BuddyCRM Sales Tip #1 – Persistence

More calls + more emails equals more appointments equals more sales.

📞 + 📧 = 💰

It’s a well-known fact in sales that those who persist in pursuing their pipeline and refusing to let leads dry up and go cold will see results. In fact, 80% of sales are made on the fifth to twelfth contact. The same research shows that 48% of Sales People don’t follow up.*

One of the benefits of BuddyCRM is that you can set reminders for your cold calling so that you never forget a callback. Plus if you forget to schedule a callback, the system will help remind you.

BuddyCRM user, Carol Lilley at Howell Penny backs this up…

’I frequently find that I have to call some contacts repeatedly before I’m put through to the key contact or have a worthwhile conversation. BuddyCRM sends me useful little reminders so that I don’t miss any leads in my pipeline’.

Your prospects have a lot going on in their lives and your business is not always top of their list. Although you don’t want to hassle them, you need to make sure that you keep in contact, ensuring that you stay on their agenda.

Make sure it is not a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind!’
