Three steps to building lead nurturing email campaigns
1. Map the Customer Journey
Before you write a single email, understand where your audience is in their journey. Most lead nurture sequences follow these stages:
Awareness: Your lead discovered you. They’re curious but not ready to commit.
Consideration: Your lead knows what you offer but needs convincing.
Decision: Your lead is close to buying but needs that final nudge.
Now, step away from your computer and grab paper and pencil. Sketch out these stages and consider what your leads must hear (and feel) at each step.
2. Write Emails for Each Stage
Now that you’ve sketched out your stages, it’s time to jump back on your computer to write some emails. Each email in your sequence should have a clear purpose:
Email 1: Welcome and Introduce
First impressions matter. Start with a friendly introduction, thank them for signing up, and tell them what they can expect. Make it about them, not you. Example subject line: “Welcome! Here’s How [Your Brand] Can Help You”Email 2: Solve a Problem
Show empathy for their challenges and offer actionable tips. Include a valuable freebie if you have one (like a guide or checklist).Email 3: Share Social Proof
Share testimonials, case studies, or success stories to build trust. Highlight how other people like them achieved results with your product or service.Email 4: Handle Objections
Address common doubts or hesitations directly. Use a FAQ format or share a story about someone overcoming skepticism.Email 5: Call to Action
End your sequence with a clear, compelling call to action. Keep it simple and focused, whether booking a demo, signing up for a trial, or purchasing.
3. Test and Refine
Every audience is different. Experiment and then optimize. Test things like:
Subject lines: Which ones get the most opens?
Email content: What resonates most with your audience?
Timing: Do shorter or longer gaps between emails work better?
Pay attention to metrics like open rates, click-through rates, and conversions, and adjust your sequence accordingly. If you get replies from people, engage with them by asking questions and learning from them.
Start small, test your approach, and watch your leads warm up to your offers. What’s your biggest challenge with email sequences? Reply to this email—I’d love to help.
