Automated Email Drip for Lead Nurturing
Click to zoomOverview
A fully automated email drip sequence that enrolls leads on contact tag, sends 3 timed emails, and qualifies them based on booking link clicks. Unresponsive leads exit cleanly to avoid over-messaging.
Stack
What needed solving
Sales teams manually follow up with every lead regardless of interest level, wasting time on cold prospects while warm leads go cold waiting for a response.
How I approached it
A tag-triggered drip sequence that runs automatically. Three timed emails go out over 4 days, then a conditional check identifies who clicked the booking link. Engaged leads get tagged for the sales team, unresponsive ones exit the sequence cleanly.
