How to Nurture a New Course Lead

Nurturing Your New Lead

As a coach or consultant, you know that generating new leads is essential to growing your business, and what happens after you capture a lead?

Quick answer: how do you nurture a new course lead?

To nurture a new course lead, send a helpful follow-up sequence that introduces you, explains the learner problem, shares useful advice, shows proof, answers objections, and invites the lead to take the next step. In New Zenler, creators can connect lead magnets, funnels, email automations, course pages, and offers so new leads receive useful follow-up instead of being left cold.

Do you simply send a welcome email and move on to the next lead?

If so, you may be missing the relationship-building stage that turns interest into trust. Nurturing your new leads is just as important as capturing them in the first place.
Let's discuss why now.

Developing a Relationship with Your New Lead

When someone becomes a lead, they are interested in what you have to offer, however, that doesn't mean they're ready to buy right away. Many leads need several helpful touchpoints before they feel ready to buy, especially when the offer involves learning, coaching, or a transformation. By developing a relationship with your new lead, you're building trust and staying top-of-mind for when they're ready to make a decision.

The Importance of a 7-Day Email Sequence

A simple starting point is a 7-day email sequence. This sequence should include a series of 7 emails sent over the course of a week. The emails should introduce you, provide value, build trust, answer objections, and point to the right next step. Each email should have a specific focus, and they should work together to create a cohesive narrative that guides your lead toward a useful next step.

What to Include in Your 7-Day Email Sequence

When crafting your 7-day email sequence, be sure to include the following:

Day 1: Introduce yourself and your story
Day 2: Share why you started your business and what motivates you
Day 3: Provide a case study or testimonial from a happy customer
Day 4: Share a valuable tip or resource that your lead can use right away
Day 5: Discuss common challenges that your target audience faces and how you can help
Day 6: Provide a special offer or incentive to encourage your lead to take action
Day 7: Recap what you've covered so far and encourage your lead to take the next step
