Sometimes as a marketer, you don't necessarily want to reinvent the wheel. When there is an opportunity to do something faster, and take advantage of the knowledge of those who have been there before you, it makes sense to sieze the opportunity. Workflows and lead nurturing campaigns are a great example of this. Whether you are just getting started with Workflows, or if you have a few basic workflows set up and are looking for new campaign ideas, others have been in your shoes before and can help.
That's where Workflows Recipes, a new feature of the Workflows tool, comes in. Workflow Recipes is a library of pre-created workflows that are tried, tested, and proven effective by marketers here at 探花精选. You can easily browse the different recipes in our library, and install any recipe with just the click of a button.
Each recipe features a description of what it should be used for, an endorsement from a marketer at 探花精选, and a breakdown of what it contains. Installing the lead nurturing recipe, for example, will create a starting list, a goal list, two sample emails, and a workflow that ties all of these components together.
The Components of your Campaign
When you install a recipe, 探花精选 automatically generates all of the necessary components for that campaign to work. Let's take a closer look at the components of a basic lead nurturing campaign that the lead nurturing recipe would create.
A starting list and a goal list
The first components the lead nurturing recipe creates are a starting and a goal list. The starting list is a smart list of all the contacts marked with a lifecycle stage of "lead" in your 探花精选 database. This means that installing and activating this workflow would put every new lead in your system into this lead nurturing campaign automatically. The goal list is a list of all the contacts marked with a lifecycle stage of "marketing qualified lead" in your 探花精选 database. This means that if you have criteria set to change a lead into a marketing qualified lead when they meet certain criteria, this campaign would stop for them. (At that point, many folks choose to move those leads to a new, better targeted campaign, or hand them off to their sales team.)
Email Content
The second components created by the recipe are two sample emails that the workflow sends. You'll obviously need to do some tweaking here, but the sample emails are designed to give you some ideas for solid offers that you might use in your campaign. Since this is a lead nurturing campaign, the goal of the campaign is to get our leads to demonstrate a deeper interest in our product, so the emails are an offer for a consultation, and an offer to sign up for a webinar.
A Workflow to tie it all together
Last but certainly not least, the lead nurturing recipe will create a workflow that ties your lists and your emails together into a campaign, which you can see below. Once you are ready to take your workflow live, simply change the workflow to active in the upper right hand corner.
