#14 THREE TIPS FOR FOLLOWING UP
LEADS
It has been documented that the
two biggest mistakes small business owners make in following up sales leads are
not having a sense of urgency and not being persistent. "The quality of
the prospect goes down significantly as time passes from their request for
information". If you don't reach the prospect don't expect THEM to call
back. Call them at least twice per day the first week. Here is tip #14: Respond
to a prospect within 24 hours, sooner if possible.
#15 TIP #2 FOR FOLLOWING UP LEADS
Set a SPECIFIC time each day to
call back leads, and do it religiously.
