Good Morning!

Question time again
I had a PC contact me via Twitter, he had looked at my website and thought it looked like something that may be of interest to him.
I responded thanking him for checking out my site, and to feel free to contact me with any questions.

My question is: How long do you wait before following up with them? What are some good ways to bring it back up? (without sounding desperate/hounding/etc
I don't want to fall off the radar with them, but also don't want to seem pushy.

I appreciate any ideas!!

Thanks!

Hi LaVon, congrats on the PC!
Next time, take the opportunity to set up a consultation right away - you can do this without being (or feeling) pushy, just take it as a matter of course that the PC reached out to you in order to learn more.

Since the first communication was via Twitter, I don't see a problem with visiting the PC's site and sending them a note via the contact form or similar with the invite to a consult. Be sure to include a friendly, articulate comment, question, or observation about the client's company or product, or similar.

That way, you show that you have great follow-up, are truly interested in the PC's business, and that you are on the ball and get things done. It'll also give you a chance to do a little preliminary research on the PC and learn more about their business (which should give you some nice leverage for when you do have your consultation with them).

Thank you do much Tess for the input!
I will keep you posted on the progress!
I didn't think of offering a consultation right away. I will keep that in mind for future inquiries

Great information, Tess. I'm not sure why we have a tendency to be timid about selling or promoting our services.

I just sent a second email to a PC that someone referred to me. ~crosses fingers.

I said, "If I don't hear back from you I won't be a bother, but I wanted to ping you once more."
