The senario:
Bear in mind every new lead is a potential customer for life.
In good faith your passed a lead by a fellow CC, who offers you a finders fee should the job lead to paid work.
Would you then:
A - Follow up the enquirey, maybe you get the job maybe you don't - Mail the CC who gave you the lead to let them know the outcome.
B - Follow up the enquirey, maybe you get the job maybe you don't - Don't bother letting the CC who gave you the enquirey in good faith know the outcome.
C - Follow up the enquirey, maybe you get the job maybe you don't - Don't even bother to acknowledge the initial passing on of the enquirey with a thank you, let alone let them know the outcome of the enquirey.
It just gets my goat in business when people don't respond, or take way to long to do so. If I didn't reply to a customer enquirey within a max of 24 hours I would feel that I'm letting it slip - when people take 5, 6, 7, days or longer, I just think there just taking the pi**. Is it me or do all the companies we deal with, i.e. Chemical supplies, Website designers / website Optimisers and best of all printers seem to not want our business? they seem to do nothing until you ring and kick them in the arse - un - be - F***ing - lievable!!!
Ok that's all, Just blowing off some steam - haven't slept for 2 nights, soon to be 3 no doubt, I'm sure there is a perfectly good explanation.
