In my work with business professionals, I find that they often say to me that they have prospects that they haven’t followed up with (for whatever reason), or they lost track of some of the referrals people gave them. First of all, it’s hard to believe that someone wouldn’t have a process for tracking their referrals/prospects because that is potential revenue – but apparently this happens and probably more than it should. So, I came up with a simple tracking spreadsheet to help my clients better know who they have in their pool of prospects, in order for them to know where their prospective clients are at in their pipeline, and they don’t lose anyone (or drown them) on the way.
Did you know that according to the National Sales Executive Associates, they say that:
· 48% of Sales People Never follow up with a Prospect
· 25% of Sales People Make a Second Contact and Stop
· 12% of Sales People Only Make Three Contacts and Stop
· Only 10% of Sales People Make More Than Three Contacts
· 2% of Sales are made on the First Contact
· 3% of Sales are made on the Second Contact
· 5% of Sales are made on the Third Contact
· 10% of Sales are made on the Fourth Contact
· 80% of Sales are made on the fifth to the Twelfth Contact
What does that say to me? Being professionally persistent, brings in REVENUE.
