How to book more meetings

Booking more meetings goes hand-in-hand with attracting leads, so the techniques to attract both will be similar. Indeed, securing a meeting is one of the preliminary steps in obtaining a lead, who will ideally go on to be a full-fledged client. Here are some vital components of booking more meetings:

• Persistence is key. Always, always follow up! Five is the magic number when it comes to email responses–simply sending one or two emails and hoping for the best usually won’t cut it.
• Practice outreach. Use a variety of channels to communicate with your leads, including LinkedIn, other social media platforms, and targeted ad campaigns. Establishing multiple channels of communication allows for a backup in case one fails.
• Establish social rapport. In this broad category, you’re doing what it takes to win favor from others, and using this rapport to market your product to leads. This can mean..
  • obtaining referrals and endorsements from other leaders or experts in your field;
  • offering free merchandise, trials or consultations to potential customers;
  • creating partnerships with other businesses;
  • publishing testimonies of successful use cases of your product or service.
