#Step-by-step process

Schedule follow-ups

Set clear next-touch dates on the opportunity.

Use sequences for nurture

Enroll leads in an email sequence for steady, planned touches.

Personalize key moments

Send a tailored message at decision time.

Know when to stop

Mark lost leads so sequences stop.

#Decision points

Decisions to make along the way

Manual touch or sequence enrollment?
When to make a final ask?

#Approval points

No formal approval gate

This routine has no separate sign-off step, but review your work before it affects clients or finances.

#Success metrics

Response rate to follow-ups
Fewer proposals left hanging

#Best practices

Always agree the next step before ending a call.
Let sequences handle steady cadence; personalize the moments that matter.

#Common mistakes

Giving up after one follow-up.
Leaving no next-touch date.

#Realistic example

In practice

After a proposal, the owner schedules two follow-ups and enrolls the lead in a nurture sequence. A tailored note at day 10 gets a reply and a signed deal.
