Importance of Follow Through
Following up can be challenging. Is an email or a phone call best? When is the best time to call or email? Should I contact them this week or next month?
Setting a clear follow-up strategy is key to nurturing and maintaining client relationships. Every interaction with a client or prospect holds potential value and keeping that connection warm ensures you stay top-of-mind. With our Simple and Easy™ CRM, you can easily keep track of your contacts, so you never miss an opportunity to follow through.
- Below are a few tips for improving your follow-ups:
- Have a Deadline: After you are done talking to a person, create a time and date for a follow-up. This small step can make all the difference in staying organized and focused.
With our Simple and Easy™ CRM, you can keep track of:
- Who to Contact (the Decision-maker): Knowing the right person to reach out to streamlines communication and ensures your efforts are effective.
- How to Contact (Email, phone call, etc.): The medium you choose can impact response rates. Some clients may prefer a quick email, while others appreciate the personal touch of a call.
- When to Contact (important with different time zones): Timing is crucial. Following up at the right moment can greatly increase your chances of getting a response.
- What to Discuss (mix personal and professional conversation to build a rapport): Building rapport goes beyond business; showing genuine interest in your client’s needs and background helps create a lasting relationship.
Simply log in, and your notifications are at your fingertips. Click one, make the call or send the email, mark it as complete, and schedule a new activity. It really is that simple. You can access the CRM from your mobile device, laptop, or notebook with internet access.
Additional Benefits of Consistent Follow-Through
- Increases Trust: Regular follow up proves to clients that you are reliable, responsive, and care about them.
- Increases Opportunity for Sales: There’s research to support that follow-ups have a higher chance of converting a prospect into a customer. Actually, a timely follow-up is sometimes the difference between a sale and a no-show.
- Improves Long-term Client Relations: If you keep your promises and get in touch with clients regularly, you will develop long-term clients who trust you for taking care of them.
- 4. Gets A Head Start on Client Needs: As you check in with your client on a regular basis, you start to see what needs, issues, and desires they have changed. This allows you to tailor your service or product to better serve them and become a more valuable provider.
Why Simple and Easy™ CRM is the Ultimate Follow-Through Tool
There is so much more that you will love in the Simple and Easy™ CRM that will allow your business to stay in contact with all your customers. Automated reminders, note-taking, and customisable follow-up workflows let you make sure every client interaction is useful, timely, and never lost.
Failure to follow-up can damage your brand. You have just spent hours on the relationship and the client, and never sent out that quote or reminder. If your client is feeling valued and that your business is valued, then you want them to feel this way. Our Simple and Easy™ CRM helps you avoid these blind spots and reinforces your brand as an attentive and reliable partner.
Reconnect, Even After a Long Pause
Even if it’s been a very long time since, it’s never too late to re-connect. A quick check-in to let them know if their requirements have evolved or you have new products or services available can re-energize them to work with you. Clients may have had evolving needs or challenges that your services can now address.
Why Follow-Through Matters for Your Bottom Line
In the end, follow-through is not only great for your clients but also a big source of revenue for your business. Each follow-up is a potential sale, a referral or a deeper connection. When you make follow-through an integral part of your business model, your customers will be more loyal, your conversions will grow, and your brand will show that you’re serious about being the best.
