When your marketing automation follow up is set up correctly you will segment your leads and customers into specific buying or behavior types.

This means you can follow up based on a person’s specific interests, which shows them that you have a deeper understanding of their needs and what is important to them.

With this in mind, let’s now look at the top 6 benefits of marketing automation follow up with prospects and customers…

1. Build Better Relationships

If you automate the repetitive follow-up processes that your business has, prospects will not slip through the cracks, they will never receive an irrelevant or untimely message or feel ignored by your business.

Those who complain that marketing automation follow up removes the human element from your business is clearly not doing it correctly.

2. Capture and Nurture Leads 24/7

If someone requests a Lead Magnet in the middle of the night, your delivery sequence ensures it’s delivered to that person’s inbox within minutes.

3. Give People What They Desire
