How to create outlook signature

welcome to another edition of digital marketing 101 i'm solomon timothy today's question is how do i create an effective lead nurturing campaign this is what i do every single day answer questions to your most common problems right marketing is very sophisticated very complicated but at the end of the day i want to make it super simple for you so you can execute get more results for your investment thank you so much let's get started [Music] first i want to say thank god for automation because there used to be a time where i was manually writing emails to people at different stages of the funnel right getting people in the door and maybe having a sales conversation sending every follow-up email by hand and then putting reminders to follow up in a month a week and finally work on closing that deal and onboarding the customer this used to be manual thank god for marketing automation i don't have to do that this whole entire process is fully optimized and fully automated so once a lead gets into the website in fact once somebody gets to our website you can completely optimize in a way that they fill out a form that leads to further automation and then they qualify themselves and literally go through this entire stage from being a cold traffic guys cold traffic to a lead to a customer a paying customer and if you don't have that figured out yet guess what this is the day this is the month this is the year to work on that send me an email i'll walk you through what you need to get started now this video is not about that this video is how do you build an effective lead nurturing strategy for your business i want you to know i make a lot of content about marketing and sales one of the biggest problems that people have is they spend a lot of money driving traffic and they generate leads but the problem is those leads of course go into your crm system but they fall right out the faster they come they leave why because there just isn't anything set to automate the nurturing and so i've created a couple things that you can do and i want you to consider this for your organization start working on it because what i don't want for your business is to lose them i want you to trap them in all right i want to make sure those leads that are coming in at the end of the day they're going to close not only that they're going to stay with you and they're going to become essentially a company that's going to share the information right and tell other people about it right that's what i call somebody who becomes a brand advocate so here's what i came up with for you to first and foremost create the best in class lead nurturing strategy for your business number one why don't you write down your goals what exactly do you want to happen how many leads do you want to generate what do you want them to do next do you want them to go to a demo do you want a free trial do you want them to watch a webinar what is the next step right do you want to give them a case study do you want a white paper guide i mean there's millions of things that you could do to drive quality leads to actually drive quality outcomes at the end of the day those outcomes could be anything you choose right people are doing lead nurturing for getting partners it's not even the lead there's obviously getting leads and then maybe it's about getting more affiliates anything can be done once you know exactly what are you trying to do and if it's already about great it's all the about you might need three different tracks number two how are you gonna score this contacts that are coming in obviously you're gonna get both loads of people filling out the form but how do you know they're any good how are you going to measure that they're 1 out of 10 or 9 out of 10 right so mentally you're going to have to have some goals so that you can start scoring them number three segment them obviously if you're like me we have different personas we have this type of personal vp ceo maybe a sales rep i even have a persona for somebody who's just looking for more information it could be an intern somebody who's a very low level person hey just trying to do some research fantastic they certainly will fill out the form to get the guides and downloads and everything but you want to make sure that those people are nurtured as well so having those contacts segmented will enable you to create these personas and finally my most most most highly highly recommended thing is to create personalized content a ceo thinks very differently than the vp than the marketing manager than somebody who's in sales right the vp of sales or a sales rep so think about that a sales rep has a very distinct job they know what the goal is they're asked to close x number of leads or business or whatever it is close this much contract that's a sales rep vp of sales leading the department the cmo is thinking about how do i make sure our messaging is on point how do we make sure that by the end of the quarter we're going to move these big ginormous rocks for our company that's what a cmo is doing well the ceo is saying hey how do i make sure the vision and the mission of our company is on point how do we make sure our customers are happy and we're going to beat those competition right at the end that i see is like what am i going to do so that my organization my empire my legacy whatever it is is going to grow at the end of the day so different people want to be told different things different stories different examples different items on their agenda it's not the same as a sales rep right it's not the same as a vp of sales a vp of marketing has complete different goals for their job than a vp of sales so personalizing custom content is going to be one of the hardest things that you're going to have to do but guess what that is one way that you're gonna prevent this because the ceo reads it they're like yeah this is not exactly what i'm looking for this is way too technical too much technobabble i don't even understand half of this stuff i'm not a technical person and unsubscribe would you agree but if you say hey what if i can generate this for your business and what if you can grow by this percent and what if you didn't have to have some sort of training process for your people it's going to be this way we're going to do it for you automation ai i don't know big data whatever it is that you provide making it simple for the ceo to know this is the outcome this is the investment he might still want to be inside that nurturing sequence and at the same time if you're talking to a vp of sales about goals and numbers and productivity of their reps he's gonna be very excited if you talk to the team about creative and testing and split testing right and efficiency and things like that user experience oh my gosh they're going to be all over that stuff you're not going to get this from your funnel and then let's talk about it then the actual doing of the campaigns of course got to set them up put the titles the h1s and the content put an image for the video and click through to a landing page there's a lot of work that goes into this and figuring out what order are we going to send this what are the triggers what page what happens of course the more complicated the tools that you use the longer it takes to actually implement lead nurturing campaign and my last two which again it should happen for everything that you do in marketing is the lead nurturing doing what it's supposed to do are we getting the results that we want if at the end of the day our goal is to close one million dollars let's just say one million dollars a month is it doing that if no then i have a lot of room to work on maybe i am losing people in my funnel maybe i am generating unqualified traffic which means i'm generating unqualified leads and all of this can be reworked and finally testing and optimizing if it's not doing that when you're measuring it obviously you want to work on improving that and obviously the best thing that you can do is say okay fine if it's not generating 1 million dollars what is it doing is it doing 25 is it 30 where is that gap so we can work on improving that if you haven't started doing lean nurturing free organization today is the day to start strategizing planning implementing figuring out a tool for you and do yourself a favor don't start with a tool and then throw it away and start over with a different tool because these people as i said they're going to get confused and lost and depending on the company that you end up choosing the emails may not even get into their inbox so you want to work with something that's quality and if you need help if you need suggestions reach out to one of our consultants we have over a hundred of them here that can walk you through exactly how to do this and how to measure it and how do you create personalized content at scale and how do you actually what are some best practices for lead scoring there's so much that goes into it lead nurturing is not just about sending some drip emails to anybody that fills out the form and then hoping that somehow you're going to generate revenue at the end of the day that is not what it is you want to make sure that it's never done in fact you should be adding to it because if they get to the last step of a workflow if you want to continue nurturing a future lead you want to go back and add a couple more pieces of action or move them around maybe update the content if your organization has some new product lines you want to make sure you give us many resources and links to different areas of our website it has to be optimized so hopefully these eight steps that i've given you is going to give
