Hello darkness my old friend -

(is that three/four song titles in 3 weeks? Maybe)

This one goes without saying.

Follow up is key, if not crucial in sales. Yet - many sales people struggle with this simple concept?

Rejection is tough. It’s not fun hounding someone over and over again with little to no response. When do we stop?

According to IRC Sales Solutions, only 2% of sales are made during the first point of contact. This means businesses stand to lose potentially 98% of their sales leads if they do not follow up. The success of any sales rests on how well we seal deals.

In this week’s edition of Stretch Weekly -

  • Jeffrey Gitomer and Jeff Shore talk about the art of sales, follow up and closing

  • Charlene Ignites with 5 Things Salespeople Can Say Instead of “I’m just following up”

And don’t sleep on this week’s snippets with more tips, tactics and strategies to help you follow up the right way to move deals forward.

THANKS for reading!!
