This article was updated on August 6th, 2020 at 05:57 am

Generation of new sales leads is the key to success for any business. No wonder then that the data published by Bright TALK in their report on B2B Lead Generation says that 53% of marketers allot more than half of their budget to lead generation.

Bloggers, small or large business and even hobbyists are increasingly using online marketing tools and techniques to grow their audience base and convert their website visitors into subscribers and customers.

Lead generation is achieved when a visitor either requests for more information or signs up for a service. For this, they usually need to enter their contact details on the website, information that can later be used by the business for its marketing campaigns. But, for this, you will need to a contact form that a visitor can easily fill. And, this is possible through a WordPress plugin.

Here are the top 10 plugins that I believe are immensely helpful for lead generation to drive sales.
