It's time to start working that plan you so carefully wrote up at the end of last year. What was lacking in 2008 that you are determined to change in 2009?

Implementing a Follow-up System in 2009
  • 97% of businesses do NOT follow-up with a prospect after the first month of meeting them
  • Following up with prospects is rated in the top three 'pain points' for small businesses
  • On average it takes 6-9 contacts with a prospect before they buy
Black Sheep NewsletterDo you have a structured system in place?

Here's 5 Simple Action Steps:

  1. Sign up with an Email Marketing Provider such as Constant Contact.
  2. When you come back from your marketing event (trade shows, seminars, networking, etc), enter your contacts information right away while it is small enough to manage and upload them.
  3. Create an email (newsletter, announcement, invitation, greeting, etc) and hit send.
  4. Analyze who opened your email and what their interests are by viewing which links they clicked on.
  5. Reach out to the 'warm' leads with a phone call to find out about their needs and how you may be able to help. Stay in touch on a monthly basis to stay 'top of mind' and to be there for when they are ready to buy.
Don't have the time... too busy? Can't afford full time staff? Outsource this important task to eXtra Contact and get yourself started, on plan and kept accountable.
Marketing Tip: Creating Your Organization Chart

Visit eWomen Network websiteFour Tips to Creating Your Organization Chart

1.    There is no box on the chart labeled "Owner." If you are an owner, you need to occupy one or more boxes on the chart and play by the same rules you would have for any other employee.

2.    Every position on the chart reports to one (and only one) manager. Giving two or more managers the power to direct the activities of one employee is an invitation to miscommunication and chaos.

3.    Make sure you divide up the work according to what the business needs. Don't try to design a position to fit the particular talents of one individual. If (when) that person leaves, you'll have to start all over with a new chart because you won't be able to find a replacement.

4.    Instead of using titles, designate positions in terms of the results they will obtain.
