Not every prospect will be ready to join, buy or donate on the day your sales rep calls—or when your direct mail piece hits their desk.  While organizations will plan, test and model their lead-generation programs, follow-up efforts are often inconsistent, outdated, or poorly tracked and managed.  Today, leading firms are treating lead nurture with the same attention to detail as acquisition programs, and finding that an effective lead nurture program can significantly improve performance and marketing ROI. 

Session attendees will walk away with practical idea on how to convert more leads into members… donors… and life-long customers.

  • Role of lead nurture
  • Establishing a lead-nurture process
  • Prioritizing and scoring leads
  • Standardizing and automating follow-up efforts
  • Tips, best practices and ways to take the next step
