In this episode we explore the importance of following up after proposals or discovery calls.

We dispel fears of being pushy, and recommend a follow-up schedule.

We stress adding value in each message, automating the process, and not taking silence personally.

We cover how view the no response and how to persist with follow-ups, and use tools to stay organized—ultimately framing follow-up as a key to nurturing relationships and growing a successful business.

You’ll learn:

✔ A simple follow-up cadence that keeps you top of mind

✔ How to automate your follow-up process

✔ Ways to provide value in every message

✔ How to stop taking silence personally

If you’ve ever been ghosted after someone said, “I’m interested,” this episode will help you stay persistent—and profitable.
