How To Follow Up With Clients Effectively

Following up is how you stay relevant, provide additional information, and establish a long-term relationship. If you talk to someone once and then ask for a favor three months later, your chances of success are slim.

You’re creating a long-term relationship with someone if you communicate with them once every few weeks or once a month, even if it’s just to say hello and wish them well.

The Money is in the Follow Up!
