I am presuming you have already read part one and two in this article series Discover How To Create Leads For Your Internet Marketing Promotion Business (part one) http://bit.ly/daxtTi And Following Up Until You Get Action In Your Internet Marketing Promotion Business (part two) http://bit.ly/agelHF

Following-up can be an acquired or innate skill that comes naturally to some and for others is a skill that takes time to develop over the course of their career. The Importance of follow-up in your business is huge because this is where the application of your skills and your ability to deliver the product/service become evident.

Whether you choose to follow up yourself or use a VA remember that little things can make a big difference in your internet marketing promotion business. Following up with your visitors to your blog is a simple way to show you care and also let them know you value them. You’ve already spent time and remember time is money to attract these leads. So don’t make the mistake of leaving them hanging after they have visited your blog. Just because someone hasn’t responded to one of your campaigns doesn’t mean that they don’t have an interest in your product or service — it may not have been convenient for them to act when they received your email.

“Think of Follow-up as an investment of your time that pays dividends and will bring referrals from your clients in droves when done properly.” — Brian J Fanslau

But most marketers give up after just 2 contacts - that means they’re missing 95% of potential sales! If you’re not following up, you’re leaving money on the table. Period.

The key is making your message not be about asking them to buy, or constantly supplying them with more info about your product or service. It must at some point take on the flavour of providing them with something that will directly benefit them. We’ve all seen this and probably been part of it. Basically this means creating and/or sharing items of high and relevant value that you can give away, while simultaneously building value in your brand, your company, or you individually with your clients.

A typical lead nurturing programme involves a series of letters, emails, case studies, success stories, articles, events, white papers, and webcasts. If you nurture your leads before selling, you’ll see more sales-ready leads, higher close ratios, a stronger sales pipeline and a shorter sales cycle.

If you can search, read, copy and paste, you have created a very simple yet powerful mode to follow up without being a creative writer, or videographer and spending thousand to produce content. You can simply copy the link, and in the subject line write “Article of Interest” and in the body, types “Please accept this short article I read. I found it very enlightening and thought you’d find some value in it”. Click send and you’re done!
