Lead nurturing is the process of developing relationships with prospects at every stage of their buying journey. Lead nurturing programs are intended to communicate with each prospect on an individual level. In addition to cold calling, your lead nurturing strategy must involve high-quality campaign personalized and relevant content—emails, direct mail, marketing collateral, blog posts, and more.
You can stay on top of your customers’ minds with multiple touchpoints, and that’s the entire point of a lead nurturing campaign. Not many people will accept an appointment on an intro call, but a large number of people buy in the nurture phase. Taking your prospects through a nurturing phase will ensure that more of them are qualified and ready to buy.
When designing a lead nurturing process or running a lead nurturing campaign, there are things to think about.
Here are the top four things to consider:
Based on various factors, prospects will need to be communicated with at different intervals. Some of these factors include:
Even if your prospects don’t like to be called, this is still an important part of any sales process that shouldn’t be ignored. It is often the only way you can get accurate information from your prospects. You won’t find out from LinkedIn that your prospect just cut ties with their current service provider, but you may find this out from a phone call.
Email marketing is an important part of any marketing strategy, and your nurture program is no exception. Email must be well thought out so that you can stand out from your competitors. This involves having the right sales and marketing professionals working together to craft the right messaging. Our marketing experts write tailored content for sales teams to send out to qualified prospects.
Your business should have, at the very least, a Facebook and LinkedIn profile that stand out from competitors. This can be another way to nurture prospects (connecting with them, sending personalized messaging, posting share-worthy content, etc.). Without social media, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to connect with marketing qualified leads (MQL).
Last but not least, you have to meet your prospect where they’re at, you can’t just hope that one day they answer the phone. You have to be where they are. This is why it’s so important to send out personalized messaging and find out as much information about your prospects as you can.
