Did you know that a significant number of leads and inquiries receive minimal follow-up?
This lack of persistence is a key factor behind the low conversion rates and high failure rates that plague many businesses.
Let’s dive into some eye-opening statistics that highlight the importance of consistent follow-up:
- 48% of salespeople never follow up with a prospect.
- 25% of salespeople make a second contact and then stop.
- 12% of salespeople only make three contacts before giving up.
- Only 10% of salespeople make more than three contacts.
- 2% of sales are made on the first contact.
- 3% of sales are made on the second contact.
- 5% of sales are made on the third contact.
- 10% of sales are made on the fourth contact.
- A staggering 80% of sales are made between the fifth and twelfth contact.
These statistics reveal a clear pattern: persistence pays off.
The majority of sales are made after multiple contacts, yet only a small fraction of salespeople follow up more than three times.
In today’s competitive landscape, having an automated follow-up solution, coupled with a continuous supply of leads, is not just beneficial—it’s essential.
An effective follow-up strategy ensures that your business stays top-of-mind for potential customers, increasing the likelihood of conversion.
