Lead Nurture Sequence Prompt
Prompt
Help me design a lead nurture email sequence. Product/service: [describe] Lead source: [how did they opt in? e.g. content download, webinar, free trial] Typical sales cycle length: [e.g. 2 weeks, 3 months] Goal of the sequence: [e.g. get them to book a demo, upgrade from free, purchase] Please design: 1. Sequence overview: how many emails, over what timeframe 2. For each email: send timing, subject line, goal, and key message 3. Branching logic: what happens if they click vs don't engage? 4. The exit criteria: when does a lead graduate to sales-ready? 5. 2–3 segments I should consider treating differently
Why it works
Asking for sequence overview (email count and timeframe) before individual email specs ensures the architecture is right before writing copy — a 3-email sequence for a 2-week sales cycle and a 10-email sequence for a 3-month cycle have completely different pacing logic. Including lead source as input is critical: a webinar attendee and a content download lead have different levels of intent and need different nurture tracks. Goal-first design prevents sequences from becoming informational without driving action.
Watch out for
The AI will produce a well-structured nurture architecture, but subject lines and email copy need testing against your actual list — open rates and click rates depend on brand familiarity and list quality that the AI cannot account for. The sequence timing (days between emails) is based on typical B2B or B2C patterns; adjust based on your actual sales cycle length and product trial period.
