Summary

This lesson covers how to improve your follow-up process after sending a proposal. You will learn when to follow up, what to say, and how to keep deals moving without being pushy or annoying the prospect.

Most proposals do not close themselves. Without a clear follow-up plan, deals stall and prospects go quiet. This chapter helps you build a follow-up cadence that keeps proposals moving without being pushy. You will learn when to follow up, what to say at each touchpoint, and how to use proposal tracking data to time your outreach based on when prospects actually engage with the document.
