Let Go to Grow
Stop Doing and Start Leading
Every successful entrepreneur reaches a point when they struggle to keep up with their own success.

Typically, entrepreneurs and consultants maintain responsibility for 75-100 percent of their business tasks, which is fine for the first year or two. However, most independent professionals and home-based entrepreneurs wait too long to hire help.

All Roads Lead to Follow-up
How to turn acquaintances into clients and fans
Effective follow-up is one of the most important aspects of marketing, and often the most neglected. If you're not building valuable business relationships you are losing sales, completely ignoring the importance of the "know, like and trust factor" required when selling professional services. It takes an average of 7-9 exposures to you before the average prospect is ready to buy. Most people stop after two or three tries.
What participants will learn:
- Why Follow-up causes so much resistance, and how to overcome it
- How to use Follow-up to build the "know, like and trust" factors with prospects
- Practical tactics for adding value-added follow up to key marketing strategies
- How to tap into your strengths and talents to make following up much more fun!
