Bumping it Up : From Inbox to Impact: The Power of Timely Follow-Ups

In today’s fast-paced world, the volume of messages and emails we receive can be overwhelming. As a CRO, I’ve learned that the key to cutting through this noise is the power of the follow-up. Following up is not just a task; it’s a critical strategy for success.

Here’s why: A single message can easily get lost in a crowded inbox. By following up, you ensure your communication gets the attention it deserves. Timing is crucial—schedule your follow-ups during periods when you know your recipient is likely to read their messages. A well-timed bump can make all the difference. Keep bumping it up.

Aim for at least three follow-ups. Persistence shows commitment and increases the chances of getting a response. This approach is essential for everyone. It’s also incredibly useful in personal life, ensuring important conversations don’t fall by the wayside.

Never assume your message is received until you get an acknowledgment. Use multiple mediums—email, phone calls, messaging apps—to ensure your message is seen.

The art of follow-up is about diligence and persistence. It’s a small effort that leads to significant outcomes. Don’t let your important messages be ignored—follow up and make your voice heard.
