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 ...
Ready to take control of your follow-ups and grow your business?
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. You’ve probably been there. You meet someone at a networking event, have a great conversation, promise to follow up, and then go home and completely forget about it. Weeks later, you realise you never reached out, and by then, the opportunity is gone.
"Does any of this sound familiar?"
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
The result? Missed opportunities, lost sales, and frustration.
This is where YourPCM saves the day. It’s not just a CRM, it’s a proactive system that ensures you never miss a follow-up again. YourPCM tracks all your leads, clients, and networking contacts and automatically reminds you when it’s time to follow up.

If anything I've written in this blog post resonates with you and you'd like to discover more about YourPCM and how it can help your small business grow and thrive, it may be a great idea to book a Zoom demo with me and I'll show you around, or call me on 07490 373980 and let's see how I can help.
I'm a 32-year veteran web developer, who published one of the first 1,000 websites in the entire world when I worked at The Open University way back in 1993. Since then I've been involved with projects big and small, funded and unfunded, corporate and commercial. I was part of the dot com boom and contracted in California in the mid-2000s.
On my return to the UK circa 2011, I started work on my digital marketing platform SLO Media, and have run that successfully for nearly 15 years, blogging, sharing social media content and sending mailers for a small yet exclusive group of clients.
During the pandemic, when we were all bored out of our skulls, I created YourPCM, a SaaS CRM designed exclusively for small business owners, alth0ugh I don't call it a CRM because CRMs are boring and people glaze over when they hear that term. I just call it 'easy contact management for small business owners'.
My head is in The Cloud, my heart belongs to The Web, and my soul is filled with such beautiful code.
