LinkedIn has now introduced the CTA (call to action) feature that will enable the marketers to get leads from people who read the paid content they offer on the site, The LinkedIn lead generation forms is the latest offering by the professional social networking website. When a user clicks on the sponsored post and is interested to know further about the offering then the LinkedIn profile will be automatically presented in the shape of a form which can be instantly submitted.

“Given that 80 percent of member engagement with Sponsored Content happens on smartphones, we are confident that a mobile-first approach to Lead Gen Forms will offer advertisers the best results,” according to a group product manager at LinkedIn .
Once the users submit the form the advertisers can show an in-app page of thanks that leads the people to the website or the content. These forms eliminate the major obstacles faced in conversions that is the reliance on users for the filling out of forms. It becomes even more difficult on mobile devices due to which the advertisers face low rate of form submission.
