Develop Your Own “Nurture” List
November 9, 2011

It’s become common practice for businesses to engage in lead nurturing, a practice used to bring prospects closer to becoming new business through the use of content and education, but there are some prospects that could benefit from a more personal touch. You must prove to them that they are not just another sales call, but that you really care about earning their business.
Go the Extra Mile for New Business
How do you feel when you get a personal email from someone important to you, with a piece of valuable information? It feels pretty good, especially in this day and age of mass email and manufactured personalization. In recessionary times we need to work even harder to get business, which is why personal connection is even more important than ever.
Pamper Your Best Prospects
The most effective business owners and sales people know who their best possible prospects are and nurture them accordingly. Now is a great time to begin, if you haven’t already, to develop that prospect nurturing list that you are going to personally stay in touch with until they become customers!
Action Summary
Create a list of your best prospects – just the top ones that you can stay in touch with a couple of times per month – and start nurturing them with content, value, ideas and relevant information that will cement you as the trusted advisor in your business sector.
