Not just a system for follow-up, but an automated, foolproof, follow-up system where nothing will fall between the cracks. I feel so many people work their butts off to bring in or cultivate business, but they don’t follow up with it and it loses steam. It seems most people get a hot lead and then let it cool off because their follow-up is weak. Or they cant convert or close the business because they don’t know how to follow up. If this is you or someone you know, I think I can really help. First things first, let’s set some minimum expectations. Here is my bare minimum contact frequency:
Small clients – Every 6 months
Medium Clients – Every 3 months
Large Clients – Every month
Some people may think this is not enough. If that’s you then turn up the follow-up meter and contact more often. Some may say wow that’s a little too much. To you, I say you need to mix up the follow-up. If you wait any longer than above then you lose too much influence. With technology being what it is now, I would automate these minimums. You can create a foolproof follow-up process that can help schedule and complete your calls, emails, and texts! How do you do that???

Create automated processes for each one of your events including meetings, conventions, networking events, etc. Make your follow-up consistent and develop a process that works. Once you have a good automated process and setup, here are some tips to make the actual follow up more powerful:
- Set expectations – If you don’t, your clients will and that doesn’t end well.
- Ask the client when the best time to contact or follow up is.
- Remember their special days (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.)
- Give a special offer and add value without expecting anything in return
- Add personal touches. Get to know them personally and tie that into your follow-up. Ex: family, friends, hobbies, etc.
