10 Best Practices for Nurturing Online Leads

1cc73020-43bf-56a2-9d3f-db70d896041b

More and more care seekers are discovering care options in their area through online research. To optimize these online leads, here are some of the best practices you can follow:

Acknowledge Receipt

Schedule an immediate auto-response email confirming lead receipt with a brief "Thank you" and assurance of future contact

Respect Communication Preferences

Recognize the diverse reasons for choosing online forms over direct calls. Be considerate of preferred communication modes and honor requests for email-only responses. Reasons for such a request can range from a busy work schedule to the need for written communication for the hard of hearing, and your respect for their needs will go a long way.

Quick Follow-Up Matters

Respond promptly to each lead within the same day, addressing queries comprehensively. Delayed responses can significantly reduce connection rates, so try to get in touch while their search is on their mind.

Personalized Follow-Up Email

Craft detailed follow-up emails referencing information from care request notes or phone conversations. Customize responses to common topics such as rates, availability, and care options to highlight your attention to detail and care for them as an individual.

Set Expectations

Communicate the next steps in the decision-making process, guiding the customer towards actions like scheduling a tour or attending an event.

Prioritize Leads

Identify families closer to decision-making. Factors like memory problems, medication management, caregiving hours, or recent incidents can indicate urgency.

Regular Check-Ins

Send follow-up emails after one and three weeks, revisiting initial topics and directly asking for further discussion, tours, or addressing additional questions.

Nurture Campaign

Initiate an email nurture campaign every 2 to 4 weeks for leads that haven't progressed. Deliver valuable content, maintain warmth, and showcase your organization's personality.

Choosing Tools for Campaigns

Depending on your business size, manage campaigns via email clients or consider specialized tools for streamlined communication and lead monitoring.

Enhanced Listing on Caring.com

Boost your business online by partnering with Caring. From an expanded online presence with a gold-star listing to online reputation management, Caring is here to help you maximize your sales potential and convert more leads.

  • Develop content for nurture campaigns.
