    Laurie's Lessons - 5 Tips for followup in sales

    Laurie's Lessons - 5 Tips for followup in sales

    Laurie provided five tips on effective sales follow-up, emphasizing the importance of promptness, personalization, clear next steps, mixed communication channels, and consistent follow-up. She advised against relying solely on one mode of communication and suggested using a spreadsheet to track interactions and follow-ups. Laurie recommended following up with leads at least three to five times, but stressed that persistence is key, with up to nine follow-ups suggested.



    Here are 5 tips for following up in sales:


    Be Prompt: Don't let your leads go cold. Strike while the iron is hot and follow up with them quickly after your initial interaction, be it a meeting, call, or email.


    Personalize and Add Value: Avoid generic messages. Reference your previous conversation, highlighting a specific pain point they mentioned and how your product can address it. You can even include a relevant industry article or resource.


    Clearly Define Next Steps: Don't leave your prospect hanging. Tell them exactly what the next step is and who needs to take action. Is it a demo, a proposal, or a call to answer any questions?


    Mix Up Your Communication Channels: Don't rely solely on email. Try a follow-up call, a social media message, or even a handwritten note to stand out.


    Follow Up Consistently: Be persistent but not pesty. Develop a follow-up cadence that works for you and stick to it. There's no magic number, but experts recommend following up at least 3-5 times before giving up on a lead.

    Effective Sales Follow-Up Strategies Discussed

    Laurie shared five tips on effective sales follow-up. She emphasized the importance of promptness, personalization, clearly defining the next steps, mixing up communication channels, and consistent follow-up. She advised not to rely solely on one mode of communication and to keep track of interactions and follow-ups in a spreadsheet. Laurie also recommended following up with leads at least three to five times, but noted that persistence is key, with up to nine follow-ups suggested. She encouraged the team to follow these tips and thanked everyone for their attention.

    Laurie's Lessons - How do you show up?

    Laurie's Lessons - How do you show up?

    Laurie's Lessons How do you show up?

    Laurie conducted a training session on posture and self-presentation, emphasizing the importance of acting genuinely rather than "faking" confidence. She also stressed the significance of sharing one's product or service and personal experiences, encouraging confidence in doing so. Additionally, Laurie shared her personal journey of overcoming shyness and lack of confidence, and emphasized the importance of authenticity in social media and in life. She encouraged individuals to share imperfect moments and to strive for genuine connections with others.

    Posture Training: Confidence, Ego, and Perception
    Laurie led a training session on posture, focusing on how individuals present themselves and are perceived. She discouraged the use of the phrase "fake it till you make it" and instead encouraged people to act in a way that aligns with how they want to be perceived. Laurie highlighted the difference between confidence and ego, and stressed that confidence comes from genuine communication and interactions with others. She ended the session with an emphasis on the importance of speaking to more people to gain more experience and knowledge.

    Believing in and Sharing Your Product
    Laurie emphasized the importance of believing in and sharing one's product or service, even if it's not universally accepted or approved. She shared her personal experience of overcoming major sciatic pain through the help of a patch, which she believes she would not have known about if someone did not share it with her. Laurie advised that one's job is to share the information with others, and it's up to them to decide whether they want to use or buy it. She encouraged confidence in sharing one's own experiences and warned against spending time worrying about whether one is sharing enough or being confident enough.

    Overcoming Shyness and Confidence in Company
    Laurie shared her personal journey of overcoming initial shyness and lack of confidence when she first joined the company. She encouraged others to share their own stories and not be discouraged if they don't want to share on social media, emphasizing the importance of pushing oneself outside of comfort zones. Laurie also highlighted that the goal is not to convince others about the company or products, but to share one's own experience and let others make their own decisions.

    Emphasizing Authenticity in Social Media
    Laurie emphasized the importance of authenticity in social media and in life. She encouraged not to be afraid of sharing imperfect moments, as they can be just as valuable and relatable to others. She shared her own experiences of appearing raw and real, including having her grandson or pets appear in her videos, and noted that this approach attracted more people to her. Laurie also suggested that for major events like book launches, it's acceptable to put in extra effort for a polished look, but it's the raw and real that people should strive for in their everyday content.

    Laurie's Lessons - coaching & training - Rise Above - Be An Unstoppable Champion

    Laurie's Lessons - coaching & training - Rise Above - Be An Unstoppable Champion

    Forget about people-pleasing. Become a champion for yourself and your dreams. Be kind, but prioritize the decisions that empower you, your family, and your business.

    Embrace the challenge. True champions know that growth requires effort. Every worthwhile pursuit will push you beyond your comfort zone.

    Remember, the rewards are often far greater than the initial difficulty.Leave self-pity in the dust. It's a dead end. Learn from your past, but don't dwell on it.

    Move forward, embrace failure as a stepping stone, and fail forward with valuable lessons learned.

    Stop dwelling on the past.

    Take ownership of your choices and shape your own future. Let go of victim mentality and become the author of your story.

    Gossip is a small game. Exceptional minds engage in inspiring ideas, average minds discuss events, but true champions elevate the conversation by focusing on people's potential and positive contributions.Focus on your sphere of influence.

    Don't waste energy on things you can't control. If an obstacle arises, don't get stuck – proactively seek solutions.

    Be the problem-solver, not the problem-bringer.Balance your vision with present action.

    Learn from the past, but live fully in the present while actively planning for a bright future.

    Set ambitious goals, maintain a clear vision, and take consistent action towards your dreams.Never give up. Remember, most success stories take time.

    Be prepared to invest effort and time, just like countless successful businesses that didn't see profits for years.

    In network marketing, consistent action and exploring untapped connections can lead to remarkable income streams.

    Remember, your potential is limitless. Challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone and tap into the depths of your potential.

    There are always more people to connect with, more possibilities to explore, and more reasons to keep growing.

    Become an unstoppable champion. Start now.
