Track II — Marketing · Module 2B 2.5 hrs

About this module

Lead generation is only the beginning of the sales process. Many businesses lose potential customers because they fail to consistently follow up, build trust, and guide prospects toward a buying decision. This workshop teaches entrepreneurs how to systematically nurture leads using practical communication, relationship-building, timing, and follow-up techniques.

Participants will learn how to create structured nurturing systems that increase conversion rates without becoming overly aggressive or time-consuming. The module focuses on real-world approaches suitable for small businesses operating in Ontario and across Canada.

The workshop emphasizes practical implementation using email, phone calls, CRM tools, social media, appointment follow-ups, educational content, and customer relationship tracking. Participants will also learn how to identify buying signals, segment leads, and prioritize high-potential opportunities.

Who should enroll

Small business owners who follow up once and give up when they don't hear back

Founders who want to increase revenue from existing leads before chasing new ones
Service-based businesses that rely on consultations, quotes, or proposals to close sales
Anyone who wants a repeatable, low-pressure system for turning interest into revenue

This 2.5-hour workshop is structured around six teaching blocks, each paired with a practical exercise you complete using your own business as the case study.

01
Why Lead Nurturing Determines Revenue
Why most sales require multiple touchpoints, why businesses lose leads through inaction, and how nurturing interested prospects is faster and cheaper than constantly acquiring new ones.
02
Lead Segmentation & Qualification
How to categorize leads by readiness, fit, and priority using a simple scoring system. Participants complete a lead qualification scorecard for their own pipeline and learn how to focus energy on the highest-potential opportunities.
03
Building Structured Follow-Up Systems
How to design multi-touchpoint follow-up sequences across email, phone, and social media without overwhelming prospects. Timing, cadence, messaging tone, and when to walk away from a lead that isn't engaging.
04
Email, Phone & Social Nurturing Tactics
Platform-specific nurturing strategies — what to say in a follow-up email vs. a voicemail vs. a LinkedIn message. Includes ready-to-use scripts, email templates, and voicemail formulas participants can take and use immediately.
05
Recognizing Buying Signals & Handling Objections
How to identify when a prospect is ready to buy and how to move the conversation toward a decision without applying pressure. Common objections, how to track them, and proven response frameworks for small business sales.
06
Pipeline Tracking & Nurturing KPIs
How to manage a sales pipeline using simple CRM tools and spreadsheets, measure conversion rates at each stage, and build a nurturing dashboard that keeps your follow-up consistent and your forecasting accurate.
