Why Most Follow-Ups Get Ignored (And How to Fix It) | #1312

Episode Summary

Most follow-ups get ignored not because buyers are busy, but because the message doesn’t add value. In this episode, Brandon explains how to turn follow-up into differentiation.

Episode Notes

Follow-up is one of the most misunderstood parts of sales. 

In this episode, Brandon breaks down why “just checking in” messages get ignored, how neutral follow-ups create work for buyers, and why relevance beats persistence every time.

You’ll learn how to write value-first follow-ups that advance decisions, how timing impacts response rates, and a simple framework for engineering replies. 

This episode reframes follow-up as a strategic lever, not a reminder loop, and shows how the right message makes responding easy.
