Keep talking to the prospects

idea posted by Uday Singh Sales/BD Manager, Covansys
An effective lead nurturing initiative would be simply to sending automated, timed series of messages designed to keep your company and its products top-of-mind as the prospect moves through the buying cycle. Contacting everybody once so that no one goes an entire sales cycle without having received a touch.

Segmenting leads

idea posted by Somnath Karmakar Sales/BD Manager, Hewlett-Packard
Segmenting leads by criteria that indicate their propensity to buy as they come into your nurturing program such as by response to questions they answer.For instance, those who indicate very short purchasing timelines could be routed immediately to sales: while those who indicate longer timelines could receive longer-term communications, such as educational materials and case studies, and those who say they are “just researching” could be excluded from lead nurturing altogether.

Ya segmenting leads during lead nurturing will be effective as people buy for different reasons. One buyer may be severely price-sensitive while another may be more concerned about training modules and customer support. So contacting them keeping this in mind will be a good nurturing tactics for sales.
