They assume it’s a ‘no’.” Mistakes often made: Not contacting enough times  Doing it too often Not thinking about that you need to “build the relationship”   Tips to help the followup process: Keep a record of when you make contact Try different ways of contacting someone Research the place or event to find common ground Do the follow up every 3-4 weeks “Follow up till you get a firm yes or a firm no” Be respectful in your way of contacting them Offer a question to them that gets them engaged back with you “The biggest thing in doing followups is to be consistent and persevering.” For more booking helps: https://tarab.vipmembervault.com/products/courses/view/10   You can listen on Amazon Audible music, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, iHeart radio, PlayerFM Stitcher, Spotify and more.
