It can take time to gain trust and build a relationship with a new lead—and if not properly nurtured, it can turn into a lost opportunity. Here are five tips for staying in touch to turn that lead into a client.

找出他们的喜好

Not everyone checks their email. Would text, video chat, or a phone call be better? Or what about through social media? Ask for their preferred mode of communication, so you have the best chance of connecting.

阻断时间

Whether it is a thank you for attending an open house or relaying data about a property, don’t let a gap in your response time cause a customer to go elsewhere. Instead, treat your follow-ups like an appointment. Utilize a scheduling application to keep you on track.

更加以客户为中心

You, of course, want to grow your business. But no one wants to be treated like they are being sold to or seen as just a transaction. Focus on developing a stronger relationship. For example, ask more questions instead of reaching out with sales pitches.
