✍️ Blog 10: How to Follow Up Like a Pro (Without Feeling Pushy)
🔴 The Problem
You’ve sent the quote… followed up once… and then? Silence.
Do you chase again?
Do you leave it?
Do you worry you’re being too pushy?
Most small business owners give up too soon—and it’s costing you sales.
🟣 The Truth You Need to Know
80% of sales happen between the 5th and 12th contact.
Not because the lead isn’t interested.
But because:
They’re busy
They forgot
They need reassurance
They’re unsure and need a nudge
Follow-up is not annoying. It's professional.
And done the right way—it builds trust and boosts conversions.
🤎 A 3-Step Follow-Up Plan You Can Use Today
1. Follow Up Fast
Speed builds trust.
Aim to follow up within 1 hour of an enquiry or quote—even if it’s automated.
✅ Use automation tools (like our CRM system) to send an instant reply when a lead comes in.
2. Use a Sequence, Not Just One Message
Don’t wing it. Build a simple email/SMS follow-up flow:
Message 1: “Quote sent—any questions?”
Message 2: “Still keen to go ahead?”
Message 3: “We’d love to help—this offer ends Friday.”
Message 4: “Final call—holding your slot ends today.”
✅ Keep messages human, short, and value-focused.
3. Don’t Be Robotic—Be Real
People buy from people.
Use your tone. Speak like you would in person.
Ask real questions
Use their name
Remind them why they enquired in the first place
🟡 What Happens If You Don’t Follow Up?
You get ghosted
You miss out on sales
You waste leads your marketing worked hard to generate
Competitors who do follow up will win the job instead
🔵 What Happens When You Follow Up Properly?
You stay top of mind
You appear organised and confident
You build trust without pressure
And most importantly… you convert more leads into paying clients
