The Importance of the Follow-Up

Here is more information on my favorite offline tool: Send Out Cards. It helps me stay in touch with my clients on a regular basis ... and I never miss their birthdays!

If you are in business today then this could be the most important article you have read in a long while. Why? It will explain to you why your past marketing efforts may not have worked and how to improve them in the future.

As a small business owner, you will know that the most important thing you can do today is to find a new customer or client. If you don't have the ability to attract and keep new clients, you will not remain in business for long. This is a sad but true fact that leads too many small business owners shutting the doors on their dreams.

How does this happen?

Well most small business owners are very good at their business. In other words, if you are an Accountant you are very good at doing accounting, if you are a Real Estate Agent then you know the property business inside out and so on.

The problem is this: Most small business owners are not so good at marketing to create new leads for their business and then following those leads up consistently over a period of time.

In fact many small business owners are not even good at keeping in touch with their existing and past clients. It could be costing you thousands each year in lost income from all of the repeat and referral business you are missing out on.

Now I know you don't like marketing and following up, but I am equally sure that you don't like to throw away money on missed opportunities either, right?

Following-up with leads and past clients is that it doesn't have to be a difficult thing. Today, with different technologies, it can be largely automated.

This is exactly the problem I was having. I would generate new leads for my business . . .  and I would fail to follow up with them. I would find a few clients, and I would not keep in touch with them. I missed out on valuable referrals that I could have received.

I would do a great job for my clients, and I would gradually not stay in touch once I had finished working with them, so I never received repeat business. That's exactly why my first network marketing business fizzled.

Does this sound familiar to you? Are you making similar mistakes in your business? Learn from my mistakes!I decided to do something about these missed opportunities and went in search of a solution to following-up easily. In fact I wanted it to be so easy that I could just put it on autopilot.

Like you have probably done, I looked at solutions like autoresponder email systems. These systems will send a series of emails to your prospects that are totally automated. The big problem with these I have discovered is that most people get way too many emails today and rarely open them, let alone read them. I am sure you find this to be true? Yet, autoresponders are very very good for other situations, and I recommend them whole heartedly.

After weeks of searching I came across the ideal solution to following up: That solution is Send Out Cards. Send Out Cards provide an automated follow-up system much like autoresponders do, only they send real cards in the mail. These cards can be personalized and can even be in your own handwriting. I love Send Out Cards! I am in heaven sending my team, my family, my friends, and even my doctor, my hair dresser, my spa lady, EVERYONE, Send Out Cards. You can even include a small gift or book with you card.

Think of the possibilities . . .

* Send a thank you card when someone enquires about your services. Then send a series of different cards as follow-up each month until they become a customer.

* A dentist could send a reminder card (automatically) to their patients reminding them to book their regular check-up.

* Real Estate Agents could send out Christmas Cards to their list of clients and prospective clients without having to write them all out by hand.

Imagine if you had the peace of mind that all of your leads, clients and past clients were being followed up resulting in you achieving more sales and greater profits.

How different could your business life be if you achieved success with the help of Send Out Cards? Mine is so much richer. My stepson loved the book I sent him. He's 36 years old and told me that he really liked the book and wanted to read it even though he's not a "reader." Wow!
