Mastering Proposal Follow-ups: The Gentle Art of Persistence
Hey folks, let's talk about a scenario that might sound all too familiar to you. You've crafted a killer proposal, you've sent it off with a hopeful heart, and then... crickets. You're met with silence that seems to stretch on for eternity.
Frustrating, isn't it? Well, that's where mastering proposal follow-ups come into play.
But here's the catch: You don't want to come across as pushy or annoying, but you also don't want to be that speaker who just fades into the background. The art of persistence lies in striking the perfect balance. And believe me, it IS an art!
In this episode, I will explore how to strike the right balance, what to include in your follow-ups, and even look at a few tools to take the stress out of this process.
So, are you ready to banish that radio silence and land more speaking gigs? Let's get to it!
