I got asked this question today and thought everyone would benefit from learning this critical lead gen tidbit.
A tripwire refers to the digital action item your audience took to become a lead. Here are some examples:
- If they can fill out their information on your webpage, they have now entered your world. The webpage was a tripwire.
- If they can download your ebook, the place they download it is the tripwire.
- When you make a post and make an offer, the post was the tripwire.
In short, The Tripwire is: The action that takes people and turns them from audience to lead.
