6 detailed tips around effective follow up

6 detailed tips around effective follow up

Many of you wanted the tips that I shared on a recent free masterclass – the one about jumpstarting your follow up!

So I thought I’d give some of the highlights for you since I wasn’t offering a replay.

First of all, one tip about doing FREE calls and webinars is NOT to give a replay – you tend to get more people who are highly interested in your topic and show up. And we know that when they SHOW UP, they are more engaged, get to know, like, and trust you faster and take advantage of what you have to offer sooner than later. (Something to consider if you’re doing free calls for lead generation…. but if you’re NEW to business, I would still give the replay, you need everyone and anyone to listen in for the first few years!)

Ok, so…. FOLLOW UP MARKETING

What do you really need to know and do these days?

  1. First, it’s important collect ALL CONTACT INFO from those you’re interacting with. Either do that right away (if in person this is easier) or do it in subsequent emails and offers once they get on your list with just email and name. Offer to give 10 free books out for all who enter to win – use a form with name, email, phone and address all required for example, or give some other juicy piece of content. I usually add full contact forms to all my free masterclasses these days too, because if I’m going to actually TEACH something. I think that’s fair.
  2. Sort and segment your database. Segment marketing is a very good way to get noticed more by those on your list. This email for example is going to everyone, but yesterday I sent one just to a group of people who were interested in my in person speaker conference this summer with a call for speakers. I also send pertinent info about events I was at with people, or virtual calls, that only they would know about, to follow up.
  3. Come up with 3-5 ways to consistently pull your friends, followers, connections, etc. off of social media and onto your email list. Usually the free stuff is what they’ll click over for so keep coming up with new webinar or masterclass topics/titles, new ebooks, checklists, or downloads, or free access to whatever. Get your followers into a medium that YOU can control.
  4. Use physical forms at live events – yes, they are coming back! Don’t assume everyone you meet will want to scan your QR code or opt into your text messages. Just because the world has gone techy, doesn’t mean that’s the most effective way to work. I still collect contact info with printed forms, sign up sheets and order forms.
  5. Use landing pages, opt in boxes and sometimes even specialized pages just for a particular group on virtual events and calls. You have to drive them somewhere from virtual calls – your free gift, a free call, a paid event or program, an online scheduler/calendar. Please make a habit of being consistent with this. In fact I love giving people MY link so they are the ones that have to schedule – less work for me to do!
  6. Direct mail and phone calls are NOT dead! Use these ways to follow up if you need business, customers and clients. You cannot rely on email only or social and email only. You just can’t. There are way too many inboxes for people to check these days, they’re overwhelmed just like you so send something in the snail mail to make them PAY ATTENTION!
  7. Get more personal, people want to do business with people they connect with, give them a reason to connect deeper with you. Do you love dogs? I do! Do you love wine? I do! Do you love to cook? I do! See… who’s with me??
  8. Finally, reconnecting with old lists of clients or subscribers is so important to do right. Don’t just send them an email if you haven’t emailed them in 6 months or longer? They will not remember you. You have to reintroduce yourself with 3-4 emails at least, reminding them how they know you or why you’re emailing them.

Hope this is helpful!

“Katrina gave me the push I needed to implement changes in my business and helped my marketing take off with her “jump start your business” bootcamp. IF you’re not happy with how your business is going, it’s not going to get better until you gain the right knowledge and learn the right way to proceed. I had been listening to different teachers, a little bit here and a little bit somewhere else. But no one gave me the methodology Katrina has. Hire Katrina and watch your results!”

“In just 3 short months in your Live Big Mastermind, wow, you helped me get clarity around my entire planning schedule, and how to make sure I keep the balance in my own business and life, especially since that’s what I teach. I’ve simplified my website, and lead generation systems so things run a lot smoother now which is taking a lot of stress out. I’ve taken advantage of more speaking opportunities, online summits and am collaborating a lot more with other experts that are growing my reach tremendously. Plus I finally created and launched the high-end mastermind that I have been called to lead for years now and filled it with 5 new people in 30 days! I can’t wait to see what else we create as I’m on target for my best year yet!”
