How does Lead Nurturing Work?
Customer Lifecycle
Buying Cycle
Sales Cycle
Service
When the prospect purchases, they become a customer, requiring ongoing service and support. Customers can also be nurtured to encouraged upselling and cross-selling
Leads become prospects when moved to Sales Accepted Lead (SAL). When they are valid opportunity the prospect becomes a Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) and enters the sales pipeline.
Leads that inquire about solutions or services during the buying cycle can be classified as Marketing Qualified Leads (MQL). Buying Intent is unknown at this point.

Supporting technology for Lead Nurturing
Lead Scoring
Uses four types of data gathered from Campaign Response
Implicit – Web visitor tracking
Explicit – Demographic
Explicit – Forms data
Explicit – Email Response Data
Grouping and ranking of leads
Automated notification process
Drives enrollment in nurture campaigns

Supporting Technology
Trigger-based email
Auto-responders – simple 1-shot emails – fulfillment of marketing assets
Nurture campaigns – Trigger the beginning of a series of emails
Personalized communications
Focus is delivering high-value marketing content to the right people…at the right time
Examples
Auto-responder – fulfill a white paper
Auto-enroll – trigger a series of emails based on a form question response
Enroll in high-value series of emails based on lead score
Field value changes in CRM

Supporting technology
Web visitor tracking
Listens to lead activity on the corporate website
Auto-enrolls in campaigns based on implicit behavior
Alerts inside sales/outside sales when high-value activity occurs
Continuously feeds the lead scoring model – which drives nurture activity

Demographics & behavioral data
Demographic data alone is not enough to build a lead scoring model
Behavioral data, combined with demographic is most powerful
2 Types of behavioral data
Implicit online behavior – pages viewed, time on site in 1 session, total sessions over period of time….etc
Explicit behavior – register for webinar, download document, fill out form
Implicit behavioral data – similar to RF Models used in retail
Recency/Frequency
Data cannot be “fudged”
Most larger online retailers use this type of data
