The Fortune is in the Follow-Up

The Sales Show with Maree Kirkpatrick

In this energizing episode, Maree Kirkpatrick tackles a common stumbling block in sales: the follow-up. Many businesses mistakenly believe that showing interest equates to a certain sale, only to face silence after the initial conversation. Maree emphasizes that without a structured follow-up plan, sales are needlessly lost. She shares insights from her collaboration with TAFE New South Wales, highlighting the value of tenacity and the effectiveness of professional follow-up.

Maree outlines practical strategies, including setting a purpose for each follow-up, pre-framing follow-ups during initial conversations, and filling communication gaps with valuable insights. These steps help transform follow-up from an awkward task into an integral part of the sales process.

Sales success requires more than a great pitch; it demands nurturing and persistence. Marie offers a wealth of strategies to create a follow-up system that doesn't just close sales but builds strong, lasting client relationships.
