New leads aren't the only people who deserve your follow-up. 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.

Strategy with Sally is revisiting one of our most powerful conversations—this time with Allyson Brown, Director of Everheal, creator of the 4-Step LIFE Formula Program, and a PhD-trained analytical researcher who transformed her own life after overcoming Multiple Sclerosis.

Joined by co-host Ash, Customer Success Manager, Sally sits down with Allyson to explore the deeply personal journey that led her from navigating her own health challenges to helping others take back control of their wellbeing.

Allyson shares how her experience inspired her to help people break free from fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, inflammation, and autoimmune challenges—and why so many of us continue to put our health at the bottom of the priority list.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The warning signs that your body may be asking for a reset

• Why energy, inflammation, diet, mindset, and daily habits are all connected

• Practical ways to start prioritising your health without feeling overwhelmed

• Common misconceptions about health and wellness

• The influences and experiences that shaped Allyson's approach

• How small, sustainable lifestyle changes can create meaningful results

• What Allyson might be doing today if she hadn't pursued a career in health

And, of course, we wrap things up with a fun Fast Talk round, where Allyson reveals her personal health and lifestyle preferences.

Whether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or revisiting it, this episode is an important reminder:

Your health deserves a promotion.

If you've been putting your wellbeing on the back burner, let this conversation be your reminder—and your roadmap—to start making yourself a priority.

How often should you follow up without becoming the person who feels like they're haunting someone's inbox? 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.

Not every business needs a complicated follow-up system—but every business does need the right follow-ups happening consistently. In this episode of Follow-Up Quick Tips, Sally shares the three essential follow-up stages every business should have in place: inquiry follow-ups, appointment follow-ups, and proposal or quote follow-ups, along with why consistency matters more than complexity.

Learn how to create a simple follow-up process by deciding when each follow-up happens, who owns it, what the message says, and what to do if there's no response. Your quick action is to identify which of these three follow-up systems is least consistent in your business and improve that one first to stop opportunities slipping through the cracks.

When a lead suddenly stops responding, it's easy to assume they're no longer interested—but that's not always the case. In this episode of Follow-Up Quick Tips, Sally shares how to follow up with quiet leads in a way that feels helpful, respectful, and easy to respond to, without sounding pushy or desperate.

Learn simple follow-up messages that encourage honest replies, give people permission to say "not yet" or "no," and help you move conversations forward with confidence. Your quick action is to reach out to one quiet lead using a clear, helpful message that makes the next step easy—because clarity is always better than wondering.
