Following-up.
Follow-up is vital in the sales process and it is important in the on-going development
of your business relationship with your target accounts.
Typically, most small businesses are able to identify and pursue prospects in some manner and then send an email with a link to a website, or mail a brochure or have a meeting to provide a sales presentation. However, where the ball often is dropped is in the follow-up stage. And without follow-through, sales are lost and as a small business your marketing dollars are lost.
Many small businesses often quit midstream and think their probable or existing customer is not interested in their offering. Small businesses become discouraged when the prospect says "no, not at this time" or the small business believes the target account always gives the business to their competitor, or they simply are overwhelmed with other work and forget to follow-up. And without a shadow of a doubt, those small businesses that miss the last and most important element of follow-up are on-track to fail in closing the sale and hurt their growth.
Sales data shows it takes about seven to ten contacts with a prospect to close a sale. This is the reason to stay consistent, to be determined and committed in your sales and marketing plan. Being focused on your business goals and follow-up plan enable you to build customer relationships. Your follow-up actions show that your business is doing its part to nurture and build a relationship with target accounts. And solid relationships grow your business revenue.
"Every decent player knows that follow-through is everything in golf.
Without the proper follow-through, you will not win! This is a truth in business too."
