Why Nurture Your Leads?
• Not everyone is ready to buy right away• Companies that excel at lead nurturing generate 50% more
sales-ready leads at 33% lower cost. (Forrester Research) • 65% of B2B buyers only engage with a vendor sales rep
after they’ve already made a purchase decision. • 83% of those customers only want to hear from you if you
are able to be relevant and contextual (2015 IDC Study commissioned by Salesforce).
