I’m not new to Twitter, but I often have a hard time trying to figure out what to tweet about. I’m just getting my blog off the ground, too.

Keep it up.

PS. Your blog is lovely.

I am new to twitter and have got stuck on it like an addition but i hope it does all the things you have said on the tin!

Keep posting if only to vent ideas your clients have not brought…!

All the best,

1. Simplistically: call them back when you previously said you were going to “OK I’ll mail you a presentation; can I give you a call back in 2 weeks to see what you thought?”. NEVER rely on them to call you.
2. That’s not always easy as you don’t want to hassle people. So find an excuse to send them further information. ” I was thinking of our meeting last week and thought you might like ZZZZZ to help you in your decision”

I guess you are just trying to ensure they do not forget you. You realise that salespeople rarely are able to MAKE people buy. People usually decide to buy at an appropriate time FOR THEM…just make sure you are around at that point.

so going back to the article…Twitter away with them. It’s less intrusive a communication mechanism than others as it can be ignored (which of course is a danger)

I have come across your blogs through Linked In on the ASID page and I love your blogs, they have helped me in so many ways, thank you. I would love to read an article on your advise with marketing, what is the best way to follow up with clients who are interested in your business and say they will call you back.

That way you ‘kill 2 birds with 1 stone’ ie writing the blog is number one and using twitter is number 2.Have a look as well at the following post:
