The three marketing automation processes
B2B marketing concists of three processes: Getting leads, nurturing leads, and activating leads. We call it the three marketing automation processes and it works like this:
- Get leads: Create lead magnets, capture new leads, follow them up with automated marketing processes, and send to sales when your leads show buying intent.
- Nurture your leads: Long-term leads may be interested in learning more over time, but they're not ready to buy or engage with a person just yet. Nurture these leads through their own buying journey until they are ready. Even leads who will never be buyers are valuable and should be nurtured. They are interested in your content for a reason, and may help you spread the word. Build relationships with your leads through lead nurturing. Use automated marketing processes to communicate the right message with the right lead at the right time. Use segmented lists to show them ads on the right topic when they're showing signs of interest of a certain topic. Use trigger-based campaigns to engage them and entice them to take the next step when they're showing buying signals. Marketing automation can help you both nurture and capture interest from leads that you're building a long-term relationship with.
- Convert leads: Set up proactive engagement campaigns to specific targets, to entice your contacts and leads to take part of an offering or to get in touch with you. Do this by creating the offering, selecting your segment, and send the offer to them. Offers can be product campaigns, more information campaigns such as webinars, seminars or other types of events, or even feedback or product evaluation offers. When leads convert on your offers, they're added to your automated follow-up sequences which might involve both sales and marketing.
