Do you spend more time sorting and qualifying leads than contacting them and making sales?
Do you wish leads had some kind of code so you could tell a dud from a stud instantly?
Do you struggle trying to figure out the "right" way to follow up with leads?

time sorting through
LOTS of leads and
very little time
following up, and
they make LOTS of
sales!

• Activity - like send an email
• Get replies
• Review the reply to see what it says, who its from, are they viable (in our opinion), research the company, etc
• Spend days or weeks following up over and over
![Page 13: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Problems you’re not aware of
• Wasting time you can't get back
• Reinforcing bad behavior – practice makes permanent
• Completely screwing your dollar per hour/activity ROI
![Page 14: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why you do this…
It’s what they taught you to do
They taught you nothing and you copied others
![Page 15: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is the REAL problem?
• You have not PRE-built qualification and follow up into a system
- The more you are involved and guess, fruitlessly follow up, etc the more un-systematized you are
![Page 16: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Solution?
Build a mini-system
•Choose an activity
–Sending emails
![Page 17: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How-To • Break into all phases
– send – response – sort – follow up
• Automate sending
• Build the response levels into the email
– 3 different links depending upon interest, industry, problem, etc
• Formulate your response ahead of time dependent upon how they responded
– Send to webinar OR send to call form OR send to email list
• Ultimately you want to do this for all your tactics
![Page 18: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BENEFITS TO YOU!
• Save time
• Can measure effectiveness of more pieces of system
• Allow people to sort themselves out more quickly
• Know how to follow up because it is already designed that way
![Page 19: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How do I know it works? • This is probably what
you and your company do already, but in a more general way
• It's simply that this piece has fallen through the measurement-cracks
• If you’re measuring something then you already do this – If you're not measuring,
then you're really screwed up

![Page 21: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What do we normally do? • Look at follow up
list • Sigh • Pick up phone, send
email...all blah • Find something else
to distract us – organize desk – have impromptu
meeting – more marketing
![Page 22: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Problems you’re not aware of
• Putting off sales
• You are enabling negative feelings, which makes you less effective all around
• Creating an opening for competitors – prospects like attention
![Page 23: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why you do this…
• Follow up is not fun
• You don't like being blown off or told NO
• Follow up feels like a losing battle
![Page 24: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What is the REAL problem?
You are expecting a bad outcome, a non-sale, a blow off, etc
•You are creating it by not doing follow up
![Page 25: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Solution? Create excitement through
ease and assurity • Reverse engineer
– How would you most like to follow up with these people • Design the follow up system to feed that method
• EX: You want to call only excited leads that are fully educated and have no barriers to buying? – Use questionnaires – Use videos – Use description of preferred client and their results
• These all pre-qualify and anyone who comes all way through is basically poised to buy
![Page 26: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BENEFITS TO YOU!
• Less time
•More fun for you
• Easier sales
•Better state of mind so you are more effective
![Page 27: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• This is the basic framework for internet marketers
• Their companies may pull in less than yours does, but I'll bet they make a lot more money than you do
• So follow the model
– it works
– that is why they do it
• And the people on their list tend to feel very connected to them - very loyal
Does it work?

Hold onto a business card forever or keep pushing someone forward in out CRM
Keep following up...forever
Judge them based on (imagined) potential worth of a sale...if it ever happens
Keep feeling annoyed and frustrated
![Page 33: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Problems you’re not aware of
• Mental weight
– every “maybe” is an unclosed door in your mind
• Devaluing yourself
– their money is more valuable then your ease of work / life
• Wasting time
– chasing "maybe" VS creating YES
![Page 34: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is the REAL problem?
You have forgotten that you are working to live and not living to work
• You are putting professional before personal
![Page 35: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
So what is the answer?
Design YOUR qualification list
• How do "I" FEEL about them? – attitude
– passion level
– appreciation level
– belief alignment
– action orientation
![Page 36: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
BENEFITS TO YOU!
• Stop chasing money and simply stay in touch with people you like
• Release a lot of mental stress
• You can clear the deck and re-prioritize
• You are in control
![Page 37: 3 Steps To Qualify Leads & Decide How To Follow Up With Them In Less Than A Minute @erikluhrs for @datadotcom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548754805806b5762f8b458e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Unanswered questions / no closure – someone who broke up with
you, even though things were great
– holding a grudge against a family member who died
– angry about being taken advantage of financially and not being able to do anything about it
• Then you finally decided to let go – you feel better instantly
– you think better
– thinking better leads to better job performance, which leads to...more sales
Does it work?
