"The way to succeed is to double your failure rate." - Thomas J. Watson Sr., former CEO of IBM

This insightful quote from Thomas J. Watson Sr. reminds us that persistence is key in sales, even in the face of rejection.

But there's a crucial balance to strike – how do we stay persistent without becoming a nuisance?

This week, we're diving into the art of follow-up etiquette, helping you master the delicate dance of being pleasantly persistent without crossing into pest territory.

Your follow-ups are starting to feel like a game of whack-a-mole.

You're popping up in your prospect's inbox so often, they're considering filing a restraining order.

Your persistence is turning into pestering, and your sales efforts are backfiring.

Feel that cringe?

It's the realization that you might be "that salesperson" – the one prospects dread hearing from.

Your follow-ups are being met with radio silence or, worse, irritated responses.

You're walking a tightrope between being persistent and being blacklisted, and one wrong move could send you plummeting into the abyss of ignored contacts.

But what if you could follow up with the grace of a ballet dancer and the precision of a surgeon?

What if your persistence could be welcomed, even appreciated?

Saddle up, because I'm about to transform you from a pesky mosquito into a respected professional your prospects actually want to hear from!
