Two Tips for Lead Nurturing Success

An email blast is not the right solution to generating more opportunities. The leads in your database are unique, because their needs differ. A lead nurturing program allows you to develop a relationship with leads in an effective way until they become ready to buy. The sales team will be happier when marketing is passing better qualified leads to them.

Two tips for lead nurturing success:

1. Personalization: Personalized emails have the potential of leading to higher click-through rates over mass email techniques. Merely changing the salutation in your outbound marketing messages could double your click-throughs. Now imagine targeting by contact role, industry, and/or geography. Personalizing emails in each of these categories will impact your ROI; personalizing for all three could potentially double and in some cases triple your conversions.

2. Timely Engagement: Other than targeting your leads with the right message, building rapport with your prospects at the right time is also important. Mapping out content to match each stage of the buying cycle is essential for driving the sales process. Establish yourself as an industry thought leader by providing relevant information. Sending a whitepaper on minimizing risk, improving productivity, or case study can work to position you as a source for valuable industry knowledge.
