Your Contact Page Is Not a Polite Form – It’s a Growth Filter

Most contact pages exist because someone felt they should.

They say things like:
“Get in touch.”
“We’d love to hear from you.”
“Fill in the form below.”

From a growth-first perspective, that’s a missed opportunity. You’re leaving money on the table.

A contact page is not there to invite conversation.
It’s there to control it.

This short exercise will help you turn your contact page into a growth lever instead of a time sink.

The Growth-First Objective of a Contact Page

🎯 Move the right person to the right next step.

That’s it.

Not more enquiries.
Not faster replies.
Not sounding friendly.

A good contact page:

• progresses good-fit prospects
• filters out poor-fit ones
• sets expectations before you ever speak

If everyone feels welcome, growth usually slows.

Mini Coaching Exercise

⏱ 10 minutes. No tools needed.

Work through this in order. Don’t overthink it.

Step 1. Define the one outcome

🧠 Ask yourself:
“What do I actually want to happen when someone lands here?”

Examples:

• book a discovery call
• apply to work with me
• complete a scorecard
• request a proposal

If you have more than one primary outcome, stop here.
That’s your first problem.

Write the one action at the top of the page.

Step 2. Add context before contact

🧭 Before any form or button, answer this silently for the reader:

“Why would I contact you, and what happens next?”

One short paragraph is enough.

If someone arrives cold and can’t answer those two questions in five seconds, expect low-quality leads.

Step 3. Build in qualification

🚦 A contact page should do some of the work for you.

Add friction on purpose.

This can be:

• a problem-led question
• a scale or budget signal
• a short explanation of who this is for

If filling in your form takes no effort, it invites the wrong people.

Effort filters. That’s healthy.

Step 4. Set expectations clearly

⏱ Tell them what happens after they click.

Examples:

• “I review every submission personally”
• “I’ll reply within 48 hours”
• “If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you”

This builds trust and protects your time.

It also gives you permission to say no without guilt.

Step 5. Reassure, don’t persuade

🧲 If someone reaches your contact page, belief is mostly formed already.

You don’t need a sales pitch here.

One quiet signal is enough:

• a short credibility line
• a recognisable client name
• a single sentence testimonial

If you’re trying to convince at this stage, something earlier is broken.

What to Remove Immediately

🚫 These actively hurt growth:

• multiple CTAs fighting each other
• a blank “get in touch” form with no framing
• phone numbers inviting unfiltered interruptions
• language that suggests you’re available to everyone

Busy founders don’t need more conversations.
They need better ones.

The One-Question Test

🧠 Ask this honestly:

“If the wrong person fills this in, whose fault is that?”

If the answer is “the visitor”, your page is doing its job.
If the answer is “the page”, you’ve found a growth bottleneck.

Why This Matters

This single page quietly affects:

• lead quality
• sales confidence
• time pressure
• decision fatigue

Inside Growth Club, we take exercises like this and go deeper.

Not just pages.
But offers, qualification, sales flow, and systems that stop growth living in your head.

This is the kind of thinking we apply every week.
Small changes. Clear intent. Measurable impact.

Grow Smart. Sleep well.
