Buenas prácticas de seguimiento de clientes potenciales

Sales lead follow-up is the process of reconnecting with potential customers (leads) after initial contact to nurture the relationship and move them further along the sales funnel. This step is crucial in converting leads into paying customers, as it helps maintain interest, answer questions, and address any concerns the prospect may have.

What is sales lead follow up?

Sales lead follow-up is the process of reaching out to potential customers after the initial contact to maintain their interest and move them closer to making a purchase. It involves ongoing communication through channels like phone calls, emails, or messages, ensuring that the lead remains engaged, informed, and nurtured throughout the sales journey.

Follow-ups are crucial because they help address any questions or concerns the lead might have, provide additional information, and build a relationship of trust. Effective follow-up increases the likelihood of converting leads into paying customers and is a key part of a successful sales process.

What are sales lead follow up best practices?  

Here are some sales lead follow up best practices to ensure you're maximizing your chances of turning leads into customers:

1. Act quickly and be responsive

  • Quick response: Aim to respond to leads within the first hour of contact, especially for inbound leads expressing immediate interest. This demonstrates responsiveness and keeps you top-of-mind.
  • Set realistic deadlines for follow-up: For outbound leads, establish a follow-up cadence with a clear timeframe for multiple attempts. Don't bombard them, but ensure consistent communication.

2. Personalize your outreach

  • Go beyond the name: Personalization shows effort and makes your outreach more relevant. Use information from the lead's inquiry to personalize your email content, referencing their specific needs or challenges.
  • Segment leads based on needs: Segment your leads based on their industry, interests, or buying stage. This allows you to tailor your follow-up messages to resonate with their specific situation.

3. Focus on value proposition

  • Lead with value, not just features: Don't just push your product or service. Highlight how it addresses their specific pain points and how it can benefit their business. Focus on the value proposition.
  • Provide helpful content: Offer valuable content like ebooks, white papers, or industry reports to establish yourself as a thought leader and provide solutions to their problems.

4. Multiple channels and persistence

  • Omnichannel approach: Don't rely solely on email. Utilize a mix of communication channels like phone calls, social media messages, or even personalized video messages to connect with prospects on their preferred platform.
  • Persistent, not pushy: Leave multiple voicemails if necessary, and follow up emails with a polite but firm persistence. The key is to find the balance between persistence and being a nuisance.

Encuestas sobre el pulso de los empleados:

Se trata de encuestas breves que pueden enviarse con frecuencia para comprobar rápidamente lo que piensan sus empleados sobre un tema. La encuesta consta de menos preguntas (no más de 10) para obtener la información rápidamente. Pueden administrarse a intervalos regulares (mensual/semanal/trimestral).

Reuniones individuales:

Celebrar reuniones periódicas de una hora de duración para mantener una charla informal con cada miembro del equipo es una forma excelente de hacerse una idea real de lo que les pasa. Al tratarse de una conversación segura y privada, te ayuda a obtener mejores detalles sobre un asunto.

eNPS:

eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) es una de las formas más sencillas y eficaces de evaluar la opinión de sus empleados sobre su empresa. Incluye una pregunta intrigante que mide la lealtad. Un ejemplo de preguntas de eNPS son ¿Qué probabilidades hay de que recomiende nuestra empresa a otras personas? Los empleados responden a la encuesta eNPS en una escala del 1 al 10, donde 10 significa que es "muy probable" que recomienden la empresa y 1 significa que es "muy improbable" que la recomienden.

En función de las respuestas, los empleados pueden clasificarse en tres categorías diferentes:

  • Promotores
    Empleados que han respondido positivamente o están de acuerdo.
  • Detractores
    Empleados que han reaccionado negativamente o no están de acuerdo.
  • Pasivos
    Empleados que se han mantenido neutrales con sus respuestas.
