What is lead nurturing?
Lead nurturing is a continuing process of cultivating relationships with prospects throughout the sales cycle.
In the past – and still today at many companies – new sales leads were released to the sales department immediately after the leads came through the door.
From there, individual reps would be responsible for lead qualification and follow-up – and would often complain about the quality of the lead.
But today’s technology offers a whole new set of tools that gives marketing the ability to hold onto the leads longer and manage lead follow-up until the lead is sales-ready.
Eventually, the leads are still handed off to sales, but only after they have been qualified and nurtured.
How are leads nurtured
Lead nurturing can be delivered in several ways:
- by phone
- by mail
- by email
Prospects are typically invited to engage with various informational resources, including:
- white papers
- articles
- seminars
- webinars
- videos
- podcasts
Types of lead nurturing programs
Lead nurturing programs can take many forms:
- Email Auto-Responder Series– Set up a series of follow-up emails, schedule them and let them run on their own.
- Solo Email Blasts – Send out an email blast whenever you have a new announcement.
- Email Newsletters – Stay in touch with your prospects and position yourself as an expert in your field.
- Email Testimonials – Let your customers do the talking for you.
