with the skill
Yes. Since these leads have downloaded your whitepaper, this should be a **nurture sequence**, not a cold outreach campaign. The emails should build on the topic they showed interest in and guide them toward one relevant next step.
To tailor the copy and automation, send me:
- **Whitepaper:** Title, topic, or the document itself.
- **Audience:** Who downloads it, and what problem does your product solve for them?
- **Goal:** Book a demo, start a trial, get a reply, or something else?
- **Platform:** HubSpot, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, or another tool?
- **Permission:** What does the download form say about receiving follow-up marketing emails?
### Suggested starting sequence
| Timing | Email | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Immediately | Deliver the whitepaper | Provide the download link and highlight one useful takeaway. |
| Day 2 | Help them apply it | Share one practical action related to the whitepaper. |
| Day 5 | Show a relevant example | Use a verified customer story or worked example to make the advice concrete. |
| Day 9 | Address a common obstacle | Answer a question that could keep them from taking action. |
| Day 14 | Offer the next step | Invite them to the demo, trial, or conversation that fits their interest. |

Each email should have **one primary CTA**. Early emails should help them use what they downloaded rather than immediately push a meeting.
### Automation rules
- **Trigger:** A successful whitepaper form submission.
- **Eligibility:** Send ongoing nurture emails only where the appropriate permission or legal basis exists. Keep requested whitepaper delivery separate from marketing eligibility.
- **Prevent duplicates:** Don’t restart the sequence for repeat downloads.
- **Exit conditions:** Stop on unsubscribe, complaint, hard bounce, or the desired conversion.
- **Reply handling:** Pause the sequence when someone replies and route the conversation to the right person.
- **Existing contacts:** Exclude or route customers and active sales opportunities to more appropriate follow-up.
- **Measurement:** Track replies, conversions, unsubscribes, and bounces. Don’t use opens alone to trigger branches; privacy features make them unreliable.
