Let’s be honest, running a small business is a juggling act. Between handling clients, marketing, admin work and life getting in the way. it’s all too easy for important follow-ups to slip through the cracks. But here’s the hard truth: every missed follow-up could mean a lost sale, a weakened relationship, or even a reputation for being unreliable ...
Following up isn’t just about closing deals; it’s about building trust, staying top of mind, and showing people you value their time. Whether it’s a potential client, a former customer, or a valuable networking contact, timely follow-ups can make all the difference.
Think about it:
- 80% of sales require five follow-ups or more, yet most people give up after just one or two - A well-timed follow-up can turn a lukewarm lead into a loyal customer - People are busy and sometimes they want to work with you, but just need a little nudge
Despite knowing how important follow-ups are, so many people struggle with them. Here’s why:
- You’re too busy - With so much on your plate, it’s easy to forget to check in with leads or past clients - You don’t have a system - If your follow-up process relies on sticky notes, mental reminders, or a cluttered inbox, things will inevitably get missed - You’re not sure what to say - Reaching out again can feel awkward, and without a structured approach, follow-ups get postponed or avoided - You lose track of contacts - Maybe you met them at a networking event, exchanged emails, or connected on LinkedIn, but now their details are buried in a sea of messages
he result? Missed opportunities, lost sales, and frustration.
