See how the Form CRO skill responds to actual requests. These are representative examples of what your AI agent will produce.
Our demo request form has a 23% completion rate — meaning 77% of people who start filling it out abandon it. The form has 8 fields: name, company, email, phone, company size, role, use case, and 'how did you hear about us'. What should I cut and how do I restructure it?
A 23% completion rate on an 8-field demo form is about right — that form is asking for too much, too early. Industry benchmark for demo request forms is 35–45% completion. Here's the fix:
Fields to cut immediately:
- Phone — the #1 form abandonment trigger for B2B SaaS. Remove unless your sales team genuinely cold-calls from it (they shouldn't)
- "How did you hear about us" — valuable for attribution but collect this after the demo, not as a barrier to booking one
- Use case — replace with a dropdown in the post-form qualification step
Minimum viable demo form (4 fields):
- First name
- Work email
- Company name
- Team size (dropdown: 1–10 / 11–50 / 51–200 / 200+)
Why work email instead of email: Labeling it "work email" increases form completion and automatically filters personal addresses — which means cleaner leads for sales.
What to add instead of cutting:
- Inline validation — show green checkmarks as fields complete, not red errors after submit
- Progress signal — "Takes 60 seconds" near the submit button reduces abandonment
- Social proof near the form — "Join 500+ engineering teams" with logos
Alternative: 2-step form Step 1: Just email. Step 2: Remaining 3 fields. This approach captures partial completions (email is the valuable field) and typically increases full completion rate by 20–30% over single-step.
Expected outcome: Moving from 8 to 4 fields typically increases completion rate from ~23% to 45–55%.
Get Started
How to install and use this skill in your preferred environment.
Skills are designed for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) and IDE-based workflows where the agent can read files, run scripts, and act on your codebase. Web-based AI can use the knowledge and frameworks, but won't have tool access.
