Lead nurturing — critical but poorly understood


I had the opportunity to be interviewed two times last week.  Both of these interviewers want to speak with me about lead nurturing.

What’s lead nurturing?  It’s process of sharing compelling and interesting information that builds trust with target clients, regardless of their timing to buy.

One of my favorite questions was this:  Is lead nurturing hard to do?  My answer surprised the interviewer.

“Yes and No.”

As Brian Halligan of HubSpot stated so well, companies compete on width of brain today, and not width of wallet.

Lead nurturing takes little money, but a lot of research, thinking, testing and tuning.

Last week we also created a short video to share the upcoming events for Insiders.  (This is my first attempt to put a video in a blog post.  Sure hope it works.)
