How to Solve Limited Post-Webinar Follow-Up

Go-to-market teams invest heavily in webinars for lead generation. Ineffective post-webinar follow-up wastes these efforts, diminishing ROI and losing potential customers. Automating personalized outreach and nurture campaigns solves this problem, maximizing webinar ROI. The right GTM AI strategy transforms limited post-webinar follow-up into a powerful conversion tool.

How to Maximize Webinar ROI with Automated Lead Follow-Up and Nurturing

The Inbound Lead Processing package from Copy.ai includes two powerful workflows that solve limited post-webinar follow-up:

• Contact Follow-Up for timely, personalized outreach to each lead
• Email Nurture Campaign to keep leads engaged with relevant content

These workflows ensure every webinar attendee receives immediate follow-up and ongoing nurturing, increasing conversion rates. Here's how:

1. Contact Follow-Up Workflow

Part of the Inbound Lead Processing package This workflow automates personalized follow-up to each webinar attendee.‍

Inputs Needed:

• All of the research and data gathered on the contact to this point

‍What the Workflow Does:

• Step 1: Analyzes the attendee list to identify each lead's key characteristics and interests
• Step 2: Generates a tailored follow-up email for each attendee based on their profile
• Step 3: Sends the personalized emails automatically to each attendee
• Step 4: Notifies the appropriate sales rep if/when an attendee takes a key action (e.g. clicks to schedule a call)

This workflow delivers prompt, relevant outreach to every lead, while minimizing manual effort. Personalized follow-up significantly increases response rates and accelerates leads through the funnel.

Example in Action: A B2B SaaS company hosts a webinar on "10 Ways AI Improves Sales Productivity". The Contact Follow-Up workflow:

1. Identifies an attendee as a VP of Sales from a mid-market company
2. Generates an email highlighting the sales productivity benefits, with a case study similar to their company
3. Sends the personalized email 1 day after the webinar
4. Alerts the sales rep when the attendee clicks the CTA to book a demo

2. Email Nurture Campaign Workflow

Part of the Inbound Lead Processing package This workflow automates ongoing lead nurturing to keep them engaged post-webinar until they convert.

‍Inputs Needed:

• Lead source information (e.g., webinar attendance, content download, demo request)
• Data from previous research and interactions

What the Workflow Does:

• Step 1: Analyzes webinar engagement data to gauge each lead's interest level and key topics
• Step 2: Creates an email nurture sequence for leads based on their engagement and interests
• Step 3: Curates relevant content (blog posts, guides, case studies, event invites) to share with leads over time
• Step 4: Sends the emails automatically on a defined schedule
• Step 5: Passes engaged leads to sales for follow-up when they take key actions

This workflow automates thoughtful lead nurturing, preventing leads from going cold post-webinar. Useful content mapped to leads' interests builds trust and maintains top-of-mind awareness until they're ready to buy.

Example in Action: After the "10 Ways AI Improves Sales Productivity" webinar, the workflow:

1. Identifies leads highly engaged with sales coaching content
2. Generates an email sequence featuring sales coaching tips, product videos, and SDR team benchmarks
3. Pulls in a new eBook on "Sales Coaching Best Practices" and invites to an upcoming sales leader event
4. Sends lead nurture emails every 5 business days
5. Notifies sales if a lead clicks through to the pricing page from any email

Putting Them Together

The Contact Follow-Up and Email Nurture Campaign workflows combine to provide end-to-end lead engagement from initial webinar follow-up to sales handoff. Leads receive immediate personalized outreach, then steady value-add touches, increasing their likelihood of becoming opportunities and customers.

Go-to-market teams implementing these workflows will see:

• Faster speed-to-lead and lead qualification
• Higher webinar lead engagement rates
• Increased lead-to-opportunity and opportunity-to-close rates
• More efficient use of marketing and sales resources

A GTM AI Platform automating post-webinar follow-up and nurturing maximizes webinar ROI and GTM Velocity. It eliminates the GTM Bloat of manual, one-size-fits-all follow-up processes.

Why Copilots Aren't Sufficient

Standalone AI writing tools like ChatGPT help draft contact follow-up and lead nurture emails. Yet they lack key capabilities:

• Integrating with CRMs and marketing automation to access lead data and trigger sends
• Analyzing lead characteristics and behaviors to personalize content
• Curating the most relevant content to share across the customer journey
• Tracking email and conversion metrics to measure performance

GTM teams relying solely on these tools still face manual work, disconnected lead data, and an inability to track ROI. A purpose-built GTM AI Platform like Copy.ai's workflows proves essential.

Looking Ahead

Automated contact follow-up and email nurturing establish the foundation for go-to-market teams to maximize their webinar programs. To accelerate lead conversion further, these workflows expand to include:

• Lead scoring to auto-prioritize sales-ready leads
• Dynamic landing pages to tailor webinar registration and offer pages by lead
• Chatbots to engage webinar attendees in real-time and answer FAQs
• Social media content to promote webinars and attract target buyers

Copy.ai's full suite of workflows empowers GTM teams to amplify their webinars' impact on pipeline and revenue. A comprehensive GTM AI strategy unlocks webinar ROI by overcoming limited post-webinar follow-up.
