Lead Generation Pro Tip

Paul Brogan
VP Client Services

How often do you follow up with your pipeline? Almost as importantly, how do you follow up with your pipeline? I've noticed a strong reliance on email communication. We all get a lot of emails every day, and if the email manages to fall down off your screen it is easily forgotten.

I hear from clients that they are struggling to re-engage companies, and upon digging they have sent 2-3 emails over the course of a few weeks with no response. In many cases this is not a company ignoring you, or expressing that they are no longer interested, it can simply be that your email keeps dropping off their radar.

It is critical that you also follow up with phone calls and if you are connected, via LinkedIn, Whatsapp, etc. Even a simple 10-second voicemail saying "Hi, I just sent you an email and was hoping to schedule a few minutes to chat" can be enough to get a response and engagement from a prospect company.
