Hi Team. I am wondering the best way to nurture contacts and orgs that aren't ready to buy now, but I want to keep an eye on them and come back to them. I do not want to put them into an automated email sequence - rather I want to "store" them somewhere and remind me to get back in touch in 3/6 months etc. Any thoughts on the best approach. I thought about moving them to a nurture pipeline, and also using tags. How are people currently solving this problem?

    Hi @Jamie Pride I understand your question and wondered if you are using the Leads inbox? 

    In terms of keeping them as deals, having a nurturing Pipeline is a good method, you can use Automation to set up activities to check in after a certain date, the date trigger could be the date in which the Lead/Deal was created. 

    Or if you do have a custom field which can trigger this and ensure that you set up activity automation for 3 months and then another in 6 months. With the new Automation 2.0 you can be more specific around conditions and setting further automated steps.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks Edie. Appreciated. Yes I do use the leads module, but would prefer to keep that for top of funnel activity - and separate out the qualified/but later contacts. Will definitely have an experiment with the pipeline approach.
