Keeping your name in front of a client is the best way to KEEP a client. Everyone loves to be appreciated and sending a thank-you note, especially a handwritten one, is a great way to follow-up. After attending a networking function, seminar or any other business event, I always follow-up with an email and then a handwritten note. Since this is a service that I offer to my clients, it solidifies that I am serious about my business when I actually do what I suggest they should do! Hiring a Virtual Marketing Assistant is one way to help you keep in touch with your clients and follow-up with clients, prospects and evens suspects. I'm always open to chatting with anyone interested in this type of service! Absolutely, Your Fortune IS in the Follow-Up – whether it is to a prospect or a client.

The dealership from which I ordered my new vehicle has: taken a verbal survey from me, sent me a survey, sent me a gift with a survey included, and then sent a survey on the survey and asked if they could phone me regarding my responses. That's overkill. Keep things to a happy medium! jillybeans I totally agree that entirely too many do not follow up — and then there is the opposite extreme.
