“You have four seconds to make a good first impression. If you make a bad first impression, it takes 7 subsequent meetings to change that.” – Jordan Belfort
I know for sure after a trade show, the chance of booking 7 meetings with a client is not that high.
Here are some other stats on making the first contact (a call or email where the client replied) with the client:
- 5 out of 10 salespeople give up after the first
- 7 out of 10 give up after the second
- 8 out of 10 give up after the third
- 9 out of 10 give up after the fourth
If 9 out of 10 sales reps give up after the fourth contact, imagine the chance of booking that first meeting let alone the seventh meeting.
Hence, that first impression is critical.
