Make lead nurture automatic! #ai

Introduction

You've built a business to close leads, so it's important to ensure that you're nurturing those leads effectively. In this article, I'm going to show you how to set up automation so that lead nurturing happens effortlessly, even while you sleep. This approach is easy to manage if you only have five people in your contacts, but it becomes crucial when you're generating leads and have a thousand people in your database. How are you going to keep up with the 50 estimates you did last month? You need to automate your follow-ups, allowing you to focus on other critical aspects of your business.

Imagine this scenario: Susan requests an estimate, then you don't hear from her for four weeks. She might have ghosted you. However, when she gets her tax return and decided she wants to proceed, automation can ensure she reaches out to you seamlessly. Instead of manually tracking every lead, an automated nurture sequence will remind Susan that she wanted to use your services. After four weeks, she might reach out to you saying, "Hey Justin, I want to close this deal. Can you come out and wash my house? It's filthy, and my neighbors are making fun of me." You can then respond promptly and close the sale, all thanks to your automated system.

The key areas that can benefit from automation in your business include lead nurture, sales, and reputation management. While sales are crucial, this article will focus on automating the nurturing process rather than sales techniques. Reputation management, such as requesting reviews, is another important aspect that can be automated, although it's not covered in this course. All these elements are part of what we do at Lead Brain, ensuring that your lead follow-up, sale closing, and review requests run on autopilot.
