The Fortune Is in the Follow-up!

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Do you hang up on a prospective client who calls to find out about your service?

When an associate offers you a business opportunity, do you walk off without a response?

Do you write “wasteful – unreliable – indifferent” on your marketing collateral?

Not in a million years?

Then why pay for the privilege of networking and then toss out your ROI because you choose not to follow up?

• Not following up wastes your time and money.
• Not following up wastes your hot opportunities.
• Not following up wastes your reputation.

Follow-up = Opportunities = Money

People with a good follow-up system are known for their integrity, service, and accountability. Those without are prey to procrastination, an endless feeling of being overwhelmed, and forever saying, “I’m sorry!” Which are you?

The fortune is in the follow-up!

Be one of the forward-thinking MPI members who will:

• Learn how to move from the “knowing” to the “doing” of follow-up.
• Unlock WHY you don’t follow up on a subconscious level and create a can-do solution.
• Implement the KEY component of your success and grow your business by 20%.
• Receive a bonus step-by-step handout of Kathleen’s successful follow-up system to be used as your model.

Kathleen Ronald, “Queen of Business Networking,” is an unparalleled networker, an internationally renowned speaker-trainer, and the founder of Speaktacular. Kathleen has more than 25 years of experience providing custom inspirational keynotes and training seminars to Fortune 500 companies, smaller business and professional associations.

Author of the soon-to-be-released Networking Bible, Queen Kathleen excels at helping people shed the cookie-cutter approach to prospecting and develop personal, authentic strategies that “build their net worth by building their network.”

The moniker aside, Kathleen asserts, “you network computers, but you connect with people.” With a lifelong reputation for uniting people and building communities, she has founded successful networking groups, Fortune 10/10 (a women’s investment group), and WOW (Women of Wealth) Ventures and co-founded WIN (Women in Networking).

Thousands of people who are high-tech, low-tech, and no-tech-at-all have reaped the powerful benefits of Kathleen’s Speaktacular presentations. Her audiences consistently rank her number one at conferences and conventions. With an electrifying, comedic style all her own, she delivers empowering programs that not only motivate but also produce bottom-line results.

Kathleen has devoted 25 years to helping organizations redefine their ideas of what’s possible. For more than a decade, companies and solopreneurs have hired her as a culture-change consultant, resulting in first-year revenue increases of 20 to 50%.
