Business owners spend time, money and resources on attracting sales, but 80% of leads generated by marketing efforts either fall through the cracks or are ignored. Furthermore, it takes four to six communication points for an interest to convert into a sale. That said, many business owners are a few touchpoints away from making sales.
In this month’s Business Learning Series, we are speaking about the client intake process. This process is a compilation of templates, tools, and workflows that help with consistency, optimization, and accountability in managing inquiries received from all sources.
Business owners leave with a system that fosters:
- Timely communication with clients
- Better client onboarding experience
- Efficiency in handling client questions
- Quicker payment collection
- Increased testimonials and word of mouth
- And naturally, increase in revenue
Employees leave with a system that fosters:
- Rewarding working environment
- Easily transferable procedures for new employees
- Improved customer service
