Questions about delegating sales follow-up
How many follow-ups are enough?
Several spaced touches over a few weeks is common, each adding something new. Stop after the final touch and record the deal as lost with a reason.
Should follow-ups come from me or my assistant?
Either works. Many owners have follow-ups sent from their own address by delegation so the thread stays continuous, with replies routed back to them.
