Research studies over a number of years all reveal that 80% of sales occur only after at least five follow-ups.

Think about that. It takes at least five continuous follow-up attempts before a customer says yes. FIVE!

There are some striking statistics on this:

  • 44% of sales reps give up after one follow up.
  • 22% give up after two follow ups.
  • 14% give up after three follow ups.
  • 12% give up after four follow ups.

That tells us that 92% of sales reps give up after four “no’s”, and only 8% of sales people ask for the sale a fifth time.

When you consider that 80% of prospects say “no” four times before they say “yes”, the inference is that 8% of sales reps are closing 80% of the sales.

Why are these 8% of sales reps so successful? There are a number of factors which make a good salesperson excellent, but one of the most important is persistence,“ these are the 8% that don’t give up.

Fostering Persistence with a CRM

Consistently doing five or more follow-up calls per lead can quickly add up to hundreds of follow up calls per week. Several opportunities can fall through the cracks unless you have a proven sales process combined with a good moving CRM system that assists your sales team in completing and tracking their follow ups.

In the end, even the most talented sales reps will fail if they do not have the proper systems in place for following up with prospects. A good moving company CRM system must offer powerful sales automation tools that will help turn your good sales reps into great closers.

Up until recently, moving company CRM systems offered a way to track leads and opportunities.However, they were lacking sophisticated sales follow up management features needed to help sales reps get that elusive “yes” from their prospects.
