There is a lesson to be learned... "The Fortune is in the Follow Up".

Now I am not GURU or self-proclaimed millionaire but I am working on it. I want to share this information to my APSENSE Friends as a Marketing Tip.

Make the Follow-up. I know that you may seem to think that you are pestering them or annoying them but really, if they are on your list, then they must have subscribed for a reason. If they subscribed to get more information about the opportunity that you are offering, then they must want to make money. They are just not sure.

It's good to use auto-responders but let's keep it real. We need to make a personal one-on-one contact. Think about it, do they really know you? Would you get into a bed with a stranger? ... Well maybe if she is a Halle Berry type...

Seriously though, the average person will not get into bed with a stranger. They want to get to get to know you first and see what you are all about. It's the same when it comes to business.

Set-up a meet and greet. Online, by phone, however. Give some information about you and introduce yourself as a person. Don't beat them over the head with you business but get to know them. Be real and make that connection. Talk business later.

Don't be in such a hurry to make the sale that we forget about customer service, satisfaction and setting up a trust factor.

I promise you that it will not hurt.
