Generating leads is only half the battle. If you don’t nurture them properly, they’ll forget about
you or move on to your competitors. Lead nurturing is about building trust, educating, and
guiding prospects until they’re ready to buy.

What is a Lead Nurturing Workflow?

It’s an automated series of communications—emails, SMS, or messages triggered by specific
actions—that guide prospects through your sales funnel. Each message is designed to answer
questions, provide value, and gently push leads closer to conversion.

Steps to Build an Effective Workflow:

1. Segment Your Leads: Group your contacts based on behaviors like form submissions,
page visits, or previous purchases. This lets you send relevant content instead of generic
blasts.
2. Map Out the Buyer Journey: Understand the questions and objections prospects have
at each stage—awareness, consideration, and decision.
3. Create Valuable Content: Develop emails or messages that address those
needs—educational articles, case studies, demos, testimonials, or offers.
4. Set Triggers and Timing: Automate messages based on actions (e.g., someone
downloads an ebook) or time intervals to avoid overwhelming leads.
5. Include Clear Calls-to-Action: Each message should have a next step—schedule a
call, watch a video, or try a demo.

Measuring and Optimizing

Monitor open rates, click-throughs, and conversions. Experiment with subject lines, send times,
and content to improve engagement. A/B testing helps refine your workflows for maximum
impact.

A well-designed lead nurturing workflow turns cold leads into warm prospects and
dramatically increases your conversion rates—without manual follow-up stress
