Successful Lead Nurturing Through Email Marketing
So you’ve developed a solid base of potential customers through leads captured through your landing pages or bought from third party lead generators - but now what? Sure, you can start contacting each lead, one by one via telephone, but most of your leads aren’t quite ready to speak with a live salesperson yet. And if you’re utilizing good lead capture practices, you may have a good majority of leads with nothing more than a first name and an e-mail address. Lead Nurturing The obvious answer is to nurture your leads e-mail marketing. E-mail marketing allows you to pursue solid leads without pressuring and potentially turning off new customers. It also offers you a way to reach leads that initially did not supply any other method of contact information. This type of marketing, however, should be left to real people. Lead nurturing should never be left to an automated system in a standalone fashion, since this is your first contact with a lead that isn’t quite ready for conversion. The point of lead nurturing is to move your lead to a sale as easily as possible, and a live person will always be able to do a better job. Lead nurturing can be a hard process to implement with your sales department, however, which is why a large majority of your leads are going to slip through the cracks. Sales executives are more interested in the guaranteed opportunities that will get them the quick conversion and put money in their pocket now. To them, quality is defined by the lead’s ability to generate revenue for them now - and a large quantity of leads that need nurturing just can’t offer them that. Email Marketing for Lead Nurturing When your sales department isn’t interested in lead nurturing, this will turn into something you’ll have to handle yourself - and e-mail marketing can help you do it effectively. With e-mail marketing, you can create static, and yet personalized campaigns that can begin the relationship between your company and the consumer, while still remaining at a distance. Nurturing, and yet not overpowering, is the goal. This way, when it’s time to move in for a sale, you now have the trust of your lead and the conversion can be completed effortlessly. Cost Effective E-mail marketing is also incredibly cost efficient. With the right e-mail marketing software, you can create marketing campaigns for the purposes of lead nurturing for absolutely nothing. The only effort spent will be the small amount of time and preparation it will take to create your initial campaign. E-mail marketing software can handle the specifics, including the contact information for each lead you are attempting to reach.
Drip Email Marketing Drip Email Marketing, also referred as Autoresponders or event triggered emails, if used carefully effectively, will be very useful in increasing lead conversion rates. Intelligent filters based on lead profile and lead behavioral pattern should be used to deliver drip emails to the right prospects, with right contents, at the right time. Take the load of your Sales Team Lead nurturing through e-mail marketing allows your sales department to focus on what they do best: selling. Forcing your salespeople to handle lead nurturing will only result in the loss of thousands of potential customers. Instead, take the task on yourself and know that you’re reaching the consumers who are waiting until they’re ready to make their move, and when the time comes in for the sale, you’ll know to expect an easy conversion.
