Why it matters

  • Most leads aren't ready at first touch. Nurture keeps the relationship alive until they are — without it, interest rots.

Best practices

  • Segment before you sequence.
  • Make every email useful, not just present.
  • Time touches to engagement.
  • Short and relevant beats long and frequent.

Common mistakes

  • Sequences that only sell.
  • Everyone gets the same flow.
  • Never cleaning the list of dead leads.

Key questions

  • What does this lead need to hear at this stage?
  • When do we stop and let sales take over?
