Following-up can be an acquired or innate skill that comes naturally to some and for others is a skill that takes time to develop over the course of their career. The Importance of follow-up in your business is huge because this is where the application of your skills and your ability to deliver the product/service become evident.
Whether you choose to follow up yourself or use a VA remember that little things can make a big difference in your internet marketing promotion business. Following up with your visitors to your blog is a simple way to show you care and also let them know you value them. You’ve already spent time and remember time is money to attract these leads. So don’t make the mistake of leaving them hanging after they have visited your blog. Just because someone hasn’t responded to one of your campaigns doesn’t mean that they don’t have an interest in your product or service — it may not have been convenient for them to act when they received your email.
It’s important to realise that you *will* get business from these prospects *if* you stay in contact with them. In fact, prospects need to hear from you multiple times before they actually buy: 2% of sales are made on the 1st contact. 3% of sales are made on the 2nd contact. 5% of sales are made on the 3rd contact. 10% of sales are made on the 4th contact. 80% of sales are made on the 5th-12th contact [Source: National Sales Association]
The importance of this cannot be underestimated. Time and time again internet marketing gurus tell you that the money is in the list. This is not by accident. We online marketing specialists know that this is fact. The more people you have on mailing lists that are interested in your products or services, the more sales you will make. And remember, the majority of this can be done automatically without you needing to be personally involved.
Follow up is one of the most powerful skills in business situations, yet many people fail at this simple task. A person can argue their schedule is so busy that they don’t have time. This excuse does not warrant any merit. If you feel that your busy schedule is hindering your follow-ups, then you need serious evaluation of your organizational skills and time management abilities.
It’s easier to do than you might initially think. The internet is the easiest place to find free content that you can share with your customer base. An example might be to search and locate articles of interest and relevance, copy the link then paste and send.
If you can search, read, copy and paste, you have created a very simple yet powerful mode to follow up without being a creative writer, or videographer and spending thousand to produce content. You can simply copy the link, and in the subject line write “Article of Interest” and in the body, types “Please accept this short article I read. I found it very enlightening and thought you’d find some value in it”. Click send and you’re done!
