10 Best Follow-up Lessons That Will Make You More Money

Prospecting isn't enough.

Shocked to read that from Mark Hunter, someone known for his prospecting training? Save the gasps and don't kick cold calling to the curb just yet – prospecting is still the foundation from which all business is built. However, if you've:

...yet you still experience a lack of deals to close, chances are, you haven't been following up enough. Right now, do you have the tools to nurture prospects along far enough to where they become potential, paying customers?

This edition of The Sales Hunter Edge is for salespeople of all skill levels who have ever thought to themselves, "I don't have enough deals to close." Here's the thing: you will never have more deals to close than you have prospects to prospect, and you will never get all the business you can without a fine-tuned follow-up process.

The sale is made in the follow-up. The following content is based on The Sales Hunter University's masterclass, Following Up with Prospects. Dive into my 10 career-changing follow-up tools below, then register for early access by 9/24.

I have enjoyed Mark's course. It always great to work with someone who has carried the bag and not only teaches but practices his methodologies in driving business for his own consulting practice. It's one thing to teach it; it is another to live it. Mark does both!
