Hinweis der Redaktion
- Marketers tend to focus on the top of the marketing funnel – driving more traffic to the website, for example, and the bottom of the funnel – closing the sale. If prospects aren’t ready to buy right now, they are abandoned. Sometimes they’re never even identified in the first place.But that’s where the gold is. And the purpose of this presentation is to remind you of that.You have to engage prospects at various stages of the buying process and nurture or develop them into customers. Not everyone is ready to reach for a credit card or speak to your sales team or even give you their contact information. This doesn’t mean they aren’t valuable to you.

- Might be a good place for a picture?From Success.HubSpot.com: Overview: Increase Lead Reconversion Rates With HubSpot Lead NurturingLead Nurturing is the art and science of crafting a series of emails that get automatically sent to your leads after they first convert to get them to take more steps down your funnel without you doing a thing!!Marketers that use lead nurturing typically get a much higher conversion rate of leads into customers. You’ve probably invested a lot of time and effort to get your leads in the first place. It would be crazy not to invest the additional bit of effort to create Lead Nurturing campaigns that ensure that as many of those leads as possible become customers. If you have even just one form or landing page hooked up to HubSpot, DO NOT REST until you have at least 1 Lead Nurturing campaign actively maximizing the chance that those hard-earned leads become customers.According to MarketingSherpa, 70% of your leads will end up buying something from you or one of your competitors, but they won’t do it right away! Lead Nurturing lets you keep progressing those leads down your funnel and stay top-of-mind so that when they are ready to buy, there’s a good chance they’ll buy from you, and not one of your competitors.Even if you or a sales rep contacts every one of your leads, you should set up Lead Nurturing to keep your leads moving down your funnel in parallel with your human-based efforts.

- If your company does not convert many of those “long sales cycle” leads into a customer, the problem is NOT lead quality or the competition. Forrester Research says that companies following a lead management process that includes Lead Nurturing, have closing rates 300% higher than their competitors who do not stay in touch with qualified and qualifiable leads.
