#10 - Following Up
Elisha and I both like to be liked…probably more than we should.
That said, we didn’t want to be pushy or annoying, and we were hyper-aware of how we came across.
That said, we soon realized following up in a healthy was was a great help! We never know when someone is just too busy in the moment and forgets!
This applies to reaching out in person too! (In fact, there’s a gal right now I can’t find in my DM’s that I WISH would follow up because I want to try the workout program she’s selling but I lost her original message!) �
This video lays out when to follow up, how to follow up, and when to stop following up.
Make sure you keep organized because it can get confusing! I would keep a list of people I reached out to each day and a list of people I followed up with (and whether their response was yes/no/no response).
Bonus tip: if you’re nervous, don’t reach out to close friends/family first. It’s hard, because we care about the most and want to see them heathy! But they will also be the biggest hit to our confidence if they say “no.” If Lucy-Jane we didn’t really know in high school says “no,” it’s easier to count it as a win! Yes AND No are both great answers in this game of sales! The only answer we don’t want is no response.Elisha and I both like to be liked…probably more than we should. �
