Clicks, replies, content visits
PROGRESS

Nurture, qualify, or hand off
Important: opens can be distorted by privacy features and security systems. Treat them as directional data.

Continue helpful nurture
Personalise the next touch
Qualify and consider sales
Share educational content; avoid overreacting to a single open.
Reference relevant topics, role, industry, or previous engagement.
Combine account fit, repeated activity, and a relevant business need.
A single open should not automatically trigger a sales handoff.

MORE RELEVANT
“Just following up on my last email. Let me know if you’re interested.”
“You explored our guide on [topic]. Would a short checklist for [business challenge] be useful?”
Personalise around the prospect’s role, industry, problem, and previous interaction. Keep the next step simple.
