To **manage prospect follow-ups after a discovery meeting**, record the meeting notes and the prospect's needs immediately, define the next step with a date, prepare and send the proposal and schedule follow-ups until the prospect decides.

In **Jestor**, prospects move through a **CRM** pipeline, and every follow-up is a task with an owner.

## Why do prospects go cold after the first meeting?

Partners hold good discovery meetings and then get busy with client work. The proposal is delayed and follow-ups are forgotten.

The prospect interprets silence as lack of interest and chooses another firm.

Notes from the meeting stay in a notebook.

## What problems does structured follow-up solve?

- Proposals sent late
- Follow-ups forgotten
- Meeting notes lost
- No view of the sales pipeline
- Unknown conversion rates

## How do I manage follow-ups in Jestor?

1. **Record meeting notes** and needs on the prospect card.
2. **Define the next step** with a date and owner.
3. **Create a proposal task** with a deadline.
4. **Schedule follow-ups** after the proposal is sent.

| Pipeline phase          | Next step                      |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Discovery done          | Send summary and proposal date |
| Proposal in preparation | Finish and review              |
| Proposal sent           | Follow up                      |
| Negotiation             | Adjust scope or fees           |

## How do I make follow-ups feel natural?

A short summary of the meeting, sent the same day, shows attention and keeps the conversation going.

Follow-up messages that add value, such as a useful insight, are better received than simple reminders.
