When it comes to following up with your prospects after you’ve shown them the business 1, 2, 3 or more months ago
learning how to use the drip follow up process will help you enroll more team members.
Think about how many presentations have been given by you and your team members in any one month period of time. A lot, right! If only 20-30% of those were enrolling then every month that goes by there are a lot of prospects that returned to their same life and habits each and every day. Maybe they are in a difference space. Maybe you thought of something you should have said differently or left out information that you did not know. There is a way to re-approach them – it’s called the Drip Follow Up Process. Dripping is the process of providing information on what is going on with your business in a non threatening and non “sales pitch” manner. Think of it as positive conversation.
This is how to use the drip follow up process to those prospects that said no, not now or even flat out no. Create a 90 day system where you drip on your prospect with lots of information about what’s going on with your business. The information includes but not limited to:
Information about your progress like when you added a new team member, just received a bonus check, went to a life-changing event or received some sort of recognition. If you won an incentive trip, share your success story with them and how you’ve been thinking about them and wanted to know how they are doing while you keep them up to date on what you’re doing. The drip can even be something about someone else that inspired you in some way so share a testimonial about that person in your company or on your team especially if the background of the person is similar to your prospects.
You see sometimes your prospect is saying no because they want to see how you do first, not just about your success but how seriously committed you are to your new business. When you learn how to use the drip follow up process, small bits of information about the industry, company awards, positive changes, new products and leadership shows that you are connected with a company that is moving and shaking. This causes your prospect to have you on their mind when things aren’t going as well as they had planned for their own situation. You’ll be the first the reach out to. You have the solution.
