But there are also many other things you can do to nurture your prospects until they&#039;re ready to say yes. Touching base by phone every 90 days. Creating &quot;magic moments&quot; and more.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for your comment Kostas. Yes an option to subscribe to your email list is a great idea.

If you can thrill your prospect when you meet them you&#039;ll get better buy in immediately than if you don&#039;t. But if you never follow-up with them you might as well not have bothered in the first place. A great initial meeting followed-up in a timely and appropriate manner, as suggested, will give you an amazing edge over most others out there.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good point, Jason, and thanks for your comment, but that is not the exclusive answer.
