How Many Times Should You Follow Up With Leads (after a presentation)?
Question,
Hi Ann Sieg, how many times should you follow up with leads (aftrer a presentation), when they go MIA, AWOL & underground (ie. Mobile swithced off – day after day)?
Answer,
That’s a great question.
I recommend people set up a SOP (standard operating procedure) for following up with leads. In this way you can best measure and gauge your results.
The most leveraged form of follow up is an autoresponder series of emails. This can go on for some time. In this way they have the option to “opt out” or they stay in your email sequence and when the opportunity is right they “convert”.
Second to that is phone follow up. I have a team that helps me with that. But “back in the day” I typically did three voice messages. Each one varying as I touched on different angles of information (emotional hot buttons).
My belief about prospecting is that it is a two way street.
I look for mutual steps of commitment. I like to assign people specific action steps. “You do this” and “I’ll do that”. It should not be all weighted on me. I am not chasing people. This is part of positioning. I have something you need (solution to your problem). If you want it then you must do this necessary action. Spoon feeding every step of the way leads to weak atrophied entrepreneurs.
Preceding all of this is, of course, a well oiled marketing system.
Sales and marketing are always joined at the hip. Your marketing system should do the vast majority of the sifting and sorting for you. So YOU take on more of a customer service role. “May I take your order please?”

Hi Ann,
Awesome, awesome note here: “Spoon feeding every step of the way leads to weak atrophied entrepreneurs.”
We attract folks, we don’t chase them, for what we chase, flees. Positioning yourself tells others you would enjoy working with them but you sure as heck aren’t desperate enough to chase them, and offer all types of stuff without a clear and direct call to action.
Thanks for sharing Ann.
