The Follow up System that Made Me $3,000,000 [STEAL IT]

Your 5 Steps Action Plan

  1. Follow up consistently: 8-12 times for products under $1,000, and 24+ times for products over $1,000.
  2. Use retargeting pixels and ads across multiple platforms to stay visible to potential customers.
  3. Focus on providing value through personal, educational emails rather than constant sales pitches.
  4. Leverage social media as your new landing page, encouraging leads to follow and engage with your organic content.
  5. Be patient and persistent - some customers may convert years after initial contact if you maintain consistent follow-ups.

I'm Brad Smith, owner of Automationlinks and I've helped over 2500 businesses grow in the last 10 years and I've followed up with over 5,000 leads in 10 years. Here's what works to convert them into customers.


Why Leads Leave Your Website

Most visitors find you through social media, Google, or YouTube. They visit your website or a landing page. 99.9% leave and never return unless you use retargeting pixels.


Retargeting Visitors with Ads

Retarget them on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Show them videos, get them to schedule calls, or remind them about abandoned carts.


How Often to Follow Up

  • For products over $1,000: Follow up 24 times
  • For products under $1,000: Follow up 8-12 times


Some clients sign up after 3 years of follow-ups. Be omnipresent.


Building Trust Through Emails

Send personal, value-adding emails, not just sales pitches. Educate and provide useful information to stand out from competitors.

  2. Get leads to follow you on social media
  3. Show organic posts regularly
  4. Use retargeting ads
  5. Send personal, educational emails


Provide value consistently

Remember, the goal is to follow up forever. Get them on your email list, set up retargeting ads, and keep providing value.


I have a full follow-up guide that will teach you exactly how to bring new leads in and follow up with them until they're ready to buy. Just click on "blueprint" and you will be redirected to the follow-up guide page.

  • How many times should I follow up with a lead?

    For products under $1,000, follow up 8-12 times. For products over $1,000, follow up at least 24 times.

  • What's the best way to retarget website visitors?

    Use retargeting pixels and show ads on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

  • Should my follow-up emails be sales-focused?

    No, focus on providing value and education rather than constant sales pitches.

  • How important is social media in the follow-up process?

    Very important. Treat social media as your new landing page and encourage leads to follow your accounts.

  • How long should I keep following up with leads?

    Ideally, you should follow up indefinitely. Some clients may convert years after initial contact.
