Setting Up the Awareness Stage - Attracting the Right Audience

Automating Lead Capture at the Awareness Stage

In a marketplace full of competitors, standing out is essential.

The goal at the awareness stage is to capture the attention of potential customers and convert them into qualified leads.

Interest Stage - Keeping Potential Customers Engaged with the Right Content

Personalized Engagement to Nurture Interest

Now that you’ve caught their attention— it’s time to deepen their interest!

At this stage, it’s crucial to engage your leads with content that speaks directly to their needs and curiosities. But how can you do that effectively without adding extra work to your plate?

Here’s how it all comes together:

Imagine that a lead subscribes to your newsletter after reading a blog post on your site. 

Instead of sending a generic follow-up that might get lost in their inbox, they receive a series of emails that feel like they were written just for them.

Each email aligns perfectly with their interests—all thanks to the seamless integration of GetEmail.io and Zapier

These tools work together to automatically trigger personalized email sequences based on the lead’s specific actions, keeping them engaged and eager for more.

Then, Zapier steps in to handle the rest, automating the process so that each lead gets precisely the content they’re interested in, right when they’re most receptive to it.

It’s like having a savvy marketing assistant who knows exactly what each customer wants—and delivers it at the perfect moment.

Consideration Stage - Showcasing Your Unique Value Proposition

Consideration - Highlighting Your Unique Value Proposition

At this stage, your lead is weighing their options, evaluating whether your product or service is the right fit. 

This is the moment to provide them with the insights and information they need to tip the scales in your favor.

When a lead spends time exploring your website and decides to download a case study, that’s your cue to act.

Instead of leaving them to deliberate on their own, follow up immediately with tailored content that speaks directly to their needs—think testimonials, product demos, or even a direct invitation to connect with your sales team.

With GetEmail.io and Zapier, these follow-ups happen automatically, ensuring your lead stays engaged and moves steadily from consideration to decision.

Why does this matter?

As you see, it’s not just about sending emails—it’s about delivering value precisely when your lead is most receptive.

GetEmail.io ensures you’re working with verified, accurate data, while Zapier streamlines the process, automating these critical touchpoints to keep your lead’s journey smooth and on track.

Intent Stage - Guiding Leads Toward a Purchase Decision

Intent Stage - Guiding Leads Toward a Purchase Decision

When your leads reach the intent stage, they’re on the verge of making a purchase—they just need that final push. 

This is your opportunity to remove any lingering doubts and make the buying process as seamless as possible.

At this crucial moment, imagine a lead requesting a product demo. Instantly, your sales team is alerted, the demo is scheduled, and the lead receives a confirmation email—all without any manual effort on your part.

That’s the efficiency GetEmail.io and Zapier bring to the table.

By automating these key interactions, you ensure that every lead is attended to promptly, reducing the chances of them slipping through the cracks.

Why does it work?

Speed and accuracy are paramount at this stage. Agree?

Additionally, Zapier can connect to your scheduling tools, automatically finding an open slot on your calendar and sending invites to both your team and the lead.


This allows your team to focus on engaging with the lead and closing the deal, with all the logistics taken care of seamlessly in the background.

Purchase Stage - Ensuring a Smooth Transaction

Purchase Stage - Ensuring a Smooth Transaction

This is the moment you’ve been building toward—the point where your customer hits that “Buy” button. Ensuring a smooth transaction process is crucial to leaving a lasting positive impression on your customer.

Once a customer completes their purchase, you want everything to flow effortlessly.

With GetEmail.io and Zapier, this is exactly what happens.

Your customer immediately receives a confirmation email, a heartfelt thank-you note, and a helpful onboarding guide—all automatically. 

Meanwhile, their details are swiftly updated in your CRM, and your support team is alerted if any follow-up is needed.

It’s a hands-free process that makes sure everything is handled perfectly, creating a smooth and satisfying experience for the customer.

Why does it work so well?

GetEmail.io ensures that every communication you send is accurate, timely, and personalized as it gives you additional details such as the industry, role, or company size.

Our tool verifies email addresses in real-time, so your messages always reach the right person.

Through integration with Zapier, communications are triggered at just the right moments—whether it’s sending a confirmation email right after a purchase or a thank-you note that adds a personal touch.

Plus, with enriched data, your messages feel tailored to each customer, enhancing their overall experience.

The result?

A transaction process that’s polished and worry-free, leaving your customer feeling valued and well cared for.

Loyalty Stage - Building Long-Term Relationships

Loyalty Stage - Building Long-Term Relationships

The sale might be complete, but the relationship with your customer is just beginning. 

The loyalty stage is crucial for turning one-time buyers into repeat customers—and eventually, into enthusiastic advocates for your brand.

After a customer makes a purchase, it’s vital to maintain regular, meaningful contact.

With GetEmail.io and Zapier, you can automate personalized follow-ups that continue to nurture the relationship.

For example, a few weeks after their purchase, your customer automatically receives a tailored email asking for feedback and inviting them to join your loyalty program.

This kind of targeted post-sale engagement isn’t just convenient—it shows your customers that you care about their experience and value their continued business.

But what truly makes this approach so effective?

It’s the combination of GetEmail.io ensuring every message reaches the right person and Zapier automating these timely interactions, keeping your brand fresh in their minds and deepening their loyalty with every touchpoint.

A Quick Guide: GDPR Concerns for B2B Email Marketers

With the enforcement date (25th May 2018) of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) approaching, it’s necessary for all the B2B email marketers to carefully reexamine about the data they are obtaining for marketing strategies.

There are many interpretations about this regulation which have arose countless discussions.

This article has answered the most common questions that we have received in the months regarding GDPR.

How should the B2B email marketers handle the data that they have for the future marketing campaign?

This question is general and summarized all the questions we have received. But before answering that, we need to understand the “data” that involved in the GDPR.

The GDPR will mainly provide protection for “personal data”. So what is the “personal data” under GDPR? In GDPR, the term corresponding is this:

“‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”  (Article 4: Definitions)

Then that brings to the question: Is “Professional Emails” “Personal data”?

In GDPR, there are no specific terms that clearly distinguish the professional emails from the other. But according to the term above, the “personal data” defines the identification of one natural person.

An email address is unique, and it can indicate to a specific living individual. If you already know the recipient name of this email address, which is in most of the cases for B2B marketing campaign, this email address is “personal data” of this recipient.

That been said, there are for sure, exceptions. For instance, this email address: marketing@getemail.io.

There is no obvious direction which individual in GetEmail.io is currently using this email address. In addition, everyone can learn online that getemail.io is not a one-man company. In this case, the email address is not the personal data.

How should the B2B marketers process “personal data”?

“‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.”  (Article 4: Definitions)

The data management rule is strict in GDPR. All the actions regarding processing personal data must under a “lawful basis”.

“Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’)” (Article 5: Principles relating to processing of personal data)

Furthermore, what is the lawful way for B2B marketers to process the personal data? Since sending emails is a mean to process “Personal data” according to GDPR, Do B2B marketers must obtain the permission to send B2B cold emails?

“Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

(a) the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

(b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

(c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

(d) processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

(e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party.” (Article 6: Lawfulness of processing)

These are the relevant parts from the GDPR documents. Many recipients always claim that the B2B email marketers must not send them cold emails because that action is unsolicited. However, according to the corresponding articles above, the consent is only one of the lawful conditions. As long as the purpose of the email is legitimate.

“Legitimate interest could exist for example where there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller in situations such as where the data subject is a client or in the service of the controller.”

“The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.” (Recitals 47)

For instance, if a marketer of a consultancy try to reach out to other marketers/researchers for promoting his/her marketing analysis tool, this action is out of legitimate interest, and those recipients might eventually become clients of this consultancy.

However, those kind of direct marketing approach has to provide the recipients a easy way to opt out if they don’t want to receive these emails from now on or not interested in the products/service anymore, even though in the beginning they had given you the permission to send, according to GDPR:

“The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

(a) the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

(b) the data subject withdraws consent” (Article 17: Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’))

Is GetEmail.io Legal After the enforcement of GDPR?

GetEmail.io process the data in a legitimate intention. The algorithm only searches the data which people publicly shared online and agreed other party to view. The results of searching are mainly professional emails for B2B use. So resource of the data; process of the data; and the service that we provide to our clients are 100% legal and comply with GDPR.

  • Professional emails of a specific prospect are, indeed, personal data, and personal data need to be handled under lawful basis according to GDPR.
  • Consent is not the seul, nor obligatory condition for processing personal data; You can still send the B2B mails to cold prospects with legal intention.
  • GetEmail.io is legal after the enforcement of GDPR.
