Lead nurturing campaigns for unconverted prospects

Purpose

1. Automate lead nurturing campaigns to target and engage unconverted prospects in the wholesale fire alarm sector, driving repeated follow-ups, providing educational content, supporting conversions, and building trust with automated outreach.

2. Automating reminders, value propositions, product updates, and personalized offers to prospects who have not made purchases, ensuring no potential sale is missed.

3. Utilizes automation to deliver sequenced, timely, personalized communications, leveraging multiple channels like email, SMS, calls, and digital ads, reducing the manual workload for sales and marketing teams.

Trigger Conditions

1. Prospect record is added to CRM without conversion after initial outreach.

2. Specific inactivity period detected (e.g., no response for 7 days).

3. Automated campaign activated when a quote is sent and not followed up.

4. Event-based triggers such as downloading a product brochure but not requesting a quote.
