Use Act-On to maximize the potential of contacts not yet in your CRM to be MQLs with the following two steps:
Step 1: Nurture Your non-CRM Contacts
Create a nurturing process for your non-CRM contacts as follows:
A. Segment the Contacts
The contacts will likely be at different stages; some nearly MQLs some completely new. Segment the contacts based on their buying stages, for example using lead scoring, AI predictive lead score, or custom touch points. For more details, see Creating a Segment and Create buying stages segments.
B. Create Targeted Content
