Sales Club Devon · Session 3 · Pyschology of the Follow Up

Fortune is in the follow-up… but so is the fear. Or, how I stalled and what I learned to do about it. Event title: Sales Club Devon · Session 3 · Psychology of the Follow-Up Subtitle: Fortune is in the follow-up… but so is the fear. Or, how I stalled and what I learned to do about it. You've done the hard work. The new prospect is now top of pipeline. You've met the buying team; your pitch was on point. The proposal's been sent and you're wondering whether to call. This is when the fear kicks in. "Just checking in…" feels clichéd and persistence feels pushy, so if we haven't heard back, we shrug it off and focus on what's next. What difference might it make if we have confidence to follow up in a way that's timely, relevant and human? Join us for a thoughtful conversation on the psychology of the follow-up: why the final stage of the sales cycle is often where we struggle most and how we can overcome our fears to move from awkward into action.

However, rather than seeking out the corporate stamp of approval, she describes her greatest pleasure as "making people laugh, think… then buy". Georgina (or "G" to her friends) has a reputation for making difficult topics easy to understand, and for shining a much-needed light on important matters in leadership, the energy transition and responsible business.
