Follow-Up & Follow-Through

The strength of your business is dependent on your follow-

through with each person you make contact.

What is follow-up?

Developing relationships.

Giving good service.

Asking questions & Making suggestions.

Giving direction & guidance.

Working to build groups/pockets of PV.

Working to build an organization.

It all starts with having…

…the right attitude.

…a big picture in mind.

…a game plan/process/strategy.

…the knowledge that it takes 3 - 5 “touches”, contacts, or interactions to make a friend.

…the understanding that the Shaklee difference is as much about how we take care of our customers and partners as it is about our products, philosophy, and opportunity.

Key Factors in Effective Follow-up

Have a step-by-step process you follow.

it and then teach it.
