How many deals have you missed because you didn’t follow up? 🚀
Last week, I reached out to 20 warm leads.
This week?
It’s all about keeping the ember glowing with consistent follow-up. 🔥
Consistent follow-up is tough:
→Some rely on memory, others on calendar reminders.
→The pros?
→They use CRMs like ZoHo or Salesforce to automate the process and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
You might not mean to forget, but here’s what can happen when you don’t follow up:
❌ You come across as opportunistic, only reaching out when you need something.
❌ It can feel disrespectful, as if their time isn’t valued.
❌ Worst of all, you lose any momentum you’ve worked hard to build.
Why follow-up matters:
🚀 Boosts your response rate from 10-20% to an impressive 60-80%.
🤝 Builds trust and keeps you top of mind.
💡 Shows you’re committed to the relationship, which leads to higher conversion rates.
💼 Demonstrates professionalism and persistence.
I also attended the NYC Tech Meetup last Monday, connected with some awesome startup folks, and was happy with my follow-up strategy.
→I pitched with confidence, updated my Blinq card, and polished up my website 💻.
Lessons learned?
→Next time, I’ll dive deeper into researching the companies and attendees beforehand to network with more purpose and intention. 📚
→At the end of the day, consistency always wins.
🔥 Keep those warm leads warm, nurture relationships, and show up like a pro every time. 💪
P.S. What’s your follow-up strategy?
P.S.S. Took my dad with me to Monday’s event. He’s recently retired and now hustling in IT staffing. Proud moment 👏.
