Grab your ticket here: https://lindsayfletcher.co/challenge ---------------------- You don’t need more leads to grow your business. You need better follow-through. In this episode, I’m breaking down the number one way to double, triple, even 10X your sales—and it has nothing to do with posting more, marketing more, or chasing more people. It’s follow-up. And before you brush that off like you’ve heard it before… I want you to really see what this is costing you. On average, only about 2% of sales happen in the first conversation. That means 98% of your potential clients don’t say yes right away. And 80% of those people?They need 5 to 12 follow-ups before they decide. Most of you are stopping after the first conversation, or worse, you’re ending with “let me know if you have any questions” and putting the responsibility on them. That’s where the sale dies. In this episode, I walk you through a simple numbers breakdown that shows exactly how you’re leaving money on the table. We look at what happens when 100 people contact your business and you only rely on first conversations. And then what happens when you follow up just once… and then twice. The difference is not small. In this example, it’s the difference between $200 and $600 with just two follow-ups. That’s not a marketing or leads problem. This is a follow-up problem. Most small business owners have never learned to sell, so they don't know how to set themselves up for expected follow up and/or they don't have a simple system so that people served and sales don't fall through the cracks.
