<\/a><\/p>\n by martin bissett<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\ntoday’s bissett bullet: \u201cyou know that potential new client who never returns calls or emails? following up with them regularly is disciplined but also desperate.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
i am always astonished when i go into accounting firms who expect me to be impressed by the fact that they follow up with prospects every month that they met with five years ago.<\/span><\/h4>\n
take the hint guys, it\u2019s a waste of time. while having discipline for following up prospects is good, it is always a good idea to know when to cut your losses too.<\/span><\/h4>\n
today\u2019s to-do:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
take a look at any of your prospects who have not returned your last three calls, messages or emails and see if you can make a case to me personally as to why you should continue to be in contact with them. if you can convince me, you should carry on.<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
