On a past thread, we discussed some of the ways that workflows can trigger your team internally. You can use them to automate data clean up or to trigger notifications to your sales team.
Now, let’s discuss ways you can use workflows to engage your leads and customers.
For example, one of my all-time favorite ways to use workflows is to re-engage leads that have abandoned their shopping cart.
The concept here is simple: When someone adds an item to their online shopping cart but leaves your site without completing the purchase, you can trigger an email workflow that reminds them of their forgotten purchase and motivates them to Live the transaction by offering a special discount code or some other incentive to buy.
That’s my favorite use workflows! How are you currently using yours? Sound off in the comments below.
We will be using workflows for post-conference follow-ups, lead nurturing, re-engage customers and follow-up post-sales (with the idea to engage for consumable purchases).
We are just beginning to use workflows for post-conference workflows. It's a great way to build brand awareness with content offers that are contextually valuable for our buyer personas
Right now, we are using workflows to nurture the leads. Unfortunately for school recruitment, there are no easy offers like offering quick discounts or sending shopping cart reminders.
However, when I think about purchasing clothes online, I also like the re-engagement emails about similar offers to what I have bought before.
