Follow Up With Potential Clients Strategy

 

Before 2012, I use to follow up with potential clients by phone and email.  If they did not respond, I would eventually stop following up as I felt they didn't have a need for my service.

Today, my strategy has changed drastically.  Here are my steps:

1. I send them my newsletter.
2. I make sure they are reading my newsletter (tracking)
3. I will wait a couple of months
4. Aslong as they are reading my newsletter, I will send them a follow up email with where they are at.
5. They will respond back 80% of the time
6. I will follow up again every 3 to 4 months by email aslong as they are reading my newsletter.   
7. I will eventually get an email back saying they are ready to go forward.  

What percentage of the time does this work?

80% to 90% ish

What's the newsletter doing?

1. It's allowing me to be on their time frame versus them being on my time frame. 

2. Newsletter is maintaining and building the personal relationship

Any examples?

40% of my business is closed after 1 year from initial contact.  If it wasn't for the newsletter, they would of forgotten about me and went to another mortgage broker.

MapleWood Farm in North Van

 

When I was a kid, my parents use to take us to Maplewood farm in North Van. 

It's amazing to take my family to do the same. 

Here is a Dandan making friends with a goat.

If you have small kids, Maplewood farm is the place to go.  They can pet goats, rabbits and other animals.  Amazing place.

HippoContact App - Android + Apple

 

What does the HippoContact App solve?

Following up with Business cards. 

What do I mean? 

When I meet someone, I'm no longer interested in their business card. 

At the end of every conversation, I ask "Hey, do you mind if I stay in touch with my newsletter". 

They then say "Yeah, sure". 

I pull out the app, I put their name and email in.  I get the CASL compliance button clicked and my most recent newsletter is sent to them automatically.  

When they get home and engage in my newsletter I get all the tracking + notifications of their activity. 

When I send out my next newsletter, it's no longer a spam letter.  They know me from my initial newsletter that was sent to them at our initial conversation.  

This in turn allows me to maintain all my relationships I make from networking, meeting people or sit downs with potential clients.
