Example Campaign:Post Transaction Follow-Up

The Cloze Campaigns feature is included as part of the Cloze Business Platinum Plan.

GOAL: Strengthen your relationship after the purchase or sale has closed.

This post-transaction follow-up Campaign is designed to help strengthen your relationship with the buyer(s) or seller(s) after the purchase or sale.

What this campaign does:

It tied to the first Next Step for a Past Buyer or Past Seller. So it starts as soon as a Buyer or Seller is set to the Past (or Closed).
It pauses between campaigns steps to spread the follow-up out over the year
It pauses automatically when you’re actively talking so there’s no “crosstalk”
At the end of one year it switches to a long-term nurture campaign.

This campaign includes automated actions (like sending an email or adding a todo) and waiting in between these actions before triggering the next Campaign step.

Steps Used in this Campaign:

A couple of tips:

Tip #1: Sketch out your campaign

Add all of the steps you wish to include in your Campaign first, and then go back and add all the details. This gives you a high-level view before you dig into the specifics.

Tip #2: Use Placeholders for templates

If you have not yet created a template you can use a placeholder instead. You can then return to the placeholder template in the Cloze Library to add your content at a later time. This is helpful when you are sketching out a campaign, but haven't yet created all of the content.

3.) Link it to the appropriate Next Step

Once you have created the Campaign you can link it to the "Post Transaction Follow-up" Next Step in Settings.

Before you link the Campaign to the Next Step, you must first enable a Follow-up Template on the Next Step (please see tip #2 below). Once the template is enabled you can link the Campaign to the "Post Transaction Follow-up" Next Step.

Here are additional details on how Campaigns start and instructions on how to link a Campaign to each of the above items.

A few more tips:

Tip #1: Cloze has two Styles of Next Steps. Set the Style to Process Mode to ensure it automatically triggers when you set someone to a Past Buyer or Past Seller.

Next Steps can either act like a Process, where steps should be done in sequence, or like a Task List, where steps can be done in any order.

With a Process, as you mark steps done, you automatically advance to the next step.
With a Task List, you can mark steps done in any order, but you need to manually pick which step is the next step.
