Maximizing Leads: My Journey to Follow-Up Success

[pamperedpals]

I just wanted to share with everyone a quick story.

About a month or so ago, I was getting request for catalog's left and right from people seeing my decals on the back window's of my car. So the first couple of people I gave the catalog's out to, I didn't get any contact information.

Then I decided that I needed to get the contact information to follow-up with people. So I have following up with people a few days after I give them a catalog. I have obtain some orders and am currently working booking a couple of people.

This past Wednesday, my DH call's me a work and say this lady named so and so called and want's you to call her back because she has an order for herself and a friend. She also wanted to know why you never followed up with her. Dingy me wrote her contact information on the back of the receipt and I threw it away.

So I called her that night and we ended up scheduling a catalog show for this month. I also appologized profusely to her and let her know what happened and why I didn't call her back.

I have since changed the way I get contact info. from people, I have a pack of dps in my PC Tote bag and I fill those out now.

This is really my first month of doing anything with my biz in a few months and I am so exicted about going again!

Congratulations Laurie! Great way to work your business. I also carry around the DPDS. I usually tell people that the cost of the catalog is for them to fill out the DPDS!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Thanks for the story Laurie! I have a few people I sent catalogs to that you are motivating me to follow up with!

Sorry, gotta ask, what's a DPDS?? Or DPS??

Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a teen-age text message with all the acronyms around here!

Door Prize Drawing Slip or Door Prize Slip... hth! Don't worry it takes us all a while to get used to all acronyms used on here

Thanks Alison!

I'm at work and to tired to put any thought into it, I tried. I love that whenever you ask a question around here it does get answered pretty fast!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Don't worry about - there are plenty of times when I am too tired to comprehend something - you just lucked out and got my after a workout, so all my juices are a'flowin!

In an email I got from the lemonade lady I think; she says to carry only ONE catalog with you....that way you can say "oh I only have one" & you have to get their info to send them one:thumbup:

Yep - carry the Catalog Tote as your purse (you can order one on supply) and just have one catalog showing in the front. When someone asks you for a catalog, just say, "Oh, I'm sorry, this is my only one left - here, write your information on this slip and I'll send one to you asap!" Then, you have their info. and can follow up! I do this all the time when I go to the grocery store - it works!
