Criza Follow-up Manual (2025)
80% sales se fac după al 5-lea follow-up, dar 44% SDR renunță după primul (InsideSales 2024):
Stats Îngrijorătoare
- ❌ 44% SDR opresc după 1 follow-up (InsideSales)
- 📉 80% sales necesită 5-12 follow-ups (Marketing Donut)
- ⏰ 48% SDR nu fac follow-up niciodată (Brevet)
- 💸 $100-$400 cost per MQL - waste dacă nu urmărești
- 🔄 2-3 touchpoints media (vs 7-13 recomandat)
De Ce Eșuează
- 😫 Burnout: manual follow-up e repetitiv și demotivant
- 🤷 Forget: SDR uită să follow-up (CRM tasks ignored)
- ⚡ Volume: 100+ leads active = imposibil manual
- 🎯 Timing: wrong time to follow-up = missed window
- 📝 Personalizare: generic templates = low response

Best Practices Follow-up Sequences
DO - Funcționează
- ✅ Vary channel: email → call → SMS → video (nu doar email)
- ✅ Personalize beyond {firstName}: reference their company/role/industry
- ✅ Add value: insights, case studies, nu doar "checking in"
- ✅ Test timing: morning vs afternoon, weekday vs weekend
- ✅ Use breakup email: paradoxal dar funcționează (30% reply rate)
- ✅ Track engagement: stop sequence dacă replied/booked
DON'T - Greșeli
- ❌ Nu spam: 3+ emails/zi = blocked
- ❌ Nu copy-paste generic: "Just following up..." = delete
- ❌ Nu continui la infinit: 30 zile stop, re-engage la 90
- ❌ Nu ignora replies: dacă răspund "not interested", STOP
- ❌ Nu pitch every message: 80% value, 20% ask
- ❌ Nu uita unsubscribe: legal requirement + respect
