Print Money With Keap Multi-Media Follow-Up Sequences

Delay timers operate the way they sound, i.e., once a Goal is reached—a webform is completed, a name is uploaded and Tagged, etc.—you set the amount of time you want to pass before the next step happens.

When someone opts in to receive a free report or register for a webinar, you would set the Delay Timer to "No Delay."

However, if they visit your trade show booth, you may want to wait a few minutes to even a few hours before you email them to say "Thanks for stopping by the booth," since it might be kinda awkward for them to get a notification from you as they are still standing in your booth speaking with you.

Again, if this is a webinar registration or free report request, run it immediately on Any Day. There is no reason to delay giving a hungry prospect what they want in those instances.

However, as you build out your drip sequence to nurture your prospects or even to deliver content a customer purchased, you may want to wait a day or a week.

Maybe you lead a group call or training every Monday or on the first Wednesday of the month, you can set that delay here.

Finally, the exact time of day can be set. 

Once again, if I'm offering a free report or webinar, and your register at 11 PM on a Saturday night, I'm going to set this to "Any Time" to send you the email confirmation.

However, when I send a reminder for the webinar, I may want to only send the text reminder at during typical working hours or at a specific time in their time zone

Date Timers

Date Timers are just what the name implies.

Rather than waiting one minute or one day or one week before you send a report or a reminder, now you are hard-coding the exact day and time you want the next step to happen.

Personally, I minimize my usage of Date Timers inside of my Keap application, because if I want to clone a Campaign or Sequence to accelerate my deployment of a similar drip sequence, all of these Date Timers must be manually updated.

That being said, maybe you do a weekly or monthly or quarterly event that is not promoted until after the conclusion of next event, you could keep things simple and use just one Keap Campaign and edit the dates for the actions or Processes each time you reuse the Campaign.

There ain't nuthin' wrong wit dat, mmkay?

So if that's how you roll, knock yo'self out.

Field Timers

Now here is where the "experts" become the experts.

Field Timers are set to fire before or after a certain Date/Time Field in the Contact's record.

This could be a standard field such as birthday or anniversary, or a custom field such as a webinar date, next appointment, or when a customer's warranty is about to expire.

In the case of a follow-up sequence created to take a trade show booth visitor from prospect to customer, maybe you send them a text with a link to schedule a demo.

Since "Create Appointment" is a Goal, once the appointment is set, the Trade Show Campaign could pass the prospect over to a "Demo Appointment" reminder campaign that sets the Custom Field on their contact record to next Tuesday at 10 AM, and then sends them the following:

• Immediately:
  • Confirmation email
  • Confirmation text
  • Task to staff to send welcome package or literature in the mail
  • Task to salesperson
    • Research prospect
    • Connect & engage with prospect on social media
• 24 hours prior to demo
  • Reminder email with link to reschedule if something has come up
  • Reminder text with request to confirm
• Morning of the appointment
  • Task to staff to call to remind/confirm
  • Reminder text one hour prior to appointment
• Post-Appointment/Demo
  • Closed/Won
    • Email receipt/confirmation
    • Assign ownership to fulfillment team
    • Task executive staff to call/text/email thank you message
    • Change status of contact from prospect to customer to delight by delivering a "WOW" experience (See "The A.B.C.D.E.™ Sales & Marketing System")
    • Drip on new customer with welcome series
    • Send an NPS survey one week/one month/90 days later
    • If they are happy with the process, ask for a referral and a testimonial

• • Move to next step
    • Send thank you, summary of meeting, and next steps via email
    • Send booking link for next meeting via email and text if not set in last meeting
    • Assign Task to salesperson to update Opportunity stage and stay in touch
    • Repeat reminder series for next meeting
  • Closed/Lost
    • One hour after meeting: send thank you email and letter for considering you
    • One day after meeting: send survey/questionnaire via email
    • Add to longterm nurture sequence (if they considered you once, they will consider you again if you stay in touch)

Fix Your Follow-Up Failure

The key to success in sales has always been in the follow-up.

Out-of-sight is still out-of-mind.

Just because someone requests more information, schedules a demo, or agrees to meet, doesn't mean they will buy.

Just because someone buys, doesn't mean they are happy with the process or the product.

Just because someone buys, doesn't mean they will give you a referral.

Just because someone buys, doesn't mean they will give you a testimonial.

In none of the correspondence steps I outlined above must you send the next great American novel.

Remember, quantity has a quality all its own.

Just stay in touch. 

Give your prospects a gentle nudge.

Keep your finger on the pulse of the opportunity so you can identify and remedy issues before they blow up in your face.
