Nurture turns opt-ins into booked calls by teaching first and asking later. Segment new leads by persona and intent, send a 6–8 email education sequence over about 30 days, invite engaged leads to a webinar or call, then move everyone into a weekly newsletter. Automated nurture also lifts event results: ON24 found nurture sequences drove 32% more live webinar attendees and 69% higher on-demand attendance.
