The Critical Follow-Up Principle
<aside>
The campaign doesn't end when someone responds.
Most revenue comes from systematic follow-up after initial engagement.

Your Persistence Matters.
<aside>
Continue following up until they explicitly tell you to stop.
This works because:
- Most people don't respond immediately even when interested
- Persistence demonstrates commitment and professionalism
- Multiple touchpoints build familiarity and trust
- Decision-makers appreciate direct communication

Follow-Up Timeline
- 3 Days After Initial Response: Reference their specific situation or recent content they've shared.
- 1 Week Later: Share a relevant insight or resource related to their goals.
- 2 Weeks Later: Make a direct offer for a brief conversation to explore mutual opportunities.
- 1 Month Later: Check in with new industry insights or relevant opportunities.
