Sales & Marketing, Growth Zones

It’s time to #AskSuzi! To start off this brand-new series, I’ll be answering a question I get from women business owners all the time.

“How can I turn cold leads into warm leads… without feeling like a used car salesman??”

It’s something the majority of new (and even established) business owners feel uncomfortable doing. But the good news? There is a science to it. Let’s dive into it.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 

  • Why following up with cold leads feels so awkward (and what you can do to reframe it)
  • What to say when following up without sounding awkward or ‘desperate’ for the sale.
  • What adding value (without asking for the sale) builds the trust and momentum you need
  • Why creating a PATHWAY to the sale is your best bet to reaching it.
  • How to design a simple lead nurturing pathway that moves prospects towards becoming clients.
