Article Body:
Your web business likely receives product inquiries from potential customers worldwide via email and your website. Responding promptly with the information they need can drastically increase your chances of making a sale.
But what happens after you send that initial information? Do you continue the conversation? If you're like many Internet marketers, the answer is probably no.
Failing to follow up allows valuable prospects to slip away. These are potential customers who might have been interested but lost your information or were too busy to act on your first message. Often, prospects delay purchasing to see if you're interested enough to follow up. If they don’t hear from you, they’ll likely take their business elsewhere.
Are You Losing Profits Due to Inconsistent Follow-ups?
Effective follow-up is more than just a process?"it's an art. Success requires a well-designed follow-up system that you implement consistently every day. If you fail to follow through individually and promptly, you may as well abandon the process entirely.
Consistent Follow-ups Yield Results!
Early in my marketing journey, I used what I call the "List Technique" for follow-ups. I had a database of contacts who had requested more information about my products and services. I would send mass newsletters with company news to everyone on that list. While this approach garnered some sales, it wasn't effective. Why?
1. Inconsistency: Messages were only sent when there was "big news."
2. Lack of Product Information: Newsletters didn’t provide further information on the products or services, leaving potential buyers uninformed.
3. Impersonal Approach: Messages were generic rather than tailored to individual interests.
What Follow-up Method Really Works?
Following up with each lead individually, multiple times, at set intervals, using pre-written messages, can significantly boost sales. Many who use this technique report at least doubling their sales. Here’s how you can set it up:
- Develop Follow-up Messages: Start with your initial informative letter. The second letter should dive deeper into product details, emphasizing benefits.
- Short and Sweet: The next 2-3 messages should be concise, highlighting benefits and uses. Ensure the main points are easily skimmable.
- Create Urgency: Offer something special to encourage immediate action in the next messages. Your prospects should feel compelled to place an order now.
- Solicit Feedback: Use your final messages to ask why the prospect hasn’t ordered. This isn’t just about sales?"it’s a chance to gather feedback to refine your approach.
Timing is Key
The timing of these messages is just as crucial as their content. Consistency is vital:
- Immediate Follow-up: Send an initial informative letter as soon as requested. Follow up within 24 hours.
- Maintain Momentum: Send the next messages 1-3 days apart. Your prospects are still interested and likely exploring options.
- Less Frequent Later On: To avoid being intrusive, space out the last messages by at least four days.
Effective follow-up doesn’t have to be complicated. Poor follow-up results in lost customers?"don’t miss out on mastering this crucial aspect of marketing!
