Lead Forms vs Questionnaires – What's the Difference?

Not sure when to use a Lead Form vs a Questionnaire? You're not alone! While they may look similar, they serve very different purposes on That's The One. Here's a simple breakdown to help you use the right tool at the right time.

📋 What is a Lead Form?

A Lead Form is designed for potential clients - people who haven't booked with you yet.

  • You share the Lead Form link externally via email, your website, or social media

  • Anyone with the link can fill it in — no TTO account needed

  • Once submitted, their details are automatically saved to your Leads Pipeline

  • From there, you can follow up, track their status, and move them through your sales process

💡 Think of it as your first point of contact - it brings potential clients into your world.

📝 What is a Questionnaire?

A Questionnaire is designed for existing clients - people who are already part of your TTO workspace.

  • You send it directly to clients who have already been added to an event

  • Used to collect detailed event information - dietary requirements, song requests, travel details, and more

  • Responses are saved directly against their event for easy reference

💡 Think of it as your planning tool - it helps you gather everything you need once someone is booked in.

🔄 How Do They Work Together?

The two features complement each other perfectly. Here's the ideal workflow:

  1. Send a Lead Form to a potential client to capture their initial enquiry

  2. Once they're in your Leads Pipeline, attach a Questionnaire to gather more specific details

  3. When they book, their information is already organised and ready to go

💡 Pro Tip: Always send the Lead Form first before jumping on a call. That way, you'll already have their key details - dates, venue, guest count, and vision — making the conversation far more productive and personalised.
