Follow up is something, which if you have any contact with clients, in any way, must be part of your business. Unfortunately statistics strongly indicate that most businesses, especially small businesses fall short of what is needed to make the sale.
Following-up with your leads and matching their interest level with the information they desire and being a friendly face and a place of knowledge and leadership in your niche will pay-off over time as people will come to you when their need arises for your product/service. What follow-up does is keep you and your company at the fore-front of their mind when they think of your related field and develop a need for you.
By employing an autoresponder which is a piece of software that enables you to send emails to people automatically, it frees up your time tremendously. This doesn’t mean that it writes the emails for you and it doesn’t involve spam or sending unsolicited email. What it means is that you set up a sequence of prewritten emails that are sent out to prospects on your database at regular intervals.
The importance of this cannot be underestimated. Time and time again internet marketing gurus tell you that the money is in the list. This is not by accident. We online marketing specialists know that this is fact. The more people you have on mailing lists that are interested in your products or services, the more sales you will make. And remember, the majority of this can be done automatically without you needing to be personally involved.
Follow up is one of the most powerful skills in business situations, yet many people fail at this simple task. A person can argue their schedule is so busy that they don’t have time. This excuse does not warrant any merit. If you feel that your busy schedule is hindering your follow-ups, then you need serious evaluation of your organizational skills and time management abilities.
A typical lead nurturing programme involves a series of letters, emails, case studies, success stories, articles, events, white papers, and webcasts. If you nurture your leads before selling, you’ll see more sales-ready leads, higher close ratios, a stronger sales pipeline and a shorter sales cycle.
Compared to all the other tasks, even the least amount of time spent on follow-up will still generate MORE MONEY than the rest. The 80/20 rule applies where 20% of the actual work generates 80% of the results this is scientifically proven in everything that people do. An autoresponder is one of the best tools you can use to automate this follow-up process.
