What does Consumer Duty mean for lead generation?

Quick answer

What does Consumer Duty mean for lead generation?

Leads must be matched to products that deliver good outcomes for them - meaning lead forms, qualification and routing must filter out poor-fit enquiries rather than pushing volume.

Lead gen implications

- Qualification must assess suitability, not just intent - Route poor-fit leads to better options (education, alternative provider, no-action) - Document the decision-making logic - Outcome-monitor: do leads from this channel become clients who benefit?

Practical

Add a "not a fit" disposition that educates and releases the lead cleanly.
