But, to achieve these goals, you must create an email automation workflow specifically tailored to your customers\u2019 needs and send it at the right time.<\/p>\n
Here are a few tips to make the most of email automation and boost your content marketing results-<\/p>\n
<\/span>1. Set Up Behavior-Triggered Emails<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nIn a B2B company, the sales team handles numerous leads daily. Keeping track of each customer\u2019s position in the sales funnel and sending them relevant and timely content can be a hassle. To simplify this, you can create a standard email template that gets sent after the buyer completes the desired action, such as-<\/p>\n
\n- Clicking a link in the email<\/li>\n
- Submitting a form on the website<\/li>\n
- Signing up for the newsletter, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These triggered emails also help maintain a conversation with the buyer and send follow-up emails in an email drip campaign, boosting engagement and customer retention<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/span>2. Nurture Your Leads<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n![\"Nurture](\"https:\/\/realesta.co\/inprojects\/lbb\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Nurture-Your-Leads.jpg\" "\\"Nurture")
\nB2B sales<\/a> cycles are generally time-taking due to the complexity of products and the number of people involved in the decision-making. So, it is crucial to remain in the minds of the buyer during these periods of inactivity.<\/p>\nYou can achieve this by sending focused content in the form of tutorials, comparisons, white papers, etc., instead of general information. With email automation, you can set up emails that get sent periodically while the buyer makes a purchase decision.<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. Use Auto-Responding Features<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nIsn\u2019t it reassuring to receive a confirmation email after signing up or making payments? It tells you that the information is well-received and initiates further actions accordingly. Thus, it is essential to instill the same sense of relief in your B2B customers<\/a> by responding to their activities as quickly as possible.<\/p>\nAnd since your sales team cannot always be available for every buyer or lead, the autoresponder feature of email automation aids you in replying to your customers immediately. A simple \u201cwe have received your query, and we\u2019ll get back to you\u201d email can also make buyers feel respected and appreciated.<\/p>\n
<\/span>4. Resend Emails to Non-Openers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n![\"Resend](\"https:\/\/realesta.co\/inprojects\/lbb\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Resend-Emails-to-Non-Openers.jpg\" "\\"Resend")
<\/p>\n
In most cases, you need to pursue a lead for some time before they are interested in your product. During this period, it is possible that they don\u2019t open certain emails sent by you. Instead of creating a new template, you can resend these unopened emails with a different subject line.<\/p>\n
You can easily do this with the help of your existing email automation tool. It will detect unopened emails and automatically replace the subject line from the stack provided by you. Then, the automation tool sends the email again to the buyer after a specified waiting period. This can increase your email open rates, resulting in an increase in leads and sales in the long run.<\/p>\n
<\/span>5. Enhance Cold-Email Outreach <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nCold emails are basically you trying to talk to a very busy stranger. So, no small talk. Gather relevant data about your target customers and segment them based on their preferences and pain points. Then, use your email automation tool to design and send targeted emails to these groups of buyers.<\/p>\n
Create one template for each target segment and use the merge tags feature to fill in other standard details. Remember to customize the name, date, and time section in an automated email.<\/p>\n
