When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use as a low-frequency, indefinite safety net for the Lead population, separate from higher-intensity nurture tracks that run for a few weeks and then stop.
  • Use when the account has recurring, genuinely useful content on a quarterly cadence (a report, a webinar series, a product update roundup).

Skip it

  • Do not use this as the only nurture a Lead receives; pair it with a faster-paced track for the first weeks after conversion (lead-nurturing-001) and let this one take over after that track ends.
  • Do not enroll contacts already inside an active named campaign nurture at the same time without checking for send fatigue.
