Lead generation refers to all the activities that drive a person to express interest in your product or service. This might happen when someone downloads a guide, signs up for a webinar, or enters a giveaway — essentially any action that requires them to share their email or phone number.

Successful lead generation strategies focus on offering value in exchange for that contact. This could be educational content, exclusive discounts, or access to a resource — something your target audience finds useful enough to opt-in.
