In this episode of Follow-Up Quick Tips , Sally explains why effective follow-up is really about helping people make an informed decision—not pressuring them into buying. You'll learn how to use honest, useful questions that give people clarity, invite a genuine response, and make it easier for them to decide whether moving forward is right for them. Your GSD action is to take one of your existing follow-up messages and rewrite it so it feels supportive rather than sales-driven. Remove the fake urgency and focus instead on being useful, clear, and honest. Because good follow-up isn't about chasing the sale—it's about giving people the information and support they need to make the right decision.

In this episode of Follow-Up Quick Tips , Sally highlights one of the most overlooked opportunities in business: past clients. These are people who already know you, trust you, and may have a new problem you can help them solve. Learn how simple, genuine conversations can reopen relationships without turning your follow-up into a hard sell. Your GSD action is simple: choose five past clients and send each of them a genuine, relevant message to restart the conversation. Whether you ask how they're going, share something that made you think of them, ask what they're currently working on, or request a review or referral, the goal is simply to reconnect. No "just checking in," no awkward sales pitch—just start a real conversation.

#601: Quick Follow-Up Fixes 5/7: How Often Should You Follow Up
Aug 9, 20268 minS4

In this episode of Follow-Up Quick Tips , Sally breaks down why one follow-up is rarely enough and shares practical follow-up rhythms for both new leads and people who have already shown interest. She also explains the ATC (Attempt to Contact) approach and why your follow-ups should be useful, purposeful, and slightly different each time. You'll learn how to create a simple three-message follow-up rhythm: reconnect after the initial conversation, provide something genuinely helpful, and then close the loop respectfully if you still haven't heard back. The key isn't sending more messages—it's being consistent and making every message count. Your GSD action is to create your own simple three-message follow-up sequence so you always know what to send and when.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
