Convincing someone to buy from you during that very first contact is a challenge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is especially true in the B2B world, where the buying process usually takes longer, is more complex, and involves multiple stakeholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why marketers came up with the concept called lead nurturing, where instead of going for the big \u201cyes\u201d right away, you take time to establish a relationship first and only present your offer when the prospect is most likely to convert.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No, I wasn\u2019t.<\/strong> I subscribed to his free newsletter, though. And there I was \u2013 a lead that entered the lead nurturing path. Every week since then, I keep receiving emails from him. Some are educational, and some encourage me to purchase that online course (with a limited-time discount, of course).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the emails being super solid and backed with video testimonials and numbers, I still didn\u2019t plug in my credit card. But to be honest, I think I will.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is why email lead nurturing is crucial! Your potential customers might feel hooked from the start, but it\u2019s still too premature for them to say,<\/strong> \u201cOK, I will spend my $1K on that service.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
