Follow-up refers to the communication that occurs after an initial interaction, whether that’s a form submission, meeting, or campaign touchpoint. It’s one of the most critical yet overlooked parts of the sales and marketing process.
In B2B sales, timely and relevant follow-up can make the difference between interest and action. While automation helps maintain momentum, adding a personal touch builds credibility and trust. A thoughtful follow-up shows professionalism and genuine attention to the buyer’s needs. It reinforces value, keeps conversations moving, and often determines whether an opportunity is won or lost.
