Follow Up Cheatsheet

The Follow Up Cheatsheet is a tool to keep track of important conversations with those who can affect your career. One of the biggest reasons we don't see the successes we want is due to a lack of follow through. 

80% of sales require at least 5 follow-ups and sometimes as many as 12 just to get a yes or no response from someone. Yet 44% of salespeople give up after one follow-up. 

If you want more gigs, studio work, opportunities to collaborate, more students, clinic dates, even quality friendships, you MUST be more consistent and persistent in following up. I created this cheatsheet to help you do that. 

Step 1 - List the 20 most important people you know that directly impact your ability to work.

Step 2 - Find the Gatekeepers and Influencers involved in the areas you want to work in. 

Step 3 - Group different types of fans, target audiences, supporters for tier 3.

Step 4 - Create specific questions/requests for everyone on the list. Create a schedule to contact those people and track the conversations in the cheatsheet. 

Step 5 - Continue to follow up until you get a clear yes or no. Then proceed accordingly. 

Step 6 - Be awesome and celebrate your successes! Make sure give more than you ask and bring great things to the world.
