HOW TO: LEAD GENERATION
Lead Nurturing in Salesforce
Business is all about relationships, and relationships need attention in order to grow and stay strong. Growing relationships with your potential customers is called lead nurturing.
Lead nurturing: The process of developing and maintaining relationships with customers at every stage of their journey, usually through marketing and communications messaging.
Automated lead nurturing uses software to send messages that are triggered by customer behavior or predetermined schedules. Since listening to potential customers and answering their questions is a crucial part of nurturing leads, automation tools also alert marketers to customer questions and comments in need of responses.
Salesforce offers easy-to-use, powerful tools for lead nurturing, including our marketing automation solution, Pardot.
