2. The process begins. You send out your mailing of 200 letters.

3. A week later, follow up with phone calls. Making allrepparttar calls, including getting back torepparttar 121113 people who didn't answerrepparttar 121114 phone because they were in a meeting, on vacation, or whatever will take you another week.

4. Send out material to those who requested it.

5. A week later, follow up withrepparttar 121115 people you sent material to.

6. A month afterrepparttar 121116 initial mailing, send another mailing to everyone fromrepparttar 121117 original 200 who expressed any interest at all, no matter how slight that interest was.

7. A month after that, send out another mailing, or make phone calls to ALLrepparttar 121118 prospects who were interested fromrepparttar 121119 first mailing. This means that you've contactedrepparttar 121120 responsives fromrepparttar 121121 200 you sentrepparttar 121122 original mailing to at least THREE times.

8. Six months afterrepparttar 121123 first mailing (it's now three months since they heard from you) follow up with another mailing.

9. Three months later, follow up again.

How many clients will you get from that original mailing of 200? My guess, over 12 months, you'll get at least TEN. Twenty would be excellent. (Remember that from two to five isrepparttar 121124 very least you'll get.)

Now, let's imagine that overrepparttar 121125 next two years, each of those ten clients spends $500 with you. Conservatively, that's $5000 from one mailing to 200 prospects.

It's also $5000 you won't earn unless you work on building relationships by following up with your prospects. So when you send a mailing, remember that you need to follow-up. That's whererepparttar 121126 money is.
