Why your follow-up emails aren’t working

By July 28, 2017October 13th, 2017No Comments

Your prospect expressed interest in your service or product and has now gone to radio silence.

How do you persuade them to give you an update – or better yet – approve or ask for your agreement?

Get them excited (or re-excited) about their success with your solution.

Sounds simple. It isn’t.

It isn’t because instead of building excitement, it’s easier to offer a price concession or imply one.

“If you are facing any challenges with what was offered in the proposal, I would love to work through those with you” is shameful to write.

Why do you think they’re facing challenges? How will you “work through them”?

You might as well put a neon “Get your discount here” sign on your forehead.

Add value by building confidence in their success to make your follow-up email work for you.

Bonus
To help them see their success, use words that are emotionally sticky and paint word pictures.

Try a version of this, “You can depend on our caring and creative team to make your event extraordinary!” to ensure your follow-up email gets best results.
