Why Consistent Follow-Up Wins More Deals

Most salespeople give up too early. The data is clear: 80% of sales require at least five follow-up contacts, yet 44% of salespeople give up after just one follow-up. ## The Follow-Up Gap This creates a massive opportunity for those who persist. By simply maintaining consistent contact with your prospects, you're already outperforming nearly half your competition. ## Building Your Cadence The key is having a system. Without one, follow-ups fall through the cracks. You forget who you called last week. You lose track of when to reach out again. That's exactly why we built DailyDial - to make consistent follow-up automatic. ## The Right Frequency How often should you follow up? It depends on your industry and deal size, but here's a general framework: - **Hot leads**: Every 2-3 days - **Warm prospects**: Weekly - **Nurture contacts**: Every 2-4 weeks ## Take Action Start by auditing your current follow-up habits. How many touches does your average deal take? Where are prospects falling through the cracks? Then build a system to ensure no opportunity is forgotten.
