Would You Rather questions work because they invite members to make a choice between two equally interesting or challenging scenarios. This playful format lowers the barrier to participation since there is no right or wrong answer, making it easy for even shy members to join in. The hypothetical nature of the questions encourages creativity and allows members to reveal their preferences, priorities, and problem-solving styles in a safe environment.
For lead generation communities, these prompts can gently surface insights about members' workflows, goals, and pain points. They also create fun, relatable moments that increase connection and community trust—essential ingredients for long-term engagement and conversion. By prompting members to explain their reasoning, these posts stimulate deeper discussion and foster a sense of belonging.

To use these templates, simply copy and paste a prompt into your community platform of choice. Post them as standalone discussions, icebreakers, or conversation starters during community events. Encourage members to share their reasoning and tag friends or colleagues for added reach. For best results, schedule a new Would You Rather post weekly or biweekly to keep engagement steady and predictable.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, adapt the format to fit your space. On forums and Slack, post as threads and pin for visibility. On Facebook or LinkedIn, use engaging visuals or emojis. For chat groups, keep prompts concise and follow up with quick replies to boost momentum.
Focus on scenarios that sales professionals routinely encounter, such as choosing between following up with a warm lead that has low budget versus a cold lead from a high-value account. Tailor your questions to reflect real-world SDR or BDR decision points, like prioritizing inbound leads with incomplete data over outbound prospects showing high engagement.
Absolutely. Contrasting popular lead sources like paid advertising, organic search, or referral programs in your 'Would You Rather' questions can stimulate valuable debates within your community. This not only increases engagement but also encourages members to share insights and success stories about their own lead generation strategies.
Yes. Including KPIs such as cost per lead (CPL), conversion rate, or lead velocity in your prompts (e.g., 'Would you rather generate 100 leads at a $10 CPL or 50 leads at a $5 CPL?') makes the discussion more actionable for members who focus on analytics and optimization. This helps facilitate knowledge sharing around measurement and ROI in lead generation.
Frame questions around the classic trade-off between nurturing leads long-term or focusing on quick wins (e.g., 'Would you rather invest in a 6-month nurture sequence for higher lifetime value or push for immediate conversion with aggressive CTAs?'). This encourages your community to share their experience balancing short-term sales goals with sustainable pipeline growth.
Yes. Structure questions that compare the pros and cons of using marketing automation platforms (like HubSpot or Marketo) against manual prospecting methods (such as personalized LinkedIn messaging). This can lead to valuable discussions about efficiency, personalization, and the best-fit strategies for different business models.
Create prompts that force a choice between B2B-specific and B2C-specific lead gen practices (e.g., 'Would you rather host a B2B webinar for enterprise leads or run a B2C social media contest for volume?'). This helps highlight unique approaches, challenges, and solutions relevant to each segment, fostering targeted advice sharing among members.
