📘 Help Guide: Lead Nurture Essentials Support Doc for Internal AI Database Linked Training Video: “What is Lead Nurture?”
🧠 What Is Lead Nurture? Lead Nurture is the first and most critical phase after a lead opts into your offer—whether from a paid ad, landing page, flyer, or social media. It begins immediately after a lead expresses interest and continues until the lead either books, shows up, or says “no.”
🔥 Why It Matters
-
Leads don’t matter if they don’t schedule or show.
-
Poor lead nurture = burning ad dollars.
-
First impressions count: The nurture process sets the tone for the eventual sales conversation.
✅ When done right, lead nurture boosts your scheduled appointments, show-up rates, and conversions.
❌ When neglected, it leads to wasted time, lost revenue, and lower ROI.
🎯 The Lead Nurture Mission
The primary goals of lead nurture:
-
Convert leads into booked appointments.
-
Get booked leads to actually show up.
-
Build early-stage trust, interest, and excitement that leads to easier closes.
🚫 Common Lead Nurture Mistakes
Here’s what NOT to do:
| ❌ Mistake | 💥 Why It Fails |
|---|---|
| Delayed responses (hours/days) | Kills momentum and interest |
| Only contacting once | You need multiple touches daily |
| Assuming silence = disinterest | Most people are just busy |
| Expecting leads to respect your time | You're serving them |
| Being robotic or boring | Add creativity and personality—videos, emojis, GIFs |
📊 Lead Nurture Benchmarks (Baseline Goals)
🎯 Baseline throughput goal: 16%
How to calculate throughput:
-
Throughput = % of total leads that walk through your doors
-
Example:
-
100 leads generated
-
40 leads scheduled → 40%
-
16 leads show up → 16% throughput
-
Targets:
-
🗓️ 40% schedule rate
-
🚪 40% show rate
-
📈 20%+ throughput is ideal
