Fortune Is In The Follow-up!

I guarantee you are losing money if you are not following-up after every consultation (or purchase for that matter). So here’s 10 points that I want to bring up about following-up:

#1 Consistent follow-up puts you ahead with winning the sale.
Detaching from the “when of the sale” & knowing when to sell.
44% of business owners don’t up on follow-up after the 1st meeting.... SHOW NOTES

🎉 We welcome you all to join us for the "afterparty" at the Clubhouse every Wednesday at 4pm EST to have a discussions around the topics we discuss on the show and all things business.

"I fell into floristry 10 years ago completely by accident. My boyfriend at the time (now my fiancé) helped me get my first job at a flower shop right out of High School. I was just looking for a way to pay for my college tuition. 4 years into my floral career I was diagnosed with cancer and I lost my mother to cancer... SHOW NOTES

Elizabeth Cronin founder of Asrai Garden has quickly became a household name in Chicago's floral wold, creating floral art for the locals and celebrities. 
What sets the Asrai Garden shops apart — and perhaps what intrigued HBO — is Cronin’s devotion to native plants and natural-looking arrangements. Cronin’s arrangements celebrate the “wild” look of flowers, often including prairie greens native to Illinois or taxidermied insects... SHOW NOTES

"The Flower Podcast"

Meet Scott

Scott Shepherd’s love of all things flowers began while he was still very young.  His desire to connect with nature and the beauty of flowers started on his grandparent’s farm and continued well into high school and college.  Scott graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Horticulture and upon graduating, fell into the world of cut flowers.   

Scott often says, “There are so many wonderful flowers in the world waiting to be discovered, I wanted to be a part of growing the industry with both blooms and the joy that comes with them.”
