How to make more out of your sales pipeline using effective follow up

A bit about the session:

In the words of Wanda Allan, 80% of sales are made between the 5th and 12th contact yet, 90% of sales people make 3 contacts or less. Current market conditions make lead nurturing an absolute must. With many companies choosing to defer any decisions until clarity is restored, keeping in touch will increase your chances of winning the project later. In my session I will cover tips to support regular and effective follow up to increase your sales conversion.

Key takeaways:

  • A better understanding of the sales process and how to make it work for their company
  • Increased confidence to follow up effectively
