    3. Use email marketing software to send targeted campaigns to leads, offering valuable content and promotions.

Lead Conversion

Lead conversion is the process of turning leads into paying customers.

Customer Ascension

Customer ascension refers to the process of moving customers to higher levels of engagement or value within your business. It involves encouraging customers to upgrade their purchases, buy additional products or services, or become repeat customers. Customer ascension is about building long-term relationships with customers, increasing their lifetime value, and turning them into brand advocates.

Customer Retention

Customer retention is the process of keeping existing customers engaged and satisfied with your products or services. It involves building strong relationships with customers, providing excellent customer service, and continuously delivering value.
