If anyone doubts that follow-up marketing works, we’ve got news for you. In a recent experiment performed by Marketing Experiments, they proved the need to follow up with leads approximately eight times to make a solid sale. I’ll go over how you can seize this great opportunity!
Marketing Experiments published a case study (and a ‘playbook’) which demonstrates the before and after results when one applies follow-up marketing into the lead management process. The examples were astounding, even for us. The conclusion: marketers need to contact their leads approximately eight times to optimize their conversions.
Unfortunately, too many marketers let their leads fall into a black hole, letting them go to your competitors who will nurture them. People might share an interest in your product or service and obtain a complimentary report; and then never are contacted again. The hidden truth is people do want to hear from you, especially when they opted in for something from your business. We’ve worked too hard, too long and late not to tell you about follow-up marketing — and it can result in nearly four times as much revenue.
