What is Follow-up?

We prefer to think of it like this –
to maintain contact with a person, organization, or group so as to develop a relationship for the mutual benefit of both parties.

Why Follow-Up?

By following up, you’re doing something most businesses don’t bother with that sets you apart from the rest and keeps you top of mind.

By listening to customers’ needs and problems, you are gathering invaluable intelligence to create new products or services.

Thoughtful contact shows that you appreciate your customers and this breeds loyalty. People do business with those they know, like, and trust.

While the follow-up shouldn’t be about pushing the sale, it serves as the perfect opportunity to inform prospects or customers about upcoming events or launches.

Consistent follow-up gives customers a chance to be heard and engage effectively.

Follow-ups can be a great source to ask customers what they want or expect next.

Expend a little personal attention on customers and they will reciprocate by being consistently good purchasers of your product or service and refer you to everyone they know.

Highly Recommended!

I had modest goals for my 1-person, home-based business but a PhD in Follow-up helped me surpass those goals. I am now the proud owner of a thriving business with 10 employees! Not only that, I’m also making a nice side income as a promoter of the Shuffle app and SendOutCards! These tools are excellent for growing your business and helping others meet and surpass their business goals!

Best business tool!

We have been using SendOutCards for over 9 years and this app is a GAME CHANGER! We own a window tinting business and this app allows us to take a picture of the vehicle, house, building, plane, tractor…whatever it is we have tinted and send a card right on the spot! Customers LOVE receiving cards and brownies from us and they tell ALL of their friends! Thank you, SendOutCards! You ROCK!

The Fortune is in the Follow Up – this makes it simple!

I’ve tried every app on the market for engaging with new contacts and following up over time – Shuffle does it fast, professional and easy! Every month there are new updates that improve different aspects. Plus now with proximity marketing built in it’s truly an all in one solution for any business!

Following up is a part of building relationships…

How many times have you heard someone say they’ll get back to you on something or they’ll give you a call next week to discuss something further…then you never hear from them again?

It doesn’t matter if it’s business or personal, when they drop the communication line, it hurts their reputation.

Implementing the simple, efficient, cost-effective techniques and tools offered in our LESSONS FOR SUCCESS will ensure that you are remembered as the thoughtful, respectful, person with the product or service they want to purchase and tell all their friends about.
