OBJECTION HANDLING
- "We need more time" → Acknowledge their timeline, offer to check back in a few weeks, and share additional resources in the meantime.
- "Budget is the issue" → Highlight potential ROI and flexible payment plans that align with their budgetary needs.
- "We're going with a competitor" → Respect their decision, but ask if there are any areas they felt were lacking that WheellsVerse could address differently.
- "Not a priority right now" → Acknowledge shifting priorities, and suggest a future follow-up to revisit when the timing might be better.
MULTI-CHANNEL STRATEGY
- LinkedIn message: Use for value-add touches, such as sharing relevant content or industry reports, ideally after the initial email follow-up.
- Phone call: Best for direct questions or when seeking immediate feedback. Leave a voicemail if not answered.
- Video message (Loom): Effective after the third touch to re-engage more personally and visually, especially if they haven't responded to written communication.
WINNING FOLLOW-UP PRINCIPLES
1. Always Add Value: Each touch should offer something new or insightful. 2. Be Concise and Clear: Keep messages short and to the point. 3. Personalize Your Approach: Tailor your communication to their specific needs and industry. 4. Respect Their Time: Space out follow-ups and be mindful not to overwhelm. 5. Stay Positive and Professional: Maintain a friendly tone, regardless of the outcome.
