A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on... February 13=2C 2025=2C Issue #247 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor After a discovery call with a prospective client=2C many VAs wonder about= follow-up. How much is enough? How much is too much? Knowing what to do can be a tricky balancing act. On the one hand=2C we wa= nt new clients. On the other hand=2C we don=E2=80=99t want to appear despe= rate. The good news is that almost all discovery calls fall into one of two comm= on scenarios. Here is what they are and how to handle them: Scenario #1: They=E2=80=99re Not Sure As we end the discovery call=2C if the prospective client is not sure if t= hey=E2=80=99re ready to get started=2C I will say: =E2=80=9CIf questions come up as you=E2=80=99re thinking about working wit= h me=2C please let me know. I=E2=80=99m happy to jump on another call with= you.=E2=80=9D And then I ask=2C =E2=80=9CWould you like me to follow up w= ith you?=E2=80=9D If they say no=2C I say=2C =E2=80=9CGreat =E2=80=93 thank you so much for= your time today.=E2=80=9D If they say yes=2C I ask=2C =E2=80=9CWhen would you like me to do that?=E2= =80=9D Then=2C I immediately put the follow-up date on my calendar. When the day= arrives=2C I send an email like this: Hi first name=2C I hope you=E2=80=99re having a good day. I=E2=80=99m following up on our conversation last week to see if any quest= ions have come up about working with me. I=E2=80=99m happy to jump on a call if that would be helpful. Thanks! Belinda If they reply=2C I respond. If they don=E2=80=99t reply=2C I do nothing. Scenario #2: They=E2=80=99re Ready To Go If they say they=E2=80=99re ready to go and want to start working with me= =2C I send them an email like this: Hi first name=2C I enjoyed meeting with you today and look forward to getting started with= you. Here=E2=80=99s a link to buy your Debit Card: LINK Thanks! Belinda If they don=E2=80=99t buy the Debit Card within two days=2C I take the ema= il from my sent folder and forward it to them with a note that says: Hi first name=2C I just want to make sure this didn=E2=80=99t go to your spam folder. I look forward to getting started. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Belinda If they don=E2=80=99t respond or buy the Debit Card=2C I don=E2=80=99t fol= low up again. A few things to keep in mind=E2=80=A6 You have no idea what=E2=80=99s going on in your prospective client=E2=80= =99s life=2C so please don=E2=80=99t assume that silence on their part has= anything to do with you. Maybe their cat just died or they won the lotter= y. You just don=E2=80=99t know. You don=E2=80=99t want to work with someone who=E2=80=99s not ready (trust= me). So don=E2=80=99t try to talk them into it or try to =E2=80=9Csell=E2= =80=9D them. Be sure to add them to your email newsletter list and publish regularly. Y= our newsletter can serve as a gentle reminder without you emailing them di= rectly. Most important=2C just because they=E2=80=99re not ready now=2C doesn=E2= =80=99t mean that they won=E2=80=99t circle back around. You just never kn= ow!
