You’ll make more money.\n\nSending follow-up emails is the most critical skill you’ll learn in life and business.\n\nHow vital could your message be if you aren’t willing to follow-up?\n\nFollowing-up on a conversation, project, or email is not rude. Follow-up is a polite, proactive action that demonstrates confidence, authority, and experience.\n\nYou’re following up on your message because you understand that your clients, leads, and contacts are busy people with a lot going on. You’re doing them a service by proactively, politely following-up.\n\nIf you have your leads, clients, and contacts best interests at heart, why wouldn’t you follow-up?\n\nIf someone contacted you and said\n\nI’ve got this enormous problem, it costs me a ton money, and I need help1\n\nYou’d be doing them a service by following-up with them even if they didn’t respond to your first, second, or third email.\n\nAfter all, if you sent your doctor a message and said\n\nDoc, I’m feeling sick…\n\nAnd then your doctor’s office called you back, you missed their call, and then they followed-up and called again, would you feel happy or annoyed?\n\nYou’d most likely feel happy. Your doctor’s follow-up is a signal that you aren’t just another name, number, or face.\n\nYou’re someone who is under their care.\n\nShare that same level of concern for your clients and their businesses. Follow-up more often.\n\nWant to learn how to email anyone and get a reply?\n\nYou’ll want The Outreach Blueprint: http://outreachblueprint.com\n\nExcelsior!\n\nKai\n\nDirectly or indirectly, this is what most of your leads are saying/thinking/feeling when they get in touch with you. ↩",
