Agency Lead Nurture With Frequency Decay

Stay useful to an inbound B2B prospect while respecting timing and reducing frequency as the lead remains inactive.

3 emails · Day 21 timing question, day 60 scoped resource, day 120 quarterly opt-down; yield immediately to any active opportunity. · 3 platform options

Bottom line

An inbound prospect has no active quote, proposal, meeting, customer project, reply, or explicit decline after the configured threshold.

Best for

Inbound B2B leads with original context and a known timing or decision blocker.

Use when

Use the documented timing (Day 21 timing question, day 60 scoped resource, day 120 quarterly opt-down; yield immediately to any active opportunity.) only while the recipient still needs this follow-up.

Watch for

Cold lists, explicit declines, active opportunities, or current customers.
