your network?

habit?

Page 17: Contactually + Hurdlr Webinar - April 2016

Think in Terms of Hot, Warm or Cold Leads

Not everybody in your network is the same

Segmentation is key!

Bucket How many? Who are they?How often should I

follow up?

Hot 5In need of your service and

ready to buy. Every 3 days

Warm 15

Expressed interest in working with you or needing your type of service in the near future. Every 10 days

Cold 75

No immediate need, but could benefit from your

service at some point down the road. Every 60 days

We all know following up is important, but nearly all of us

drop the ball• It takes a lot of work and is generally time-

consuming• The pay-off isn’t always immediate• People are probably going to slip through

the cracks
