Episode #172: Sales Follow-Up Made Easy with Meridith Elliott Powell

In This Episode of The Buyer’s Mind with Jeff Shore:

Meredith Elliott Powell talks with Jeff about the importance of customer follow-up.  It’s not something we do just because our sales leader requires it or because the CRM is screaming at us.  As a sales professional follow-up is a service we’re providing to our customer to keep what they need in the forefront of their mind.  A follow-up mentality is a service mentality.
