Follow-Up · Pillar Guide
Follow-up sequences that close deals others abandon
Most deals are lost in the follow-up. 80% require 5+ touchpoints, but most teams stop after two. These systems build the structured cadences that keep prospects engaged without burning the relationship.
What this pillar covers
Sequence architecture
A 7-touch sequence over 21 days, mixing email, SMS, and voicemail drops — each touch adds value, never just 'checking in.'
Trigger-based branching
Engagement signals route prospects into higher-intent sequences automatically. Replies exit the automation and trigger a human handoff.
Long-term nurture
Prospects who don't convert enter a monthly value-add track that keeps you top-of-mind for the next 6–12 months.
