In this episode, Joel, and Andy, talk about the power of following up in sales and marketing. They explain why so many business people do not do this even though they are leaving a lot of money on the table. Then provide some tips and strategies anyone can use to get into the habit of following up and becoming good at it. They cover email, phone, text, social media, getting the timing right, tracking the results, and much more.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Most businesses focus on new client acquisition and virtually ignore their current client database.
People fear following up, which is the biggest reason they don’t do it.
The first thing you say during follow-up is key to success.
Timing matters. Joel and Andy explain how to get it right.
If you don’t track and measure your follow-up efforts, you will end up wasting time and money.
Tech and automation help, but you still need the personal touch.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Ask questions that get the person to think and engage.’

‘Use automation. But it should always be enhanced by human interaction.’

‘When you've got structure, you've got a plan.’
