Use Automated Follow-Ups to Build RelationshipsMost deals aren’t closed on the first contact, which is why follow-ups are essential.Example Workflow:Day 1: Send a thank-you email after a seller contacts you.Day 3: Share a case study of a seller you helped.Day 7: Send a friendly reminder with a call-to-action like “Let’s schedule a quick call to discuss your options.”Pro Tip: Mix email and SMS follow-ups to keep the conversation warm.Why It Works:Automation saves you time while nurturing leads until they’re ready to sell.3.
