The Power of a Follow-Up System in your Public Speaking Journey w/ Ely Delaney
During a public speaking session, we are always promoting or selling a product or service in one way or the other. The more eyes you expose yourself to, the more leads you generate. It is, therefore, imperative to create a follow-up system to help you form strong networks with these leads. Prospects have to know you before they can decide if they can like you. Once they like you, they can decide if they will trust you. The system should be automated and able to survive the test of time, such as the emailing system. Join this conversation with Ely Delaney and learn these tips and much more.
