Episode 54: You Don’t Have a Marketing Problem. You Have a Follow-Up Problem


Listen Later

If you’ve ever walked out of a coffee chat or networking event wondering, “Was that really worth my time?” — this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, Jennifer Kok, business strategist and founder of Next Wave Business Coaching, dives into Pillar #3: Your Network from her 9-Pillar Profitable Business Framework. Jennifer reveals why most entrepreneurs don’t have a marketing problem, they have a follow-up problem.

In this episode, you’ll learn why your network might be the most underused profit source in your business  and how to fix it using an authentic, 7-step follow-up system that’s genuine, simple, and never salesy.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear roadmap to:
 ✅ Build your Warm 100 — the contacts who already know, like, and trust you
 ✅ Follow up without feeling awkward or “bothering” people
 ✅ Transform business cards into meaningful, profitable relationships
 ✅ Become a super-connector who’s known, trusted, and remembered

Because the truth is… your next client probably already knows you — they’re just waiting for you to follow up.

“The fortune isn’t in the room- it’s in the follow-up.” — Jennifer Kok
