If you are currently buying or are planning on buying aftermarket leads chances are you are going to buy in big volumes. Marketing is definitely a numbers game, whether you are buying Internet leads, sending direct mail, or working aged leads. That means not everyone is going to be an immediate buyer. Lead nurturing can turn your whole lead buying into a long-term, continually returning investment.
Lead Nurturing is Not Just Email
The first misconception of lead nurturing is that it is an autoresponder. Although, these have their rightful place in marketing, lead nurturing needs more. Simply blasting customers with a mindless string of emails is not building a relationship.
Make sure that your lead management process is a mixture of various marketing communications: regular calls, direct mail, even an email or two.
Vintage leads are inherently a blend of customers at various stages of inquiry. Therefore, your need to design your lead management strategy in such a manner as to nurture clients to the proper financial product or service.
Lead Management is About Trust Building
Nurturing leads and doing it in an efficient way is critical to converting aged leads into loyal customers. This requires a lead management process that builds trust and engagement. The following are some basic techniques for creating a trust-based lead nurturing process:
- Inform them about your company
- Educate them on the current market
- Explain the various solutions available
- Tell them what to avoid
- Call them to action when the time is right
The more value you provide to the customer the greater the trust. Clients enrolled in your lead nurturing campaign may not be ready to transact, but the smarter they get about your products and services the more likely they are to call you for help.
No, Means Maybe Later
But, how do you start? Well, all clients should have access to your lead nurturing program. It should be a central part of your ongoing customer relationship manager. However, the most important group are those that say, “no.”
Customers that don’t close immediately are not failures of your sales process–they are failures of your timing. Lead nurturing helps you cure your bad timing. Non-responsive customers, customers that go with competitors, and customers that say they do not need your services are “future” prospects.
Unless they tell you to stop calling on them, respectfully keep them informed and you are certain to build an enormous, long-term pipeline.
