Why Your Customers Aren’t Buying (Yet!)—And How to Fix It With Simple Follow-Ups

Let’s be real… how many times have YOU asked for a link to buy something with full intent to check out—only to get distracted, forget, or think, “Eh, I’ll do it later.”

🤷🏼‍♀️ Guilty. I do it all the time.

In fact, I’ve asked my girl Sarah for her nail link at least half a dozen times now. And guess what? STILL I haven’t checked out. (I promised her I would today as this is my accountability to doing so... it's in writing 😅)

👉🏻 ME = I'm Your potential customers.

They are busy. Overwhelmed. Waiting for the "right time."

And YOU are either:
1️⃣ Not following up because you don’t want to be “annoying.”
2️⃣ Not following up because you don’t have a system in place. 😳
