“You don’t have a follow-up problem—you have a qualification problem.” Michael Weaver
What’s in this episode:
Just because you had a good conversation doesn't mean it's a hot lead. In this episode, Michael and Courtney break down exactly how to qualify your follow-ups and stop wasting time on "maybes" that are really just polite nos. You'll learn the top characteristics of truly hot leads, how to spot red flags in real-time, and the follow-up script that gets instant clarity—so you can move on or move forward.
This episode is your tactical guide to cleaning up your pipeline and protecting your energy. Because not every follow-up is a hot lead... and it’s time to stop pretending they are.
