Whether through marketing nurture or Sales outreach, what you do next turns leads into revenue—or lost opportunities. 

The campaign’s done. The leads are in your hands. 

Now the real work begins. Post-delivery is your window to keep the conversation alive, qualify interest, and move prospects toward a decision. Sometimes that means nurturing them over time; sometimes it means handing them to Sales right away. Either way, it’s your opportunity to: 

  • Turn early curiosity into active buying conversations 
  • Keep your brand front-and-center during long SLED cycles 
  • Secure a seat at the table to help agencies shape the solution 
  • Create opportunities for revenue now—or down the road 

In this session, you’ll learn how to build a follow-up plan that blends nurture and Sales outreach, so you never let a warm lead go cold.
