USE CASE

Build a multi-month nurture sequence

Use case: Run multi-month lead-nurture sequences that survive deploys

B2B buying cycles in finance, professional services, and enterprise SaaS routinely run 60-180 days from first inquiry to signed contract. Most email platforms that handle daily broadcasts struggle with sequences that span months — enrollments drop during platform deploys, delays drift, branches get stuck. Webanto's nurture use case runs on a durable workflow engine designed exactly for these long-cycle sequences: every step is a durable job, every delay survives worker restarts, every branch logs cleanly so you can see exactly where each enrolled lead is sitting in the funnel.

What to expect

  • Sequences that reliably run for 60-180 days without enrollment drop or delay drift.

  • Branch logic based on engagement signals (opens, clicks, link-specific behaviour) that route leads to specific tracks.

  • Operational visibility — see exactly where each enrolled lead is in the sequence, including failed-step diagnostics.

  • Clean handoff from nurture to sales-qualified-lead status via tag-based exit conditions.

How to set this up

  1. 1

    Map the buyer journey you want to nurture — typical inquiry → consideration → evaluation → decision stages with realistic durations between each.

  2. 2

    In Email Marketing, create a new automation triggered by the lead-capture event (form submission, content download, demo request).

  3. 3

    Build the first phase — 2-3 emails over the first 2 weeks introducing the company and offering practical value.

  4. 4

    Add a 30-day delay, then phase 2 — case studies and product-specific content for leads still engaged.

  5. 5

    Add branch conditions based on engagement: highly-engaged leads route to a sales-ready track; quiet leads route to a re-engagement track.

  6. 6

    Add the final phase — direct conversion ask for the engaged track, gentle reactivation for the quiet track.

  7. 7

    Add exit conditions: convert-to-customer exits the sequence cleanly; manual sales-qualified tag also exits.

Products that power this use case

Frequently asked questions

  • Will a 90-day delay actually survive that long?

    Yes. Webanto's workflow engine persists every delay durably — the underlying job system handles deploys, worker restarts, and infrastructure changes without losing enrollment state.

  • Can I edit the sequence while leads are mid-flow?

    Yes. Edits to a future step apply to enrollments that have not yet reached that step. Edits to a step that some leads have already passed do not affect them.

  • How do I tell when a lead is ready for sales?

    Engagement scoring runs continuously based on opens, clicks, and recency. You can set a tag or exit condition triggered when score crosses a threshold, signalling sales-ready status.

  • What happens if a lead unsubscribes mid-sequence?

    They are removed from all active automations and added to the global suppression list — they will not receive future sends from any campaign or sequence.

  • How do I structure the content for a 90-day B2B nurture sequence?

    A common structure for professional services and enterprise SaaS: weeks 1-2 are practical value (how-to content, no pitch), weeks 3-6 alternate between a case study and a product-relevant insight, weeks 7-10 introduce a direct conversation offer for engaged leads and send a softer re-engagement for quiet leads, and weeks 11-13 include a final conversion offer or a preference-centre step. The exact timing and content should reflect your actual buyer's journey rather than a generic template.
