Shownotes
Follow up with an inbound lead in 60 seconds or less, and your conversion rate will be 300% higher.
In today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam are face to face for the second time ever—this time in Austin, Texas, which is quickly becoming the entrepreneurial Mecca (according to Kasim). They’re chatting about conversion and why all the traffic in the world doesn’t do much good unless you’re following up with leads immediately. Solidify your sales process from start to finish before you worry about getting more traffic.
Listen in as they share some valuable conversion tips—as well as something that’s really been energizing both of them lately.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- How a strategic two-email campaign could get you a 60-70% open rate
- How to know if you need more leads or a better conversion process
- Ways to analyze your “leaky bucket” and reverse engineer it logically
- Something you absolutely need in your life right now (that you might not realize)
