Zoho CRM Cadences

From Lead to Conversion: Automate Your Follow-ups with Zoho CRM Cadences

Hello everyone,

In today's dynamic world of customer relationships, businesses must adopt distinct and personalized engagement strategies to stand out. The era of one-size-fits-all communications and broad email campaigns is long behind us. Modern customers demand engagement that feels customized, meaningful, and truly addresses their needs. Enter Zoho CRM's latest innovation: Cadences—a tool designed to enhance customer interactions while streamlining complex workflows.
What are Cadences?  
Cadences in Zoho CRM automate and simplify customer follow-up processes. This tool allows users to create tailored, sequential communications—such as emails, calls, or tasks—based on customer behavior and interactions. Perfect for sales and marketing teams, Cadences ensure consistent, personalized follow-ups with leads and prospects until a desired action is completed.


More than just an automation tool for follow-ups, Cadences offer a transformative way to manage customer engagements.

Traditionally, handling responsive follow-ups required building multiple workflows with varied conditions. Cadences change this by consolidating all these actions into one streamlined sequence, drastically reducing the complexity.
Consider a scenario where you're sending multiple event reminders via email, and you want to stop once a customer responds or the event date passes.

Previously, this would involve creating several workflows, each with its own rules. Cadences Studio now simplifies this process, enabling you to manage everything in a single interface, saving time and reducing complexity.
​
Cadences are strategically designed to optimize your sales and marketing efforts, ensuring that every customer interaction—from the initial touchpoint to their eventual removal from the cadence—is meaningful and personalized.

    Versatility of Cadences  

    Cadences are flexible enough to be adapted for various business scenarios.

    • Real Estate: Respond to inquiries, schedule property visits, and nurture leads with timely, relevant information. Cadences allow realtors to effectively engage with prospects, increasing the chances of turning leads into happy homeowners.

    • E-commerce: Automatically collect feedback after purchases, prompt for reviews, and address negative experiences proactively. Cadences help online retailers build stronger relationships with customers, driving continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

Key highlights of Cadences 
  • Automated sequential follow-ups
    Cadences allow businesses to create automated sequences of actions, triggered based on customer responses—or lack thereof. For example, if a customer opens an email but doesn’t reply, another email can be automatically sent. If an email bounces, a different message can be sent based on the cadence rules.


  • Intelligent automation
    The automation doesn’t end with follow-ups. Cadences intelligently unenroll contacts once the desired outcome is achieved, enabling teams to focus on the most relevant interactions without wasting time on redundant follow-ups.


  • Multiple follow-up capabilities
    Move beyond traditional email follow-ups by incorporating phone calls and tasks into your sequences. Cadences enable a multi-channel approach, allowing you to engage customers through their preferred means of communication.

  • Robust analytics
    Cadences offer in-depth analytics to help you understand customer engagement. Track campaign performance and customer behavior to gain insights that can help refine strategies. These analytics are vital for enhancing engagement and optimizing your overall CRM efforts.

  • How to Set Up Cadences  

    The process of setting up Cadences involves selecting your target audience and configuring up to three types of follow-ups—emails, tasks, and calls—with options to suit the unique needs of your campaign.

Selecting the Target Audience:

Choose between manual enrollment or custom views in your desired module for precise targeting.



First follow-up configuration
The first follow-up can be an email, task, or call. You can also choose when to trigger the first follow-up, based on customer activity.


Responsive follow-up configuration
Subsequent follow-ups can be configured based on customer actions. For example, if the first email is opened or clicked, the next follow-up could be a personalized phone call or task depending on customer engagement.

In summary, Cadences empower businesses to automate and personalize lead engagement, enhancing the efficiency of CRM strategies and fostering stronger customer relationships. By streamlining follow-up processes and delivering more meaningful interactions, Cadences can drive business growth and improve customer retention.
