It’s like the colder weather slows down everyone’s blood flow and everyone goes into slow motion.
When was the last time you followed up with your existing customers? Last month? Last week? Or was it the last time they actually bought from you?
I can pretty much tell you that no matter how often you follow up with your customers, it’s not enough.
