00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.500
A useful enquiry tells you what someone needs and how to

00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:04.580
reply.

00:00:04.580 --> 00:00:08.100
Let’s build a short partnership form for The Friday Letter, then

00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:10.620
check the complete request in WordPress.

00:00:10.833 --> 00:00:15.673
In Create campaign, choose Collect enquiries, then Enquiry in

00:00:15.713 --> 00:00:16.873
small steps.

00:00:16.993 --> 00:00:20.353
This Free setup asks what someone needs before collecting their

00:00:20.353 --> 00:00:21.513
contact details.

00:00:21.873 --> 00:00:23.593
Use it to create your draft.

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.480
I’ve prepared the page and matching form style.

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.000
Select Interest, then replace the choices with services you actually

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.840
offer: Sponsor an issue, Commission a story, or Something else.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.400
Keep this choice required so each enquiry arrives with a useful

00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:40.400
starting point.

00:00:40.633 --> 00:00:45.393
On Contact details, keep email required and the name optional.

00:00:45.393 --> 00:00:49.033
Explain that these details are for replying to the enquiry, not

00:00:49.033 --> 00:00:50.593
newsletter signup.

00:00:50.593 --> 00:00:54.113
Check the acknowledgement too: it should confirm receipt without

00:00:54.113 --> 00:00:57.553
promising a booking or a reply that has already been sent.

00:00:57.767 --> 00:01:01.527
In Preview, try Continue without choosing a topic.

00:01:01.527 --> 00:01:03.767
The form should ask for an answer.

00:01:03.767 --> 00:01:08.087
Now choose Sponsor an issue and continue to contact details.

00:01:08.087 --> 00:01:10.807
This is a rehearsal, so it does not save a real

00:01:10.807 --> 00:01:11.727
enquiry.

00:01:11.727 --> 00:01:13.807
We’ll test the published page next.

00:01:14.033 --> 00:01:18.273
Keep this example in WConvert only, so you can review requests

00:01:18.273 --> 00:01:21.433
in Leads without sending email automatically.

00:01:21.473 --> 00:01:25.633
Review the selected page, fields and privacy information, then

00:01:25.633 --> 00:01:27.233
publish the campaign.

00:01:27.233 --> 00:01:30.513
Manual inline placement still needs its WordPress block on the

00:01:30.513 --> 00:01:31.273
page.

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:35.380
On our prepared Work with us page, I’ve added a WConvert

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:36.740
campaign block.

00:01:36.740 --> 00:01:39.940
Search for the published enquiry and select its result.

00:01:40.020 --> 00:01:41.820
Then publish the page too.

00:01:41.820 --> 00:01:45.340
The page rule allows the form here; this block decides where

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:46.180
it sits.

00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.280
On the published page, imagine you’re a brand interested in sponsoring

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.160
an issue.

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.640
Choose that topic, then continue.

00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.680
Add a name and a test email address, and read how

00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.360
the details will be used.

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.920
Send the enquiry and check the acknowledgement.

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.080
This is a real submission; now we need to find the

00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:05.240
saved request.

00:02:05.467 --> 00:02:09.267
In Leads, I’ve filtered to Enquiries and this campaign.

00:02:09.387 --> 00:02:12.067
Search for the test email and open the submission.

00:02:12.427 --> 00:02:16.267
Here are Alex’s contact details, the selected interest, and the

00:02:16.267 --> 00:02:17.427
source campaign.

00:02:17.547 --> 00:02:22.267
Consent says Not asked: this form collects an enquiry, not a

00:02:22.267 --> 00:02:23.907
newsletter subscription.

00:02:23.907 --> 00:02:27.307
The request is saved in WordPress; review it and follow up

00:02:27.307 --> 00:02:28.867
with the person separately.

00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:33.020
You have a useful enquiry, with the details needed to reply.

00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:36.540
Check new requests regularly and agree the next step with the

00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:37.140
sender.

00:02:37.420 --> 00:02:41.220
Keep newsletter signup separate, and test your form on a phone

00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:42.340
before launch.
