Questions
• Are using Marketo for nurturing today?
• What audience(s) are you nurturing to?
– Prospects
– Customers
– Partners
– Role (decision maker, influencer)
– Buying stage (early, mid, late)
– Industry
– Solution
– Product

Questions
• Would you consider your nurturing programs simple or
complex?
• Have you setup some form of traffic cop in your
instance?
• Was it setup by internal resources or did you have a
consultant help you?
• Have you implemented the Customer Engagement
Module?

What is Nurturing?
Nurturing is the process of building
trusted relationships in a way that is both
consistent and relevant to the audience
with the goal of earning/continuing to
earn their business.

Five Steps of Nurturing
1. Set the goal(s) for the nurture campaign
2. Define the audience
3. Decide on type/timing
4. Target a variety of content
5. Implement
Measure & Adjust

1. Set Goal(s) for a Specific Nurturing Campaign
• What are you trying to achieve? For example:
– To convert raw sales inquiries into qualified prospects
– To automatically identify “in profile” leads
– To convert free trial downloads to paying customers
– To further qualify, and collect more information from, inbound sales
leads
– To educate, or build goodwill amongst a list of existing prospects
– To build thought leadership awareness with prospects
– To “stay in touch with” existing prospects so they call us when the
need arise
– To acquire more business from existing customers
– To turn dormant accounts back into active accounts
– To drive customer renewals
• Set metrics, if you can.

2. Define the Audience
• Are you targeting prospects, customers, partners
• What additional segmentation(s) will you use
– Role (decision maker, influencer)
– Buying stage (early, mid, late)
– Industry
– Solution
– Product
The more targeted the audience, the more
specific your message => better response

3. Decide on Type and Timing
• Drip Campaigns
– Emails are sent out over a fixed time
in a fixed order.
• Accelerator Campaigns
– Triggered by specific behavior in an
attempt to move leads through the
buy cycle faster (aka “Behavioral
Campaigns”)
Sales
Process

4. Target Variety of Content
• Content must be relevant & interesting
• Use different types of content (white paper, video, article)
• Content should be easy to digest
• Take existing content and make it bite-size – allows to
stretch the content you already have
• Make content valuable, not self-promotional
– Use links to 3rd party content as well as your own
• Aim is to develop a relationship — not pushy
• Start with the content you already have or can reference –
then add to it as you go
• 411 messages… 4 educational/1 soft sell/1 hard sell

5. Implement
• Use email and landing page best practices
• Watch for cross campaign content issues (skip content if already
offered)
• Limit number of emails sent across Marketo in a given timeframe
• Prioritize your nurturing campaigns/streams
• Test before you turn it on
• Monitor closely
• Review content at least quarterly
Managing multiple nurturing campaigns
with the new Customer Engagement
Module is much easier!
