Quick overview
This document delivers a full end-to-end email program to nurture and convert leads for a B2B SaaS marketing automation tool. It includes:
Buyer personas & conversion goals
Segmentation rules and lifecycle stages
A 12–email core nurture sequence (welcome → product value → proof → trial/demo conversion)
Follow-up sequences (demo no-shows, trial users, churn prevention)
Persuasive email copy (ready to paste)
Subject lines + preview text options
Automation flows with triggers, delays, and conditional splits
HubSpot-specific implementation notes (lists, workflows, SMART content)
Testing & optimization plan and KPI tracking
Step-by-step launch checklist
1) Target personas & goals
Primary persona: Marketing Ops / Head of Demand Gen at mid-market (50–500 employees) SaaS companies.
Secondary persona: Marketing Manager / Revenue Ops at SMBs (10–49 employees).
Pain points: fragmented martech stack, slow lead follow-up, low conversion rates from campaigns, manual workflows.
Primary conversion goals:
Book a demo (high-intent) — primary KPI
Start free trial or activate POC — secondary KPI
Attend a webinar / download ROI calculator — lead-scoring events
Success metrics to track:
Open rate, CTR, reply rate
MQL → SQL conversion rate
Demo booked rate from email
Trial activation rate and time-to-first-success
Revenue influenced (3/6/12 months)
2) Segmentation & lifecycle stages
Segments (example):
New leads (first-touch) — unknown engagement
MQL (scored leads meeting baseline score)
Demo-booked
Trial started
Trial active but not converted
Existing customers (upsell/cross-sell flows)
Key lead properties to capture: company size, role, website, source, campaign, intent signals (visited pricing, visited demo page), trial start date.
Lead scoring: assign points for product page visits, pricing view (+20), demo request (+40), webinar attendance (+30), email clicks (+5). Threshold to MQL = 60.
3) Core 12-email nurture sequence (goal: demo or trial)
Cadence: Day 0 (welcome) → Day 2 → Day 5 → Day 9 → Day 14 → Day 21 → Day 30 → Day 45 → Day 60 → Day 75 → Day 90 → Day 120
Each email contains 1 focused CTA. Add behavioral triggers that accelerate the sequence (e.g., clicks on pricing skip to conversion-stage sequence).
Email 0 — Welcome & Offer value (Day 0)
Subject line options: Welcome — here’s how to fix [main pain], or Quick win: reduce manual campaign setup by 50%.
Preview text: A 2‑minute setup that saves hours every week.

B) Trial user onboarding sequence (if trial starts)
Day 0 (trial start): Welcome + 1‑click setup guide
Day 1: Quick wins checklist (2 actions to see value)
Day 3: Video: First automation in 5 minutes
Day 7: Health check (in-app message + AE reachout if high intent)
Day 12: ROI reminder + upgrade CTA
Day 14: Last day — offer onboarding or discount
Key automation: If trial user completes "first automation" event, route to success team and downgrade frequency of educational emails.
C) Trial churn / inactive sequence
Detect inactivity at 3 days: trigger re‑engagement email with 1-click setup or 15-min help call
If no engagement by Day 7: send case study showing time-to-value
5) Automation flows & logic (visualized steps)
Flow A — New Lead → Nurture → Demo Convert
Trigger: lead captured via form or list import → enroll in nurture workflow.
Send Email 0 immediately.
Wait 2 days. If clicked demo CTA or visited /pricing, increase lead score + send Email 1. If not clicked, send Email 1 anyway.
At any point, if lead score ≥ 60 or clicks "Book demo", create task for AE and move to Demo-booked list → send confirmation email.
Flow B — Demo no-show → Reschedule (see follow-up sequence above)
Flow C — Trial start → Onboarding (see trial onboarding sequence above)
Conditional splits
Behavioral split: clicked CTA vs not clicked
Firmographic split: company size >= 50 employees show different case studies
Tech stack split: if has HubSpot property set, show HubSpot integration content
Delays & pacing:
Use exponential backoff for low-engagement leads (2, 4, 8, 16 days) to avoid fatigue.
Pause or reduce cadence for MQLs being actively worked by SDR/AEs.
6) HubSpot-specific implementation notes (since you work at HubSpot)
Objects & properties to use:
Contact properties: lifecycle_stage, lead_score, product_interest, last_engaged
Company properties: company_size, industry
Deal pipelines: Demo → Trial → Conversion
Lists & workflows:
Smart List: "New leads — Last 14 days"
Workflow: "Nurture — New Lead to MQL" (start on form submission)
Workflow actions: send email, set lead score, rotate owner, create task, branch on property
Smart content: show different hero content in emails for HubSpot customers vs non-HubSpot.
Sequences vs Workflows:
Use Sequences for 1:1 AE outreach (personalized cadence). Use Workflows for automated mass nurture.
Templates & snippets:
Save the email copy as templates in Marketing Email and AE Snippets for quick sending.
Use Meeting links in CTAs for demo booking.
7) Subject line & preview text optimization
Test 3 variations per major email: benefit-led, curiosity-led, social proof.
Use dynamic personalization: {{firstName}}, {{companyName}}, {{productPainPoint}}.
Keep subject length ≤ 50 characters on mobile.
Examples to A/B test:
Benefit vs question: "Reduce campaign ops time by 50%" vs "Want faster campaign ops?"
Social proof vs data: "How Acme doubled MQLs" vs "+120% MQLs in 90 days"
8) A/B testing & measurement plan
Test ideas:
CTA type: "Book demo" vs "Start trial"
Sender name: CEO vs AE vs product specialist
Length: short vs long-form email
Measure: use HubSpot reports to track opens, clicks, replies, MQL→SQL conversion over rolling 30/60/90 days.
9) Implementation checklist (step-by-step)
Prep content & assets
Finalize personas, case studies, and 12 email templates (copy in this doc).

10) Quick-win tactics to maximize conversions
Use meeting links inside emails for 1-click demo booking.

Use social proof in near-CTA placement (1-line testimonial beside CTA).
Include one very specific micro-commitment in each email (watch 2-min video, open ROI calculator).
Use progressive profiling to collect missing high-value properties slowly.
11) Example KPIs & targets (first 90 days)
Open rate: 25–40% (varies by list)
CTR: 3–8%
