, I have a series of questions that I’ll ask to help them find the right platform for their business. They tend to be the same questions every time, so why not make it an online quiz to speed up the process?

Step 1: Start at the End of Your Quiz And Work Backwards.

☑️ Outline your quiz results

This approach might seem counterintuitive at first, but trust me, it's a lot easier this way. 

For my quiz, I know that just about everybody is going to be happy with one of the four major website platforms that I'm familiar with, which are...

  • Wordpress
  • Squarespace
  • Shopify
  • Leadpages

☑️ Outline your questions

Now that I know where people will end up, I can map out the questions that will help suss out which platform is best for them. I've been asking these questions for a while now, and they are...

  • What is it that you do?
  • Why do you want a website?
  • What do you want your website to do for you?
  • Will your website need custom functionality?
  • Who will take care of your website post-launch?
  • What's your budget?

That's it, honestly -- it's pretty easy to pick out the best platform by answering those questions.

Pro tip: when you're creating a quiz, make sure that the questions you ask have a point. A good length for how long it takes for someone to take a quiz from start-to-finish is about 2 minutes, which usually means around 5 - 7 questions total. 

Step 2: Build Out the Quiz in Interact.

☑️ Create your first quiz

If you haven't yet, make sure to sign up for a free Interact trial. Once you're at the main dashboard, hit the big ol' Create New Quiz button.

Use the Create New Quiz button

☑️ Choose your template (or don’t)

In this case, we're going to hit Create From Scratch, but when you're creating your first couple of quizzes Interact has some sick templates to get you up and running.

In this example, we're going to Create From Scratch

☑️ Show some personality

Next choose Personality for the type of quiz we're making. 

In this example, we're making a Personality quiz.

☑️ Add your style

Now it's time to add in the results our quiz-takers will see, as well as give them some options to take based on their results.

Since our team designs Leadpages websites, of course I want to give them an option to get in contact with me!

Style the quiz to match your brand.

☑️ Add your questions

If we've followed all of the steps up until now, the rest should be easy. All we need to do is fill in our questions, and then Edit Result Correlations -- which just means choosing which answers give a +1 to a specific quiz result. At the end of the quiz, all of those +1's are tallied up and the quiz taker gets the result that matches most closely. 

☑️ Automate it

The final step in building out your quiz is to connect your favorite email service provider. The instructions are a little different for each one, but thankfully Interact has really clear walkthroughs for all of their native integrations.

Step 3: Add the quiz to your website.

Now it's time to set this live! To do that, hit the Publish button in the top bar. From there, you'll be asked how you'd like to embed your quiz with instructions for each method.

Check out the quiz I built below!

I’m using this quiz specifically to qualify website prospects, but you could also create a more general quiz on your “Work With Me / Contact Us” page that helps people get an idea of the right service for them.
