If you walked by a group of people holding up signs that said “We Love Your Web Tools” would you stop and talk to them, or just keep walking?

In essence, when you are selling a web tool, or SaaS product, but browse past digital marketing communities, you are doing exactly this. It can’t make that much of a difference, can it? In short, YES, hell yes!

So your business is raring to go, and your marketing plan is all set. You’re ready to capture those all-important leads and dazzle them with everything your product has to offer. However, once you have finally gotten the attention of your ideal customers, what then?

As strange as it may seem, some businesses never fully develop that critical next step. Getting a prospect’s attention is only the beginning of a long road toward transforming your fresh leads into the loyal customers and promoters of your business that you so sorely need for success (read more about that in the SaaS Marketing Journey). This is precisely where lead nurturing campaigns for SaaS kick in.

You’ve already gotten your prospects aware of your product and committed to a free trial. Now it should just be a matter of time before they become paying customers, right? Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy to get trial users to convert to premium subscribers, even when they’ve been able to gain some hands-on experience with your product. Luckily, hope is not lost when it comes to getting your SaaS leads to take that leap into the premium version of your product.
