7 Keys
To Successful Lead Nurturing
According to lead generation expert, Brian Carroll, author of Lead Generation for the Complex Sale, as many
as 9 out of 10 visitors to your website are not ready to buy now. This means you need to find a way to stay in
touch with that 9 and build trust – so that when they’re ready to buy, they buy from you.

The process of keeping in touch with prospective buyers by sharing valuable information till they’re ready to buy
is called “Lead Nurturing.”

Should you do Lead Nurturing?




HERE ARE SOME SALIENT FACTS FROM EXPERTS:                                         Today’s marketers must

  inquiring, 23% of the surveyed subjects had bought the product                  buyers with high quality
  or service, from the promoter or from a competitor. An                          content that is contextually

● According to DemandGen Report, nurtured leads produce, on

  average, a 20 percent increase in sales opportunities versus                    goal here is to share
  non-nurtured leads.                                                             actionable information.
What are the 7 Keys to a Successful
    Lead Nurturing Program?

       1. Lead nurturing starts with                5. Use Catch Factors®
          research                                     (credit: Ardath Albee of
                                                       MarketingInteractions)
       Figure out who your ideal buyers are            to get their attention
       and research what makes them tick.
       What are their problems? Where do they       Make sure each piece of content can
       go for information? How do they like to      identify one or more Catch Factors
       consume information? The better you
       know them, the better you can                ●   Urgency (Why do they need it?)
       communicate with them.                       ●   Impact (What will result?)
                                                    ●   Effort (How hard will it be?)
       2. Develop a content map                     ●   Reputation (Can I trust you?) and
                                                    ●   Intent (Why should I buy from you?)
       We have a sample on the Free Tools
       page at Find New Customers, but you          Include a Call to Action (What you want
       want to map your content across the          them to do, such as visit a landing page to
       buying process using many buying             learn more) and a Cliff Hanger® (Ardath
       variable, such as industry, stage of         Albee) – think of the TV show “Breaking
       process, title, media type, etc. Your        Bad” or “Rescue Me” Each show ends with
       goal’s to help them move through the         scene from
       buying process.                              next week. Exciting stuff. That’s a cliff
                                                    hanger. You want to grab their interest and
       3. Create missing content                    keep it.

       Your content map will undoubtedly have       6. Space out your communication
       holes. Create content to fill those holes.
                                                    Between 2 and 4 weeks is generally best.
       4. Walk the buyer on a journey               It’s ideal if you can ask the prospect for his
          from Problem to Solution                  or her own preferred pace.

       Your content should walk them on a           7. Launch your program, measure
       journey – from the problems of today to         the results and refine your
       the solutions of tomorrow. With your            program
       insights, you should understand their
       problems and how your products and           Lead nurturing should be a continuous
       services will be the solution to those       journey, and not a task.
       problems.
