Follow-Up Timing Best Practices

• Same day: Send recap within 2 hours of the call while it is fresh.
• Day 3: Provide additional value — a relevant resource or insight.
• Day 7: Check in on materials sent.
• Day 14: Share social proof or a new angle.
• Day 21: Final follow-up with an easy out.
• Never follow up more than once per week unless they have explicitly asked for more frequent updates.
