Techopedia explains Lead Generation

Lead generation primarily enables organizations to acquire leads for their products or services. These leads can either be users that have signed up for a free trial of a product or opted in to blog updates or newsletters. Typically, the lead generation process is automated through a CRM or marketing automation software. Leads are usually captured through a lead form embedded in the website, blog or application that collects data such as name, email and/or phone number of the user and stores it in the CRM, database or marketing application.
